Home Away From Home

This is not just a collection of words, but an articulation of a feeling that has been dwelling inside of me for more than 3 long years now. Though my hostel life is about to come to an end pretty soon, still there are uncountable feelings and experiences, both good and bad and ofcourse some people that remain attached to it through all these years which will make this life always seem afresh to me!
Here's a narration of all that i've been through but its not in my words, rather in those of my sweetest friend Aman. He wrote it for me, I am writing it here! Reading it, every time makes me wonder how the hell could he elaborate my thing so well and speak my heart out! I myself wouldn't have been so precise. Thanks ain't really the word for it. Also, this goes out to all my hostelites who have been a companion on the same road as mine..



Its a bright morning, am away from home,
I am thinking of my past three years, where they have gone!

I was alloted room no. 320 on the 1st floor,
I find a girl inside as I step inside the door!

We shake our hands with doubts in our mind,
but now we are close friends, very difficult to find!

I now share my room with 4 of my friends,
we do a lot of fun and follow the latest trends!

I remember the birthday parties, I remember all the fun,
I remember the time we laughed together and standing under the sun!

All the moments we share and all the surprises i get,
All the songs we sung together, I can never forget!

I look at my pictures and smile of my own,
Yeah you make it for me, A home away from home!

Its a bright morning, am away from my home,
Am in a hostel away from my Mom...
But I never feel bored, I never feel alone,
You people make it for me, A HOME AWAY FROM HOME!!!
