-These were poems that I wrote at the start of my Bachelor's studies. Please bear with them because I am sure they aren't good. However I did want to add them here for future reference. I can then look back and laugh at how bad the writing was.

-## The Engineer
-
-I just opened my eyes,  
-but the teacher is still in class.  
-He is really such a bore,  
-but he just doesn’t know that, alas.  
-
-Everyone is acting it out,  
-they are now experts at faking rapport.  
-No point in listening now,  
-that ship has already sailed from the port.  
-
-Why don’t they get it,  
-Can’t teach one who has no interest.  
-I am forced to be here,  
-This is really the worst, I don’t jest.  
-
-I could be elsewhere,  
-doing something with my time,  
-but here I sit and cry,  
-nothing else but to write this rhyme.  
-
-Attendance is a sin,  
-It’s like I am paying to be jailed.  
-In India, Education is a business,  
-No one has the interest, I assayed.  
-
-Become an engineer,  
-then become what you want.  
-This is the mindset,  
-rebel and say you just can’t.  
-
-A Nation of graduates,  
-yet we still have nothing to show,  
-be what you want to be,  
-only then talent in gush will flow.  
-
-## The Future
-
-At times, I sit and wonder,  
-what awaits us I ponder.  
-Then I am suddenly brought,  
-to present where forever I am caught,  
-the future, we can’t control,  
-take life through its treacherous shoal.  
-In thoughts of future unknown,  
-we can be happy or cry and moan,  
-but none of that really matters,  
-as any future good or bad,  
-like glass can at any time shatter.  
-
-## Nostalgia
-
-Long gone are days of childhood past,  
-Never knew years flew by this fast.  
-It happened in the blink of an eye,  
-the game has begun, I have cast my die.  
-Nostalgia, the feeling makes me think,  
-of years that have suddenly begun to shrink.  
-I have lived he best years of my life,  
-have had all kinds of experiences in rife.  
-If I were given a chance to relive those days,  
-I wouldn’t change a thing, whatever anyone says.  
-I have never known a worry till now,  
-I think it’s because of my parents to whom I bow.  
-My family can be quirky at times,  
-but the love they give me, can’t be put in rhymes.  
-The friends I have are the best I could ask for,  
-I’ve had many since a time long before.  
-I hope I’ve been as good to them as they’ve been to me,  
-they are the best, if you meet them you’ll see.  
-I hope everyone is as lucky as I have been,  
-So take of the blindfolds and look at the world that is yet to be seen.  
-
-## The Road You Take
-
-Sometimes I wonder about what I am here for,  
-and when I am long gone will people sing my lore.  
-What is life, and how do you climb the summit of this tor?  
-or will I be another story that will just be a bore.  
-
-Should I aspire to be someone whose exploits are well known,  
-whose stories give inspiration to millions and many more ?  
-Or should I be the person whose achievements are his own,  
-another grain in the sand on the beautiful golden sea shore.  
-
-Aurelius rightly said, “One should have a good life”,  
-become immortal through the ideals and memories you leave behind.  
-Live a life with friends and family and have joy in rife,  
-your thoughts and actions stay on, thought you turn to grind.  
-
-But there are those who want to be well known even in stranger’s eyes,  
-those who want to change the course of history through words and act,  
-these men desire power and money, and these things are surely nice,  
-I understand how they feel and surely what they are getting at.  
-
-I am halfway down the middle among the two paths I talked about,  
-I keep dreaming, that there must be some kind of middle ground.  
-What if I can have privacy of home and also be an icon standing out  
-this is just a fantasy and for proof you just have to look around.  
-
-This choice is one that everybody has to make, and before it’s too late,  
-else they might end up with nothing, even with potential great/  
-Carefully weigh the options and decide and stick with the road you take,  
-and hopefully this poem will act as a beacon for the decision you have to make.  
-
-## The System
-
-The whole education system is messed up,  
-I have no idea how much water is in my cup.  
-Am I the only one who wants to change this ?  
-It’s like these hacks are aiming to miss.  
-I know it is a difficult task at hand,  
-but someone somewhere must make a stand.  
-Rote learning is worshipped in today’s class.  
-Wait, is this class, or some Sunday mass.  
-Science is the epitome of reason and thinking,  
-religious fools know not what they are sinking.  
-An enemy of logic is the enemy of mankind.  
-And come what may, I will speak my mind.  
-They interfere in matters they know nothing about,  
-they are on the loosing side, they are soon to find out.  
-Start thinking about this before it’s too late,  
-we are not going anywhere at this lousy rate.  
-But before that we must admit that we have a problem,  
-without which how can we all sit down and solve them.  
-
-## The Winner
-
-I see a lot of grief and sorrow,  
-but I still hope for a better tomorrow.  
-Hope helps a man of the world bear,  
-Woes and troubles amidst all despair.  
-
-Some see darkness through all the light,  
-others see light thought the darkness, bright.  
-People have gone through hardships in rife,  
-they never complain, because that’s just life.  
-
-These are the people who persevere and fight,  
-and also always keep their goal in sight.  
-This is why they are rewarded at the end,  
-but others think their success is godsend.  
-
-But in truth god had nothing do with it,  
-it was just one man working bit by bit.  
-No one knows all the failed attempts made,  
-he broke the constructs, others just obeyed.  
-Someone said, “Only failure is not to try”,  
-Never gave up, he would rather just die.
