Underground

Blow at the elbow wakes me up, as they pass by
Stingy eyes under the hood over the cloak;
Droplets on my nose divide coincidences and indications
And the lightning struck as in my brain a war broke.


A bump on the front charioteer whirls me back
To the path I was running for a place to lurk
And unmask the yellow alerts hidden inside,
Before I open my eyes and get up with a jerk.


I’m splashing on puddles, piercing in halves 
Maybe the shivers of soily water keep me all ears;
Enter the tunnel called ‘Underground’ in my hometown
And I breeze into the darker side as the guide disappears.


The seventy yards of cover act seventy hours long
Each seed of suspicion slows every second down;
Echoes of horns paint the inner sheath of shadows,
The ones that creep through the carts around.


Indications find the heavier side of the balance.
It gets darker as I go deeper towards culmination;
Suddenly my wrists tighten and I stop at brakes, 
As I jump out of the Underground of my cogitation.

The grandest IIT campus is buzzing with bright faces emanating innocence and curiosity. As the latest batch prepares itself to adapt the legendary KGP life, TFPS decided to randomly pick some freshmen and bombard them with questions about their expectations from this campus. In addition, we interviewed some senior year students as well, in order to keep a check on ground reality. ;)
