AWAY FROM HOME

-

 


When COVID came and the world locked down,
The initial days were boring.
The casual hangouts were missing
As things were far from restoring.
I missed my jolly college days,
The fun-filled chillings and talks
The soothing breeze every afternoon
With gentle aimless walks
The rush for mess, the dunk fights
That made our days vibrant
The howling rooms of the hostels
Have then all gone silent.
A month passed, then two
The cases were on the rise
To stay at home and take good care
Were advised by the wise.
But bored we got, sitting alone
With nothing much to do
But solitude was the tonic then,
The bane became a boon.
I took my laptop and got started
To find a way out
To bring me something interesting
To pass my time, no doubt.
Gradually, something caught my eye
Addicted to it I got.
It was nothing but development
Those that suit my accord.
I was gradually pulled in by the quicksand of knowledge
To explore the sea of thoughts
To arm myself with the resources
As resources were in lots.
As days passed, things changed outside
I was still a cocoon
Building myself with practice and patience
Toiling night and noon.
The internet is indeed so vast
So much to learn from here
If once you get it's real taste
You won't bother going elsewhere.
Works are rewarded, so was for mine
My affection for knowledge was on soar
Everyday, I just kept thinking
"What else I can learn more?"
Answers were hidden in the questions
Treasure hunt for more treasure
Now I was no more bored
My boredom has given me pleasure.
Then came the semesters of our college
Hated by all and me
But with google by our side all the time
We had remarkable victory.
But every phase of good spells are also broken by bad
Such was for us when long tideous classes
Literally got us mad.
A break was needed. A break was needed
Long was the stressful war
Luckily our wish was granted
And we had some days to be far.
But within this time, I had changed a lot
I guess, it wasn't that wrong
Because this phase of my life
Taught me to use the tongs
To pick up the true and kick off the rest
Because that's how the world goes
Being too bad or being too good
Both invite nothing but foes.
But I hadn't noticed that a worse enemy 
Was waiting out for me.
Our college called us back to campus
As Covid has left it's spree
But I truly felt my parent's love
The love which I missed so long
The lockdown had brought us all together
And kept us bound so strong
When college summons me
Back to the war
To finish the incomplete task
To take up vaccine reports as a badge
And wear the shield of mask
My eyes fill up with tears for my home
As a soldier feels for his motherland
I can't lift my suitcase again
With my memory-laden hands
Life is short, nobody knows
When we will be late
Just our memories will keep echoing
With the list of happy days
As I wave back to my mother a goodbye
Nostalgia hits me harsh
For 5 long months, I won't see her
The way I did for 2 years
The lovely dawns looked depressing
The roads and buildings in grief
As we head on to the destination
Flashbacks do the brief
I can see my days passing, 
And I can't hold them back
Perhaps this is the verdict of time
The past's almanack
Newer days will come, with bigger scopes
Out from my comfort zone
And that's how the story ends
As I go away from home

FROM THE OTHER END : PART 1

      Adi went to bed very late that night. Luckily, the next day was Sunday. So he could peacefully sleep for a long time. But wait. You guys don't know what he had actually done. Neither did Adi himself know. Well, before jumping into his weirdest works, let me give you a brief heads up about this talented guy and his works of talent. Well, I am not making any sarcastic remarks here. Adi indeed was talented. After all, he was a student at the prestigious Cambridge University. A brilliant student with an exceptional brain in Quantum Computing. Legends claim that he was previously a hacker who used to hack around for noble causes. Like the deletion of thousands of vulgar content from the dark web, targeting and bankrupting paedophiles and transferring that money to welfare organizations and NGOs, being completely hidden. Although there has been no strong evidence to prove that but his daily lifestyle proves the claim. Adi is a typical nerd. He gets up late, rushes to his college, g

THE CYBER FRIEND

  THE CYBER FRIEND Lucifer     Life is an amazing journey. No one knows where they are going to land. Some earn unbound fame and some become latent depending on time, situation, and state of mind. But the fact is, no one can predict or know in advance how it is all going to be. Some say that is the fun about life. While some feel a bit more comfortable knowing stuff beforehand. And sometimes life itself plays it mesmerisingly        It all begins with the lockdown of 2020. The world was served miseries by China's first authentic product, the Novel Corona Virus. This had a great impact on the entire globe, snatching jobs, causing discomfort, unbound number of infection cases, and deaths. Those who survived were living in trauma. Relative, friends, and loved ones were lost, governments became bankrupt. On one such remorseful evening, Ranveer went up the terrace and stood quietly. Suddenly a call comes and he rushes down to attend to it. He sits by his laptop and completes the projec

Mission: HAYABUSA

  MISSION HAYABUSA --- Lucifer     Once someone rightly said, "If you want something from the very bottom of your heart, you will definitely get it someday. Maybe later, but for sure." Love too follows the rule. Separations can come, and hearts might get broken due to certain scenarios. But if you stick to your faith in love, you will find it one day.       As Perman was leaving for the Bird planet, Pako was waving goodbye, along with her colleagues, Payan and Booby. But little did she know that the departures would be so painful. That night, when Pako sat on her bed, removed her Perman set, and turned into herself, into Sumire Hoshino, she began to feel a queer pain down her heart. She felt as if something was missing. She took her Perman badge and was about to make Perman a call. But then she remembered what Birdman had said. "You cannot use it for personal purposes. You will need to use it only when you are in an emergency and need backup." So she refrained from
