A TRANSITION With a gleam in the eyes, feeling enthralled, With a touch of sorrow for the years bygone, I take my first step in this new world, This big setup of aims and hopes. Oh, yes, I’ve left back my old school days, Oh, yes, I’ve left my old hesitating ways, The shy, shy, quiet lad Has begun to change into someone grand. Yes, I feel a bit nervous, Yes, I feel as if I can’t relax, A new-found store of energy, Seems to strike away lethargy, With a powerful feeling from the depths of my heart, With wings of ambition to the dreams of my heart, I’ll look to the golden days ahead, Where marvelous beckoning await, I’ll go where the waves shall take me, The waves of glory and greatness In this sea of opportunities, And I’ll rise and rise and rise… Dhruv Bhatnagar 43/A/14 ECE-1
