Wake Me Up When Trimester Ends

Well, I have Always Hated The Trimester Pattern At NMIMS and On One Fine Day, I Had Thought Of This Poem , Which I Finally Wrote;;;


Exams Have Come and passed

The Jugaad Can Never Last

Wake Me Up When Trimester Ends

Like the Nerds We Never Pass

3 months Go Away So Fast

Wake Me up When Trimester Ends

Here Comes The Test Again

And the Prof Looks At Me In Disdain

Drenched in my Pain Again

Becoming What I Am Not

My Futile Attempt To Get The Answer

Makes Me Write All Crap

Wake Me Up When Trimester Ends

Exams Have Come And Passed

The Jugaad Can Never Last

Wake Me up When Trimester Ends

Bring Out The Frolic Again

Like We Did When July Began

Wake Me Up When Trimester Ends

At Times I Feel The Loss

And All My Dreams Go For a Toss

Some Weeks Ago We Had The Fests

We Laughed So Much At All the Jests

Wake me Up When Trimester Ends

No No I Cant Recall

All That TCP,OSPF and EIGRP Shit

Ohh Thats What Created All The Rift

Wake me Up When Trimester Ends

Wake Me Up When Trimester Ends

P.S.

Trimester here refers to the 3 semesters a year pattern followed at NMIMS and Not the Trimesters of Pregnancies.

Currently me being in the 10 th Trimester ;;

Eventually Poornima Madam Replaced Him- She was a Perfect teacher. Very Devoted to her Job

b) Plant 1 tree every year .Didnt Get a Chance, But Did Plant Two Mango Trees which have grown Big and Yeah bear Fruits also.
