Arrived as an alien here at LAX
  Availing an Educational loan of 20 Lakhs
Bachelor of Engineering at AU for four years
   Shaped us as Dormant and latent engineers
California for the Masters, as they used to say
   For the fun, sun, work, job and pay
Daylight Saving - Still I wonder
   Is that a necessity or a complete blunder?
Every festival in India leads to FB posts
   We are *jointly detached* from the actual hosts
Free food, Freebies is all what we hear
   *Apply Online*, *Couple of Weeks* - these two cause fear
GPa shouldn't create any pressure
   Although Giga Pascal is a measure
Home away from home is well understood
   When your roomies think on the same wavelength as you would
In the morning, I eat bread with nutella
   And in my leisure I sing Acapella
Justification of project ideas is always expected
   And I reply with Ctrl+J, totally unexpected
Kalavakkam to California with so much pride
   Masters life is nevertheless a bumpy ride
Living in the United States without chasing a dream
   Is like eating a bourbon without its cream
Muffins for the lunch and an apple for dinner
   Not only in the paint shop you get *thinner*
Nights spent on board games, cards and entertainment
   Is more remembered than those for projects and assignments
Out of the box thinking is the need of the hour
   It can take us higher than the Eiffel Tower
Provisions from Costco and Wal-Mart we buy in bulk
   And while carrying them we think of ourselves as Hulk
Quarter system is indeed hectic
   All work and no play sometimes make you sick
Rapturous noise we make at the end of the quarter
   Whatever the world thinks, it doesn’t matter
Songs are indeed the best companion
   Like the vegetable curries garnished with onion
Tete-a-tete with a good close friend
   Can change your life and set the trend
Uncertainties are very certain here
   Life takes a twist there and here
Valiant effort is what they expect
   If you are not shrewd, you are screwed
We should learn from people who are smart
  who don’t take success to mind and failure to heart
Xperience the difference
   Xperience the transition
Xperience the time zone change
   Xperience the temperature range
So many in X, as Masters is full of X factors
You yes yay!! The world’s super power
   Why don’t you follow kilometers per hour?
Zillion of things more to write
   This is just to give insight.
