Iim Lucknow Poem by Siva Shankar

It was but a moment ago
That we graduated from IIM Lucknow
Cheerful confidence and youthful glow
Did the campus to us bestow.

Sprawling hostels were but a dream,
Pedigreed companies blushed unseen.
But amidst the haze and career smokescreen
Academic rigour stood pristine.

Shock and awe had colour and form,
A brown envelope was the usual norm.
As QAM held sway like a raging storm,
Tutorial lightings would strike the dorm.

Sales & Marketing is the way
To honour, glory and decay.
Declared the professor clear as day
Lest the students go astray.

Strategy & Finance is a wonderful choice
Thundered the moneybag in a booming voice
The best of plans don't stand a chance
If wary bankers look askance.

Music, Dance and midnight walks
Stoked discussions and kindred talks
Friends bonded over a cup of tea,
And wondered about their destiny.

As we stepped to the world outside
With carefree gait though doubtful stride
The canvas of life embraced us in glee
For we were part of the IIM family.
