Institute of Entertainment & Timepass

Have you ever seen a place like this?

Situated in the middle of nowhere,
near the forest of trees,
in the silence of abandoned industries,
commute with only 'fatfaitya', please.
There the teenagers study engineering
with all the hypes and hopes,
soon they find their careers are gonna take a deep lope.


Where the freshers' party is always worth a watch
because every year it ends up in a brawl.
Shouting, screaming, swearing on your mom,
the chairman runs with a stick behind the mob.
'Very inspirational', the seniors say,
teaching us the ways to be and not to be.
So enjoy the ragging or at least pretend,
One day you will find yourself pleased.


Have you ever seen a place like this?

Where the MD is called ‘KUKU’
who's the so called MBA,
but everyone knows that he's an illiterate 
who can't even spell his sorry ‘A’.
The Dr. Chairman is no less.
On the AIDS day he lectures us -
"Use Condoms AFTER sex".
Musical nights are also worth a watch.
DJ plays only Bhangra and folk.
As the peeps hit the floor
a rope partitions girls safely from the male whores.
Rock performances have their way too,
A cult of 10 head bang in front while the
thousand others feel disgusted with the tune.

Have you ever seen a place like this??

Where gals and guys are banned from sitting together,
not in the classrooms but in the canteen.
For the sake of protecting the sisterhood
someone's destroying their teen.
The love birds still find their ways 
in the eternal ‘khopchas'.
It's a secret place to make love, people,
no one’s ever gonna catch ya!!

The lecturers in the class find empty chairs,
But somewhere there are no empty chairs.
KUKU goes crazy and calls his battalion.
But we know he's an alien.
While the guards shut the canteen down,
the daredevils jump off the walls
the losers return to the halls and this cycle carries on.

Have you ever seen a place like this??

A night before the exam everyone plays Counter-Strike.
The other day everyone prays the deity for a Favor-Strike.
The receptionist is now a TPO.
His biggest achievement is remembering KUKU's memo. 
KUKU keeps hiring new lecturers,
ain't new for us though,
who forgets the faces that ragged them so low ?
KUKU is now a dick-tator with a broom,
students realize that they are so doomed.

A few good companies come and recruit only a few,
the receptionist dials a phone or two.
While students introspect what went wrong,
time has come to bid goodbye.
Lucky ones get ready to stuff their belly,
Others pack their bags and head to Silicon Valley. 

10% of real placements will become 100% on the charts.
People will get impressed and donate with full heart.
KUKU will get richer, chairman the richest,
And this group of institutions will keep getting the biggest.
Crazy, isn't it??
It’s a vicious circle Mr. Ogden Nash,
And it hurts a little bit.

Isn't such a place worth a visit??
Well not for me because I m sick of it!!!!
That’s my alma mater.

@Jenee: Thanks for liking my poetry :). When you will come to India, i will take you to this place ;). Then even you will write about it :P

@Deepak: Well 'kuraiya' is one of the few good memories from our college that I will cherish :). But it would have been out of context here :P

@Shaunak: Thanks for dropping by buddy.Welcome to Subliminal verses :)

@Vishal: Haha.. I have spent 4 yrs of my life at this place. Haven't you?? ;). Thanks for dropping by, welcome to Subliminal verses :)

You aren't by any chance at my college are you? You have described it almost exactly! Except for one small detail, computers are banned at our hostel. Imagine that, no computers for computer science engineering students. Hehe... but we have our workarounds ;)

Ashish said...

Haha.. no wonder this happens only in India. My clg was in Alwar, Rajasthan. And i am indeed happy that I will never have to visit that place again. Whr is ur clg b/w?

Namita Kohli said...

hey.. some cool poetry... Parts of it remind me of my college... thankfully some dint exist in mine...
The piece seems like a satire on the kind of colleges who are just interested in making the moolah...

Aditi said...

Hey Ashish,
Ive been asking YOU to write - ive decided to do 1-2 post again. How bout u?
Hey i am seriously contemplating a ' I HATE KUKKU' page on FB or something... Lolzz. :D I wonder why he still makes my blood boil after 3 years!

Ashish said...

Yah Aditi, I am gonna write soon, thanks to frnds like u who r continuously encouraging me to do the same :). Though i usually don't support the idea of 'Hating some1 publicly' but for Kuku just bring it on girl, i am sure that all the IETians will love it!! :)
