The Odyssey

We had made this video more than a year ago for the send-off of our seniors’ batch. It was recently posted on the Institute Facebook page. Here is the text of the poem I had written for those who wanted it (appears at the end of the video). The poem holds true even for my batch- I like to think it’s timeless:

What a journey this was, all the way through
We’ve had so much to see and do
So much we’ve done along this path
So much we’ve learnt from the very start

We’ve learnt the difference between boys and men
The value of a word, the strength of a pen
We’ve learnt to cherish life’s twists and bends
The blessings of a mentor, the importance of friends

The time to leave has come I fear
I end the odyssey I began here
And I recount all the days gone by
Of my life here at VJTI

My memories are what I’ll take along
And the bonds of friendship I’ve tempered strong
To my alma mater, I bid goodbye
And begin the journey to touch the sky!

    hey, the poem was quite touching. so far, what you've written fits to a t ; no doubt we'll feel the same way next year.
    btw, what was the last track? very haunting !
  • The last track is the end theme of Gladiator:

  • Brilliant stuff!

    Really loved the way you integrated the poem, music and the photographs!
    Hope there's more like this to come.
  • No re- I graduated this year. I really wish I had the time to do more of
    these things, but I've got far too many things on my plate for the
    foreseeable future.
  • Cool video! Loved the group photo thingy! :D
