Summerz - Richa

When tension is rife
And summerz are all u think of in life
When PAT with expressions grave
Tell us to buck up and prepare.
When the infodrome is the lifeline
Any week, any day, any hour, any time
When CVs are screened by seniors
Who try hard to dispel all fears
When the buzzwords are 1A,1B, 1S, 2T..
Which create that aura, that mystery.
When deadlines are sacrosanct
If crossed, the forms are defunct.
When it is company blanks galore
Which are huge put-offs, big bores

The companies finally descend on campus
And everyone turns up at the earliest without any fuss.
Room No 4 is where the drama unfolds
The place where except summers everything else is on hold
The coordinators trying hard to calm the crowd
Who try their best to not be loud.
Shortlists of CVs, GD1, GD 2, PI 1, PI 2
At the end of which u have not a clue
If mission summerz is successful
Its hard to maintain your cool
Waiting for the golden words
‘Tank it. You are through!’
Wada Pavs for breakfast, wada pavs for lunch
How everyone hates the food crunch!
Cries of victory
Cries of worry
It’s a battle alright
The gds are the big fight
‘No fish markets please’
The corporates have to be appeased.
Passions ignited, determination, the fuel
Shouting matches, Verbal duels
The sedate interviews
Personalities and their various hues
A plethora of Emotions
Anticipation, hope, joy, excitement
Bitterness, Jealousy, Envy, disappointment
Resignation, Worry, Sorrow, Euphoria
Finally arrives the Day Zero
When the mysteries are unraveled
When PATs success is unparalleled
When placements happen at lightning speed
When nearly everyone is finally in good stead
The show goes on
Three cheers for PAT that made it all possible.
