“Dear Nature” - By Bhumika Raikote of BA Second Year

Dear Nature,

I want to be your friend,

I want to share everything with you,

All the sour, sweet and bitter days.

I know, I can have a human friend—

Who can hear me and understand me,

But they aren't good listeners as you,

Not that empathetic as you,

They can just hear me, not heal me.

The feel of the wind, hug me

The rain drop, wipe me 

The blooming flowers, strengthen me 

The greenery of trees—

Give tranquility to my soul.

You heal me, alone you—

Without any conditions,

Will you be my friend?

Nature — I am your friend.

“My Life” - By Ch.Nitheesha Reddy of BA Final Year

Live your life not theirs,

Their time is not yours,

My people are good,

But, I am not.

My world is bright,

But, I am not.

My struggles are real,

But not ample.

People think I am happy,

But, I am trying hard to be happy,

Yet I am unable to.

I am despondent, and

Didn't realise, when

Self-loathing entered in my life.

“Change - A Necessary Hell” - By Ch.Thanuja of BA Final Year

On the bed of stone,

Reminiscing the life of mine,

The decisions I regret now at nine.

I dreamt of computers,

But replaced it with patriotism,

Then realized, I have to love,

Started to love myself.

Didn’t understand, why hatred entered?

My dream to be kind,

Shattered into pieces.

Stepped into world with no dream,

Saw a dream again,

But blur,with obscurity.

I then, changed my dream

To follow my mind.

If I have a chance to travel back,

Will I select my heart?( Maybe no)
