The long rides in the ECR
Watching blue skies from the car
Speeding wheels over the tar
Rushing to become a dental star.
Crossing the toll to enter the class
Listening to the mentor’s scholarly
words
Imbibing the gist of the dental
concepts
Wondering how their white coat
sparks.
Walking over to the OPD
With books and bags through the
avenue
No time now to break for tea
Or to gaze at the blooming tree.
Hot air blowing from the sea
Not thinking about the waves you flee
Crossing the full waiting area with
glee
Hoping to get patients to see.
Reading till your name is called
Answering all the questions asked
Struggling to get a sign a day in the
record
Wishing one day the effort gets
reward.
Treating the patients so carefully
Using the skills acquired only
recently
Focussing on the case at hand
completely
Finishing with a feeling so heavenly.
Best friends who share their widest
smiles
Others who glow with budding smiles
Acqaintances who show only a shadow
of a smile
Without whom u could not have crossed
this mile.
There were times spent all in tears
Over the course of these past years
Crying over broken plaster and
dentures
Bleeding hands, run out time and yet
to be read pages.
All we wanted was time to fly
To become a star in the dental sky
Now memories linger and make me cry
For its never enough to live your
college life!
