Departing from here.....
I turn dumbfounded realizing the idea itself
No wonder ‘Departure’ can do strange things to you
Words, stretched out across the plains, don’t thread together
The Memories make sense but Expressions don’t engender
Now, it’s too far to go between the hedges to get sense.
Literally, the act of departing defies all reasoning and sense
The subtlety is contained in each step taken towards saying Adieu
After finishing off a few jobs and leaving many things due
The empty walls of my room leave me pondering
With memories of the past and future dwellings
A Land that had novelty a few days back
Is part of me now and I’m taken aback--
When did I develop a bond with this place?
Will returning to my land give me solace?
Ah! But I have to return to make a new beginning
Tranquility of mind’ll follow and I do see it coming
Of course, reminiscent ideas will bring back Memories
Nostalgic and buoyant is what I’ll feel redeeming these Stories.

itna gehra bond kab and kaise ban gaya is 'tumlin' urf 'experience' se? i'm sure it ws ur prof, jiski wajah se u r planning on returning to GaTech and this place where you made so many memories!
"leaving many things due"
jaise? room/bathroom theek se saaf nahi kiya kya? :D
i'm sure (well, not really sure ... but kehne ka tareeka hai), u won't miss the 'experience' so much after settling down at IITK. as 'guru ji' said, hostel life rocks... u'll curse the days u spent here [a few days, i'll say :)]
