This short poem was written on the first day of college. Having just moved from a small town to the “big bad city”, it was very unnerving and I was scared witless, but it wasn’t so bad after all.

"It is a beginning and an end,

With a void in between,

There are things I want to escape

And things that I hate to leave behind

I hate giving up my safety net but a new day I find

So with a clear mind and an unsure heart I proceed today

For it is only today that I have to make beautiful".

Where has all the Rum gone?

"This poem came about while studying for the Food & Beverage exam in the 2nd year. When all hope is lost, this poem helps rejuvenate the mind", says Varun Mani
