Deepti Deeply Depressed

This is an excerpt from the lovely literature that is developed in our classroom on a rather regular basis by a lit goddess and this ameteur poet. For reasons of privacy, it has been edited.
I guess it best describes my state of mind today


Me:

Deepti Deeply Depressed

Done bad in almost all subjects so far
No where is my performance remotely above par
The memory of how I used to be does my conscience jar
What have I done with my life, yaar!

Have done terribly in MAC and Finance,
To be honest, I haven’t given myself a chance
All I have done is about the city of Indore prance
And at all the parties mindlessly dance!

Not just my room, my life is a mess
Every day the thought does me depress
I’m starting to like this place less and less
But I don’t know what to do now, I must confess

I’ve become lazy, I read no more
Even the newspaper seems such a bore
Don’t sleep soundly, don’t even snore
All I have done really is scream in a store*

(Manan wrote something here which i do not have a copy of)

Tanvi:(in response to manan's question)

Why is Deepti sad and depressed you ask,
She is used to being busy with productive tasks
Yet to get used to the idea of a free ride
Not learning anything new hurts her pride.

Being a software engineer prepares the ground,
For sleeping with eyes open among the hullabaloo and the sound
She was unlucky to have been untrained in that art,
She still hopes to do her part

The movie “office space” scared her quite a bit,
Through the entire movie she could not sit,
The ennui and the helplessness got her to the core,
She had hoped work would not be such a bore.


* - refers to an episode at Westside here at Indore where i was subject to some 'wonderful' customer service. however, in their defense, the day after i screamed in the store (it was a multifaceted terrible experience), i get a huge bouquet of roses and a box of pastry as an apology! :D
