MY LOVE***** MY TEMPLE OF LEARNING- MY ALMA MATER- ROORKEE

I wake up with fragrance all around meOpening my eyelids

From my old Fiat car running on zig-zag broken roadI see around beautiful landscape

Moving with me so smoothly

All rows of trees on both sides, loadedWith mangos and leeches inviting me to reach them

My chauffeur announced with sigh of reliefIn his voice 'destination is reached in few moments'

I smelt it, literally just by its fragrance that he said it right!

I reached my abode of learning, my Alma Mater!I felt we both were missing for a while

I felt as if she was awaiting me so long with her open armsI came out of my car swiftly and started

Walking on narrow and dwindling road and pathways

I reached green lavish grass carpetsAll around in front of Main Building

Inviting me as ever to rest and roll over themAnd to view a beautiful and magnificent proud vista of my Alma Mater

As if inviting me to touch her feetI felt as if I am touching feet of

Goddess mother of learning to bless me as alwaysShe blessed me every time

As she did to thousands of us all over in her long long cherished lifeChanging her names often over the Century, astonishingly

In few moments I walked into corridor of Rolls of HonorsOf illustrious alumni who constantly enrich Alma Mater

To make her proud every moment and always

Saluting them all, I walked into a gallery of GalaxyOf stars as Heads who all guided shaping of us all

A Tribute to Alma Mater by Prof. S. K. Khanna


Interwoven small stretches of narrow lanes communicatingHappily, led me to hefty Silver Oak trees standing steadilyLong for many years, as if waiting to welcome her home

Into the loving fold of my Alma Mater

Close by are the rows of tall buildings of learningLooking fresh as ever profusing knowledge to

Young ones excitingly

Walking all over through places of work and learningResources make me feel privileged

Of my possession of prestige and prosperity through them

From top of tall buildings, for beyond is the visionOf skyline of foothills of Himalaya ranges

Offering prayers to constantly flowing piousGanges into Canal as garland to my Alma Mater

I salute her to return to my destinyWith a promise to return to her soon
