Lekha (Ansh 2)

Placements season for our seniors was good but not terrific. It was so not because our seniors were not good but because IIIT was still in the nascent stages and people in the industry did not know about IIIT. So when our placement season was round the corner all of us were nervous. Nervous because we were a larger batch and in some ways not as smart as our seniors. One of the initiatives (dont remember whose idea) was to prepare a CD, showcasing IIIT's talent, and circulate among the HR of the various companies. Kopos (Shashank) and others worked extensively in preparing this CD. I also wanted to make some contribution and again I used the power of writing. I wrote the lines that appear at the beginning of the multimedia content that was finally prepared. I dont have a copy of that CD and I guess nobody else has, but here are the lines:

Make a difference and conquer the world,
Out of school aspires the free bird,
But which institute to go, not know many,
It should be one, whose vision outbeat other any.

-------- A variation that I had written first --------

To conquer the world, enterprising and superfluous zeal,
To companies are qualities which strongly appeal,
But which institute to go, not know many,
It should be one, whose vision outbeat other any.
