Once upon a week; The summer was at peak.

CCS gave a call; Invited one and all.

To be a resting bird; In a nest called Hamdard.

Topics had flavour; For participants to savour.

Free speech raised a toast; As silence paid the most.

Answers were given to questions unasked; In moments of reason, chaos basked.

And food for thought; That nobody bought.

Buffet was laid to fill tummy; Without missing meals by mummy.

Bottles of water and cups of tea; Gave many reasons for glea.

Documentaries were a visual treat; Finding many bushes to beat.

Talent of participants was shown; As pumpkins were bought in market zone

Scholars House gave room for two; Attached bathroom and AC too.

Group games were the most fun; With ideas on a constant run.

Sangam Vihar we roamed around; Researching reality, fiction we found.

Pics were clicked in all poses; Of pretty faces and royal noses.

A final handshake, a short speech and a certificate; Made our day and sealed our fate.

Some kissed and hugged; Others cried and laughed.

Exchanging numbers and promising to meet; We made the final retreat.

Even the heavens couldn't bear the sight; They broke into tears, it rained that night.

Memories and thoughts we took away; Lived four lifetimes in four day.

A confession that i wish to express - 'If you want three letters to change your life

Let those letters be LSS'.
