The Hot Neev 09 Team

We have been claiming that the senior Neev team is irresistible (if you ignore the big fat bengali co-ordinator) One talented Neev aspirant writes in with a poem to ask the oldest man at Neev out for a fresher's date. Post cardiac arrest, as he was being rushed to the nearest medical facility, the old man reportedly said, "Can she do HLOOKUP in Excel ?"

Here is the poem, which a talented reader sent out to Neev's Gaurav Parab

Here I am

Here I am, this is my story

Of how I sauntered through those imposing gates, unsuspecting yet weary.

To call it academic boot-camp was my first thought

A serious case of hyper-tension was what I had caught.

But things looked up, life began to change

So much did I get accustomed to my new life, the old me felt strange.

Not so often, did I think it possible to be

An act of embarrassment found doubled with glee.

It being called ‘Senior-junior interaction’ was the first devious step

To what soon appeared to be a rather healthy prospect.

With silent promises of memories to come

Seniors today, soon to be fast friends to some.

To join in with tradition, I walked the whole nine yards

I went up to him and caught him off guard.

My awkward question branded me a novice

Laced with shyness/stupidity, I did not feel wise.

He interviewed me once when I signed up for war

In that I was defeated, but in this one I won’t, I’m sure.

He struck me as a nice guy but nothing more,

I still don’t know what made me ask him, with all the embarrassment galore.

But time passed by and soon I was sure, this guy’s going to be fun

Making me think, Thank god I jumped the gun.

But you see merely asking isn’t enough, that’s not how men get wooed

I had to do something to appeal to him, his writing was rather good.

So here I am, trying hard to oh-so-casually lay my bait

Asking Gaurav Parab, would you be my fresher’s date?

Touched by this request, like one is touched during Hepatitis B vaccination - Gaurav Parab has responded with a poem called "Here you go back".

Here you go back

Dear Sender of emails, I give you ten out of ten

For showing flawless taste in men

But you have to understand this soon

You get a blank, since you reached for the moon

I am not as nice as it appears

The coming true of all your fears

If you thought I was easy game

Perhaps you should google my name

You have to be special to have my time

I am not falling for words that rhyme

Even if it is for a few hours in a stupid event

With me, you have to do better than what you sent

My arrogance stems from the remarkable women I have known

You are but a nice unremarkable girl unknown

Now, if you thought that I was fun

You are right, you jumped the gun

You will not find a nastier guy than me

Some hearts will gladly agree

So, if you want to be Gaurav Parab’s date

Don’t write poems, start with a clean slate

Yeah, Neev 09 is war.
