A Vampire's Diary

B.Tech-M&A


I stand there among the shadows
the cool wind blowing in my face
smoking my last cigarette by the corner
I think about the past few months and how its been...

She had creeped up on me, and tapped my shoulder
asking, Mr. What time is it?
startled by her beauty, I stared
mesmerized by the glow in her eyes
Transfixed, I stood there
feeling her breath on my neck
the sweet sensation took me over
as she kissed me and gave me the gift of the living dead...

Into the shadows again she disappeared
leaving me completely famished
told me I was young, fresh blood I thirsted
asked me to hurry up and meet her downtown, where she lived...

power struggle on and on, in my mind
I had to decide, on the wrong and the right
in agony, screaming a silent scream I,
realized just what had happened tonight...

As I stood there, tried to reason through the horror
the urge for blood, crimson, I couldn't ignore
Hunting the allies, saw this runaway girl crying all alone
pounced on her, dug my fangs deep into her soft skin and let the warm
blood flow...

Looked up in a mixture of disgust and horror
looked at my watch, the needle wavering at the brink of the daylight hour
Time to leave, I realized, from all the creature features I'd read
disposing off her body, back home I fled...

And now I just search for sustenance to quench my insatiable thirst
but also to lend me company in the years to come
For I am alone in this world of agony for eternity
lurking the alleys like a shadow
by the corner smoking my last cigarette...
Just another shadow on the streets...

Hostel Memories and me  

Posted in

“Birthdays are nature’s way of telling us to eat more cake, and enjoy more”

One of the best memories of my hostel life are those of the birthdays we celebrate here…and I made yet another cherish able memory last Saturday, thanks to my roommates! It was one of my roomies’ birthday and we celebrated it as per the customs. And as we were enjoying every moment of it, my mind kept racing in the future, thinking about what will I remember about  this special day as I grow really old…the way we danced crazily? Or the way the poor birthday girl got her painful birthday bashes? Or the excitement we all had to see her reactions? No, i don’t think I would remember all that (I’m so very sure about my goldfish memory...), but what I shall remember is that I enjoyed my teenage life to the fullest and without any regrets (touchwood!!). And that is how most of us would want to remember our pasts right? (Bubble becomes Aunt Marge again?!!) Ah, well getting back to the hostel memory, birthdays surely have some kind of magic you know, no matter who is turning a  year old, it surely pumps you up a bit (you’d wish even the top floor stranger a happy birthday!). And when it comes to celebrating a birthday in the hostel, the magic increases manifold! The minute the clock strikes 12, the poor birthday boy/girl has to run for cover to escape from the ruthless bumps friends give! And then the chain of wishes from family and friends, dancing funky on typical music, going insane to the limits! Aah, im surely going to miss this frolic when I won’t be a hosteller, along with the plethora of other wonderful things!
There are a many many more things that my mind wants to pen down but somehow words are failing me to do so…that’s how emotions are sometimes! So time to get nostalgic again, and to leave you guys with lots of wishes….Sangathan ‘10 is rolling already  and mid-semesters aren’t far away people!! Adieu!

Message from Hon’ble Founder President for Sangathan

My dear students, faculty members, staff members and others at Amity University Rajasthan,

I am happy that from this year onwards it has been decided to involve the students of Amity University Rajasthan more rigorously with the event SANGATHAN and it is a great development.

SANGATHAN provides a unique opportunity wherein the students participating in various sports and athletic events can showcase their talent and skills, competence and interest and also this event greatly helps in developing multi-faceted qualities and virtues among them. This would tremendously lead to developing their overall personality and resulting in their faster career growth in times to come.
Whenever I had a chance to be with the students of Amity University Rajasthan, I was highly impressed from their dedication, loyalty and the urge to utilize their time in the best possible way during their stay. It has always given me immense pleasure and satisfaction.

I wish SANGATHAN 2010 of Amity University Rajasthan all the success and best joy.


I eagerly look forward to the participation of the winning teams of Amity University Rajasthan at the valedictory function of SANGATHAN 2010 at Amity University Noida campus.
