Dentitis - Inflammation of a dental student


A long cherished dream is turning sour
Life is thrown out of my power


to become a dentist is akin to
tolerating torture, I never knew


Paying fines out of my pocket money, 
is now getting on my nerves, honey!!


Getting scolded for no mistake of mine,
thrown out of class, standing in a line


Sleeping in lectures that never seem to end
Passing time by miscalling friends


Being demotivated by teachers countless times
motivates me to write this rhyme


The postings turn out to be the worst nightmare
they subject us to torture one cannot bear


and the torture does not end here,
you can even fail is the worst fear


The only relief is the smelly canteen
a rare place for smiles to be seen


with tasty pulao and cold coffee to savour
we try to destress entire day's labour


The exam time is one helluva ride
cracking our domes, staying up all night


Caffiene addiction is the last measure
If that doesnt work, chits are our treasure ;)


The pracs are another thing we fear
the unidentifiable spots throw us outta gear!!


and the slides are our ultimate fascination
with cells dancing, giving no sign of recognition


Next comes vivas where we have a tought time
Even after studying, we end up like a mime


This precisely is the life we spend
Praying one day it ll come to an end



I wrote this when I was in III year, had joined the college after an undeserved exile, everything seemed so dark n shady then, m glad I was able to change things over the years!!
 This poem was written during one of the boring lectures I was forced to attend!!
