A TRIBUTE TO OUR ALMA MATER

     By: Sundaresan Suresh
          [1981 batch]
Does any tree forget that it was once a tender sapling?
        What if, there hadn’t been a caring nursery and a gardener loving?

                 An ocean does recall it was a tiny drop one day
                What if rain gods would not have come their way?

         Doesn’t TajMahal realize that it would have been uncut marble?
          But for the efforts of creative and imaginative artisans able?

           Does not Diamond remember that it was mere black, coal?
                What if the flux of time had not been merciful?

Our own Kamalamma garus, Yajulus, Bhanumathis Kanakavallis andTripura Sarkars,
          Unhesitatingly took care of you me and other little creatures

     It was because of their selfless commitment and monumental dedication
                 That they made some great sons and daughters of nation

                     It was here that we were taught our 3 Rs
          And also along with it discipline, manners, courage and valour
Not to mention duty, honesty, integrity, charity and punctuality
    Interest in sports and games was kindled here in actuality

  Our artistic skills and aesthetic sense were sharpened but here
 Petty squabbles and innocuous skirmishes also had their fair share

       To be washed away in the pure waters of friendship
      Backed by mutual love and affection from heart not lip

      There is a similarity between Bill gates and our almamater
In garages began their journey which would become sensational later

           To us, AAS is no ordinary brick and mortar stuff
         it is teachers’ blood and toil and their Huff & puff

 To the studious ones, it rekindles memories of academic brilliance
     To the sports/games minded, it reminds of friendly alliance
Over 4 decades and still marching ahead is a great success
         Even the all World marathon, can only be rated less

 From Rented premises at Satyen Dutt Road, and Hindusthan Park
Own building, auditorium and ground at Shahnagar Road is a landmark

        It was and continues to remain a sculptor’s studio ideal
Where shapeless rocks are effortlessly transformed into artfaces and idols

             For some of us our own fathers are the dearest
   While certain others hold their respective mothers as their nearest

    How does an inanimate thing become a source of perennial joy?
      Our school stands testimony to this –verify it yourself boy!

  AAS shall, amidst student fraternity and academic faculty, ring a bell
        The Sound of which shall not be measurable in decibel!
