LIGHTS OUT - Your journey to the 'antim pag'

Uncertain and anxious, 
you stepped in this world of crimson and steel;
leaving behind the hues of comfort,
you were burnt to fit the OG feel;

from a success story to a worthless 'jangu',
the fall was quick and steep;
difficult to make peace with reality,
very often made you question this leap; 


walking on two's was a thing of the past, 
your seniors introduced you to much cooler versions! 
Dirt, sweat , blood and bruise;
slowly erasing all your aversions... 


getting innovative day by day,
you learnt the tactics of OTA; 
gathering sleep bit by bit,
in this world, our 'jangu' had begun to fit 

many obstacles maneuvered' 
and life basics tossed; 
the lanyards were doned, 
and PT hurdles crossed! 

Battalion fall ins, the bajri order,
and all the hell that broke lose!! 
those sleepless nights saying thank you's,
the corridors witnessed shaping of the invincible zullus!


there were life lessons learnt, 
and countless memories made;
these uncharted waters, 
you did successfully wade!


your legacy will continue dear seniors,
a star lit path awaits you...
as for the barracks you called home, 
so SSC (W) 18, it is time...... LIGHTS OUT!
