The Illuminating Edifice: An Ode to North Eastern Hill University



Inscrutable and remote, our Alma Mater stands,
A bastion of knowledge in the hills of Meghalaya,
Nestled in the midst of dense forests and verdant strands.
Her halls resound with the echoes of discourse,
As scholars and students engage in fervent debates,
Unraveling the mysteries of science and the universe.

Her name, North Eastern Hill University, resounds,
A symphony of wisdom and learning in its own right,
A beacon of enlightenment in the dark and dreary surrounds.
From the depths of her libraries to the heights of her towers,
Her knowledge abounds, and wisdom flows like a rushing stream,
A source of inspiration for generations to come.

She stands as a symbol of excellence, a testament to her might,
A tribute to the power of the human mind and its boundless depths,
A monument to our quest for knowledge, a source of light.
Her classrooms, lecture halls, and laboratories all hold a wealth,
Of knowledge and experience, passed down from mentor to student,
A legacy that will endure, a legacy that will only grow.

And though she may be remote and inscrutable,
Her influence extends far beyond her borders and her halls,
A beacon of hope for all who seek truth and knowledge in these lands.
For she is a testament to what we as humans can achieve,
A symbol of what we can accomplish, when we set our minds to it,
A celebration of the boundless potential of the human spirit.

So let us sing an Ode to our Alma Mater, North Eastern Hill University,
A song of praise for her wisdom, her knowledge, and her might,
A paean to her beauty, her grace, and her unyielding spirit.
For she is a symbol of all that we as humans can achieve,
A reminder of our limitless potential and the boundless depths of our minds,
A source of inspiration for generations to come.

And so, let us stand in awe of our Alma Mater, North Eastern Hill University,
A bastion of knowledge, a symbol of wisdom, a source of light,
A tribute to our quest for knowledge and the boundless depths of our minds.
For she stands as a testament to what we can accomplish,
A source of inspiration for all who seek truth and knowledge in these lands,
A symbol of the boundless potential of the human spirit, a true work of art.
