SOMETHING I LOOK AT-400
BY- SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY
The students who made our school(one of the best in the state)
ABINASH KUMAR SAHU
As a bright star in Nuapatna's sky
he shone so high,
Born to Kshetramohan and Binapani with dreams soaring nigh.
In Nuapatna Chatashali
his learning took flight,
Nurtured by wisdom
his future was bright.
At S.K Academy and Alanahat's hall,
Scaling great heights
he excelled above all.
HSCE in '78, his brilliance was clear,
Knowledge at Ravenshaw
he held so dear.
Under its banner
he conquered the test,
Marching to REC
where he proved he's the best.
A civil engineer, in '85 he stood tall,
Roorkee's M.Tech added glory to all.
Sharing his life with Laxmipriya's grace,
A true-life partner
in love's warm embrace.
Hard work and passion led to his fame
Unmatched in brilliance
a glorious name.
Now retired
but still on his quest
Unfolding new knowledge never at rest.
A chief engineer
a scholar so grand,
Pioneering water work
with a master's hand.
A role model
a beacon so bright,
Tireless in wisdom
a guiding light.
Now with Phd
he marches ahead,
A legend in learning
forever widespread.
