Innovation (Inovascio)

18th April, 2010 was a year since the CEP program ended. CEP was a learning program for many Second Year students like me... But then there was the fun too. We students had many chances to unleash our already existing talents and also of developing new ones. Writing songs was something I tried first at the CEP program. And this was the song I wrote first. I mentioned this song in my last post, in passing. Yes, this was the first song on which Bonhoffer helped me compose a tune. This eventually came to be known, unofficially, as the CEP theme song, which my friends (Sarah, Shweta, Munira) performed on stage along with Bonhoffer and I.

Innovation (Inovascio)

Lyrics: Runcil Rebello
Composer: Bonhoffer Endigeri

Fickle minded were we,
When we entered CEP.
We were ready to be forged
Ahead in time in this gorge.

Separated from our friends,
Ignorance came to an end.
Teamwork - our first lesson,
Attitudes go in the bin.

Chorus

Many lessons were to come,
Just hard work, nowhere to run.
Sleepless nights & dreamless days,
We were forced to search new ways.
Innovation is the need.
We're the ones to plant the seed,
Know that your reward is great,
We shall be successful, mate!

Camp Karnala brought us close,
Also kept us on our toes.
Treks, sessions, collages,
They were more than challenges.

Archaeology, Biotech,
Journalism, Cosmetics,
Advertising, Research,
Ready to fly off the perch.

Chorus

Not just careers but life's teachings,
Be assertive, public speaking,
Body reading, better studying,
Towards success, we are veering.
