At the start there was nothing
But from the nothingness arose the five great elements

Fire, Earth, Air, Water and Aether.


Literati presents- Battle of the Batches : Elemental City.


Which primordial force will your batch command?


Maybe you blaze through the fields with a furious cry

Fierce, ruthless, head held high

Born of the furnace, the wildfire’s breath

You scorch the heavens and dance with death.


Now crumble, rumble, enter a mighty quake

You swallow entire kingdoms within your wake

Roots buried deep, unmovable, you never fall

When the earth itself answers your call.


Gusts and hails and soft summer breeze

You stir the realms and all that breathes

You glide untamed, wild and free

Their hands can't hit what their eyes can't see.


Or to the blue abyss, origin of it all,

Perhaps you answer the oceans call

From meandering forgiving gentle flow

To rise in torrents, a massive blow.


And for wielders of wonder, of silence and light 

You bend the unseen and vanish from sight?

Star eyed warrior with glorious intent

Mysterious, arcane, omnipotent.


Now size up your foes and lay down your verse

Claim your faction through a battle of words

Disturb the balance, leave behind your pity

Welcome all to the elemental city!


The division of the batches is:

1) Freshers

2) Sophomores

3) Thirdies

4) Fourthies

5) Fifthies + PGs + Alums (As per the previous spring semester)


Date: 5th May, 2025
Time: 4:30 pm onwards
Venue: LH101

Let the battle begin!

Freshies trip, Sophies sway,
Thirdies get lost along the way,
PGs drag their ancient feet,
While Fourthies bring the blistering heat.

We claim FIRE, watch us ignite,
Setting the stage, we own the night.

blazingly,
Fourthies

Pray tell us where the bones shake 
The rattling of traitors in our wake 
For those we trusted we now shall fight

We claim aether with our spite
For silence burns way more than fire 

For in the silence we whisper,
- Sophies

Fie, say to flame, worse is the water

Usurping earth’s power and whaling wind’s weather

Claim to the Aether’s power we place

Knaves be damned in this paganistic race

 

Undoubted is our vigour to win mother nature’s grace

... 

Yours ethereally,

Freshies

Beyond this plane,
Touched by neither fire nor water, 
Neither earth nor air-
So strong is our claim
To aether, to space;
Challenge us not,
Or wrath you will face.

For in silence we cry out,
Sophies

(Ooh, you've blown it now, kiddos
*drumbeat*
You're not aerodynamic enough for this one.)

Hah! Make way for your funeral procession,
Beating hearts, beat the drums, beats you can't lessen,
Beating air makes the sound pounding your eardrums
Beat retreat, shakes the ground, as enter the alums!

Air we'll adopt, leave you breathless, suffocating
We're Zeus and we're Rudra, and Odin and Fujin
Storms our prerogative, you waffle, you'll get R.I.P.ped
Venti we command, but we take it black, we got the drip
You're confined to your planet, we're unbound, we go solar
We're plasma, we de-power, so cower, you ain't polar
Convection, we roast you, or might just bite with chill
You could try kamikaze, but we're the divine wind

The younguns, they squabble over imaginary notions
Aether lies disproved, and Einstein victorious
For fourthies, apt fire, stoked by breeze, like we raised them
But like candles on birthdays, you can't rival our greatness

Through flutes and through winged beasts, we're music and motion
Pneumatic, we're power, ideal like the equation*
Your first cry and final breath, life and grim reaper
Flung like you're cabbages, faced with air benders**
