I walked down the corridors for the first time,
Wondering what lies ahead,
I discovered
A bunch of extraordinary people,
Loads of fun and laughter,
Helping hands and sensitive gestures,
Encouraging voices and thoughtful manifestations,
Creative minds and thought provoking discussions,
I couldn't have hoped for better..

The complex interplay of forces,
The misty road ahead,
And the addictive desire for action,
Nudged me to move on..

I walk down the corridor for the last time,
Wondering what lies beyond,
Now Richer manifold
With newly forged friendships,
Beautiful memories and experiences,
Lending colors that will not fade for life..

Opulent buildings towering over all else,
with windows betraying empty offices,
A constant parade of expensive cars,
incongruous with the dilapidated roads,
Creator of ever so many millionaires,
now on the verge of bankruptcy,
The guardian of the citizens,
incapable of keeping it's promise,
The historic picture of prosperity,
is tainted by menacing debt,
The sea of opportunities,
is cautiously shrinking,

I hope
the heart to embrace cultures,
the passion to innovate,
the spirit of independence,
the dignity of labour,
the obsession to defend freedom,
live on untarnished..

To defeat the army of insecurity, 

To spring back after the hiatus, 

and reinstate this land as the destination of dreams!
