Graduation Day

Graduation Day (July 29,2007)

A day to part

Away from scholarly books

And mind boggling journals

Running words and trawling letters

Leaving behind the assignment

And examinations.

Graduation day

A fulfillment of recognition

Granted to measure the tough journey

Traveled in months and years

Browsing pages of papers

Now, insignificantly lie somewhere.

The sleepless nights

The restless moments

All have vanished with the crown

Received on this day.

A lot of happy smiles

And tears exchanged

During these periods,

But all joined together

To commemorate the hardship endured

To beat many through the journey

And come out the best among many.

The fear of losing the battle

And the agony of anticipation

Are all but flimsy tattles

Of this illusive mind

But never mind

There are no exams to mind, anymore,

at least for sometime.

Be ready to climb one more ladder

Make it your priceless ambition.

I wish you all the best, buddy

(Dedicated to my friend Mary Das from JB, Malaysia)
