Hi guys. This is a poem I composed to be read at the graduation day for the senior batch. Thought I will share with you people too.

The world is a big place,
To lead our small lives.
Life is a big race,
to be successful ,everyone thrives.

What measures your success?
Is it the wealth you amass?
Is it how powerful you are?
Let us stop asking these meaningless questions and answer.
It is how many lives you changed for good,
and for that change how strongly you stood.

What gives you strength?
It is not cast, creed, colour or nation.
It is the best gift one can get, i.e., proper education.
You are educated, not by the degrees you hold.
You are educated, not by the medals you have in gold.
You are educated, not even by the fact that you can count 1 to 10.
You are educated when you let your egos go and become Ladies and Gentlemen.

My dear countrymen, you can do much better
than a Facebook comment or a tweet in twitter.
What the world wants is not your running commentary about how life went,
but to take control and plan for the future.
For future is not a game you win.
For future is not a building you build.
For future is not a dream you dream.
Then what is future? Don't you have a clue?
My dear friends, future is nothing else but YOU.
