26/11 - remembering our friends .....

26/11 - Remembering the late - Ajit & Monica Chhabria, Sunil & Reshma Parikh, Sanjay & Rita Agarwal, Rohinton Maloo, Mohit Harjani, Lavina Harjani, Ashok Kapur, Anand Bhatt, Pankaj Shah, Vishnidas-Nilam-Gunjan Narang, Neeti-Uday-Samar-Kang, Rupinder Randhawa, Ashok Kamte, Hemant Karkare, Vijay Salaskar, Tukaram Omble and the rest

They were with us till only a few years ago. They are but memories today, framed as photographs on mantles and embedded in our hearts. We continue to shed tears as we remember them. For the loss is ours. At the same time life has gone on for us, their friends, their families and most of all, the next generation, their children. We will have learned to smile again so that we do not disappoint them, our loved ones in heaven. The most important aspect is the progress of the next generation. They are doing well. God Bless them.

Happy Founders Day everyone!

Give me the strength lightly to bear my joys and sorrows.
Give me the strength to make my love fruitful in service.
Give me the strength never to disown the poor or bend my knees before insolent might.
Give me the strength to raise my mind high above daily trifles.
And give me the strength to surrender my strength to Thy will with love. -Tagore-

For having caused me to learn such and other noble words as from our school song `School First, House Next, Self last' - I thank you, my Cathedral and John Connon School! Happy Founders Day everyone!
