On popular demand I am putting my little speech here.
"Sometimes the simplest things in life are the most difficult; I always thought that when I will finally be called to say a few words on my experience with you it will be a cakewalk because I can speak volumes for a person like you. But here I am today, standing in front of you all and no words come out , I really don’t know what to say. What have you been to me? A friend, a guide, a mentor, an inspiration, a bright sun, a rainbow or just the lady luck shining on me in full glory. I do not know and perhaps never will but I can say one thing, you have touched my life in such a special way that you will always be a part of me. I don’t think you will ever understand how much of me as a person has been shaped by you in the past few weeks. Every moment in which I have interacted with you I have learnt, and I have learnt things which no business school can teach me. You are a beautiful and stunning example of how lovely a life can be. I especially remember today the long chats we had near the cliff on just anything under the sun and the long long walks at the shores talking endlessly. After each walk I have felt as if I have been enlightened on areas which I had never thought were so crucial to me as a person. Just as I remember all the past life experiments we did which have taught me so much.You know, I always thought that I was a positive influence on everyone around me but I think that was only because I had never met anybody like you, I have never experienced such vibes. For me meeting you has been a gift of God. You know in Indian philosophy we say that when God wants to give you something he comes in human form or chooses a person to deliver you that something. For me you have been the person God has chosen. I know I have never told you, was too busy pulling your leg and playing pranks on you , but I really like the strength of character and conviction in you just as I like your absolute confidence in yourself. I know if any day I need somebody to stand by me I can depend on you totally. I have no hesitation in saying today that by far in this programme I have found you the most impressive, as a student, as a speaker,as a thinker and above all as a person. Please remain what you are always. I do not know when we will meet each other again but till that happens I bid you goodbye and no I am not going to say good luck because people like you don’t need it , you create it !!!"
