Farewell...!

Strict, forbidding, disciplined - A terror

Yes, you were all this, and a little more

Yet, behind the façade lay a heart of gold

Several instances known-unknown …. stories untold

Honest, sincere, hard-working, true-to-the-core

You had a good hold on the unit, and all the daily chore

Warm, loving, human - you genuinely cared for all

Facing the wrath of seniors at times, shielding us all

Order, method, processes, practices

You were the one who set these in motion

Laying the foundation for future services

Grooming your team with total dedication

Automation software rolled out with limited means

Without any formal assistance or dedicated teams

Entailing manual data entry of thousands of records

Was an august example of your brilliance and class

Friend, philosopher, mentor, teacher, guide

You were certainly one of a rare kind

My memory is flooded with the good times we shared

The music, the laughter, the sense of belonging and care

The veterans in office fondly inquire about you today

You touched many lives in your unique, special way

Their eyes are filled with sadness and grief

Wishing you goodbye….and eternal peace!!
