The degree is a ticket to the world but also a notice of exile

I sensing a tinge of pain for not being able to participate in convocation at TISS today.The convocation brought a formal closure to the long associated relationship with the fellowship. Contrary to my expectations of feeling relieved, there is a lingering sadness in the heart. Getting a degree is a ticket to the world, but it is also a notice of exile. The moments spent in company of fellowship friends (both batches), teachers, people of Rohtas and district administration Sasaram have enriched my life in countless ways. 

I am also thankful to all family members, relatives and friends who supported me in my endeavours and blessed me with luck to brave the opportunities this life has offered. 

Thank you all. Wish you all luck, hope and love.
