            Phew! Yes. It's over. It's all over. All the fun. All the smiles. All the tears. It has all come to an end. But is this really the end?

See, I'm not gonna tell you not to worry or not to cry about it. In fact crying is okay. CEG is something that's even worth crying for. Coming to the point, four years is a big time in life. And these four years could have been just "years" had you studied somewhere else, but for a CEG'ian, these four years wouldn’t have been just years, they would have been such an enlightenment. They would have been something else that no words can define. The kind of exposure, the kind of opportunities, the kind of responsibilities, the kind of enjoyment, where do you even get all these? I mean you people are simply blessed. There can't be anything else than that. Period.

The color in your tag is red. Now that you are leaving college, the "red" is gonna dissolve in your blood and is gonna stay with you forever💕. It's not going anywhere. See, emotions are part of everything in life. But we shouldn't let them get the better of us. Just think for a minute, everything that this college offered you. When you were too young and confused when you stepped in, it offered you its lap and embraced you. It gave you beautiful friends whom you can now trust for the rest of your life. It gave you soulful juniors and seniors or rather brothers and sisters who actually are brothers and sisters. It gave you all the fun that you would have never even imagined in the form of all cultural events and symposiums. It gave you evergreen memories to cherish till your last breath. It gave you the pride that you can always brag about. What else does even a man need?  When you were so scared to even get on to a stage and stand in front of a crowd, CEG offered you a thousand stages to perform, to showcase what you have got to the world. When opportunities are such a rarity in life, CEG gave you all the opportunities and responsibilities in the world. Everyone dreams of a great college, but CEG is something that you can't even dream of.

The kind of exposure that you have now is second to none. Of course, there have been difficult times, yes. But those difficult times can't even come close to nullify the good times that you have had throughout. Just imagine how you were four years back and how tall you're standing now. CEG made you identify yourself and made you reborn again. CEG made you "you".

Now it's time to repay. Think, what are you even going to do for someone who defined your life? You are indebted, incredibly indebted. How are you even gonna repay it? Think. Don't call this "the end". The roots of your life are just laid. And the seed has just sprouted. You are just about to see the outside world. But remember, no matter how rough the weather is, your root is always gonna be strong.

You have a long way to go now. I'm pretty sure you'll grow and reach great heights in life, but never forget your roots that made you who you are. Make it proud. Do something great. You are not meant to just lead a normal life. Remember, "a small aim is a crime". There are lot of things happening around us every day. Use your skills to solve them. Uplift everyone. Uplift the world. Use your knowledge to make the world a better place. The possibilities that you have now are infinite. Have a great and purposeful life. Of course it's not going to be easy. Life isn't easy. But you are not easier to defeat either. Stay strong. Real strong. And whenever you feel like giving up, remember "you are a CEG'ian" and you are meant for bigger things in life. Having said all this, know that your fellow trees are also going to be standing tall either near you or somewhere else on this vast planet. They're not gonna go anywhere leaving you.

My dear juniors, we have got an opportunity which only a very few people in this world get. Let's use all that we have learnt for the betterment of the world. Today, this minute, let's trash the thought that life is difficult. No, not at all. Life is beautiful. Certain situations will be difficult, but remember, we are strong enough to face anything and everything. Keep in mind, we are CEG'ians then, now and forever. No end is an end until you decide to end it.

"Staying in a mom's womb is safe. You have stayed there for four years now. But you can't stay there forever. What you're gonna do after coming out of the womb is what gonna make your mom proud. Come out, make your mom proud. Make CEG proud".

With love,

A fellow CEGian,
