Valediction

Good Afternoon.
A warm welcome to every unique soul in this wonderful gathering. We hail from different soils but our purpose and our journey of life remains none the less the same. It was quite a thrilling adventure to mingle and socialize ourselves with each other with different perspective and personality.

Four years ago we all met with a shy hi and now we all stand here together with big curves of smiles across our faces.Those days we shared with heartful laughters and cheerful moments will be always remembered and cherished.



First year was as if the starting of our schooling life,  often dumbfounded and confused with our alien subjects and staffs. It was something that we had to keep in touch to get accostumed to the situation. Those dissections we performed,  the skulls we examined,  the unending topics of vessels and muscles, the physiological and biochemical aspect of our life, was all about getting to know about our own body.We also became a good craftsman by carving the teeth out of wax blocks. Everyone was sincere and hardworking then. And those regular faints of someone during our classes used to often scare us and make us curious to find out why he or she fell down.

Then second year comes to the scene with instillation of dentistry into our minds.It dealt with the arrangement of teeth which made us to make fun of each others' abnormal alignment of dentition in our oral cavity.Your canine is very prominent , your central incisors are flared,  your gummy smile is weird,  your mouth smells like shit.It was those funny remarks we threw at each other. We all wondered why we had to make a cavity into plaster casts and typhos, it felt like playing a game of mining. But all in all we were guided to follow our career in becoming a dentist.

Then the most carefree days were the third year during which we used to get opportunities to skip our classes and get free times to watch movies, to go around and to relax ourselves. It showed us to deal with pathological aspects of life, the surgical and medical management of each diseases, which we all had to read on our own. Most of the time the lecture hall remained empty and closed,  the books remained closed and our eyes remained closed with a deep sleep. It was indeed a heavenly year for most of us turning us into a lazy soul.

Then final year fell thunderously and often gave us nightmares. It used to steal our peaceful sleeps away, physically and mentally torturing us. The record completion,clinical quotas, and internals would always keep us busy. And we used to go looking for patients in a patient draught region. Begging and bribing was the strategy to win them.It was like all of us fishing in a pond waiting to catch one of our own.

After all this struggles we faced and all the paths we travelled, today we can have the great sense of pride and happiness filling our heart. Everything happens at the right time so we should keep trying,  keep going,  and prove our worth. Have faith in yourself, have faith in god.

When we grow old don't regret by wishing if you could have done it.Rather try to reminisce the magical events you did and keep smiling. Your life is what you make out of it.

Here, every one is special ,  everyone have dreams,  everyone is unique.The rich diversity of minds are gathered all here today. It's our career that brought us closer and together.

Goodbyes are never the end but it's the begining of a new journey.
Goodbye is an another way of saying that we will meet again.
Goodbyes doesn't mean permanent separation.
Goodbyes are never easy but always remember that goodbyes are for wishing you a good life ahead.

It was our privilege to get to know each other and share the same dreams. We look forward to hearing from each other soon, and who knows If possible we may meet again.I will miss this moment and I will miss all of you.
Thank you for the opportunity to start this valedictory function. Thank you for your patience for listening.
Cheers for our batch and have a wonderful day.

Thank you.(30-4-17)
