Honorable Chief Guest, Respected Teachers,Dear Parents and Dear Friends.
2009 was the year when
I stepped into the silent valley-the Naish College and stepped out in the year
2012 from achievers hub-the Radiance College!! It was a much needed learning
curve for me. Coming from a small village and to lay my dream was the biggest
challenge I have ever faced. But thanks to almighty I got into the Naish College
and I had a nice bunch of friends. Last 4 years in Bangalore had significant
impact on me. Life at Naish and Radiance College taught me how to compete and
respect the wisdom. I met a lot of counterparts with millions of dreams. This
is the day where so called dreamers became achievers. The biggest strength of
all achievers were belief.
Defeated 8 times in
election, Abhram Lincon, became the greatest president ever.A man who was
denied of a teaching post, Albert Einstien, made syllabus to be taught.7th
child of poor African American couple, Micheal Jackson, became the superstar of
the millennium. A boy from the slum, Pele, became the king of football. The
ball boy in 1987 cricket world cup, Sachin Tendulker, became the god of cricket.
A black kid in the white dominance, boxer Muhammed Ali, became the champion of
champions. A Woman who worked in café, JK Rowling, wrote the sensational harry
potter. A man who was denied of artist post saying that he lacks creativity, Walt
Disney, created Micky Mouse. A man who can’t move, Stephen Hawking, all set to
travel to space. An untouchable, Dr. B.R Ambedkar, touched a billion hearts. A
common man, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, became the father of nation. Turned nothing
into a multibillion empire, Dhirubhai Ambani. A truck driver, James Cameroon, mesmerized
us with the movie avatar. A nun became the mother to all mankind, Mother
Theresa. A cancer survivor, lance Armstrong, became the cycling champion. A computer
programmer, Bill Gates, became the richest man in the world. A tribal boy, Nelson
Mandela, became the national hero.
They all were someone
just like us, until they believed that they can do more, they all had dreams
like us, but they dared to chase it down.
Who knows, may be after
some years Lalita will be known as the worlds highly paid company secretary,
Jaffer as the man who own largest pharmaceutical outlets in India, Reshmi Menon
as the girl who started the number 1 special school in India, Harmeet as the entrepreneur
who owns the largest specialized speech and hearing hospital in Asia, Stephen
as the youngest person who heads the marketing department of walmart, Sawood as
the youngest billionaire in the world, Florence as the girl who tipped Burka
Dutt to become the best media person, Lalit as the NRI business tycoon,
Sangeetha as the auditor general of India, Beula as the youngest computer programming
consultant in Microsoft, Najma as
the first Indian to head the American speech language hearing association and
Qamis as the mentor to IIM grads.
The distance between
dream and reality is “belief”. Legends are those who had belief. We are the
next legends. None of us regret that we didn’t get into the India’s top college
because we have the ability to compete with any of India’s top college. I openly
challenge. We proved it many times in many events. We are entrepreneurs , we
are the icons, we are the superstars, we are born to rule, we don’t need
conventional teaching methods because we are hungry for more, we don’t need
playground to practice to win games, but still we were the champion of
champions, we don’t need a launch pad, we don’t need huge infrastructure
neither need lectures from IIM or AIISH
nor need the spoon feeding but still we topped in university, we had Deeptis,
we have Shefalis, Shovas, Jayesh, Juliets, beulas to prove again and again. We
don’t need the strict rules and regulations because we are born disciplined, we
don’t need computers for analysis because we are the special breed who believe
in using brains and creating history, we are the one who going to be the next
legendary Lalitas, Sawoods, Sharnays, Reshmis, Sakshis, Harmeets, Ankits,
Shalinis. We don’t announce, world pronounce us. We are born, world-you better
be ready to face us because we are the students of the Naish and Radiance. I
hope everyone will chase down their dreams one day. May God bless us all.
Last but not least, I
would like to thank my Mom, who taught me how to be humble in life, Dad who
taught me how to survive, Grand dad who taught me how to respect, Teachers who
enriched me with knowledge and God who had given me opportunities. Moreover I
would like to thank everyone who tapped my shoulders, Ali, Haneef, Gaddafi,
Sawood, Qamis, Maahi, Jessi, Sonia, Lalita and rest of my friends. Like all
youngsters I do have idols in my life, firstly my uncle Dr.Khader Mangad, the
man with impeccable records in his life time, the living legend in our family
and inspirational teacher for the thousands of students, then my cousin
brothers, Shaan, who inspires me every fraction of a second and Jabi who taught
me how to live like a leader. I have absolutely no idea how to thank my
teachers, my parents, my idols, my friends. But trust me, you all will be proud
of me one day because I am the born leader who inspires people with action.
Thanks everyone and enjoy
the night!!
