An emotional touch finally wrapped the session with Neha singing in the beautiful voice ‘Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna’ that touched the depths of hearts. Every heart throbbed with the beats of the song. Every heart cried, every eye teared and every face had this depiction: the school which had nurtured them for ten long years – they were sure to miss it, terribly miss it all.
Passing the candle and celebrating with the cake were the last of the events that witnessed emotional accounts from every corner of the hall; guests leaving teary eyed, teachers and students hugging each other and the juniors seeing the reflection in the eyes of their seniors of what they were going to encounter a year later on the same platform.
