My dear students, colleagues from the faculty and administration, and everyone else who is and has been directly or indirectly associated with NUJS (including, definitely, the current and former honourable members of the managing bodies of the University), I have immense pleasure in being with you this afternoon on the completion of my term as the head of this upcoming institution. This afternoon, and for quite some time during the last several days, weeks and months, I have been taken over by the feeling of losing and leaving behind the love, affection and respect which you have so abundantly bestowed on me. I hope that in the hustle and bustle of life, from time to time you will connect me to your days at NUJS when I have been around, known or unknown to you. In any case, your smiling faces and good actions will keep coming back to me, giving me light and energy during my fading days. Therefore, let us not celebrate today as a day of parting or good bye but as a day of future creation, weaving together the threads of our stray thoughts and interactions into a beautiful tapestry that will give us the pleasure and satisfaction of having made the best of our time at NUJS…
