I conclude with a short poem by our great writer Rabindranath Tagore Ji:

Where words come out from the depth of truth;

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;

Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

Let us rise above all the lies, negativity, discouragement, distress, discomfort to be who we were created to fulfil.
