Hari Om Swamiji,
Hope this email finds you well. An old friend of mine, Ashwath was at CIRS today and he sent us the campus pictures which got me super nostalgic. So I thought it would be nice to update you about my whereabouts and keep you informed in general.
This May, I graduated from SP JAIN School of Global Management, Australia with a Global Bachelors of Business Administration degree. I am currently pursuing my Post graduate Entrepreneurship degree at Lancaster University, UK. It has been approximately 6 years since I physically left CIRS but the values and principles that I learnt in CIRS will stay with me for a lifetime. I am and will always be extremely grateful to the CIRS family for the teachings, mentorship, and for bringing out the best in me. Thank you so much bhaiya, for moulding me as a student, and as a confident and responsible member of the global society.
I take immense pleasure and pride when I see CIRS excel at various fields. I will try my best to visit CIRS as soon as possible. The 6 years that I spent at CIRS were undoubtedly some of the best years of my life. CIRS will always have a special place at my heart. Kindly extend my gratitude to the rest of the CIRS family as well.
Please let me know if I can be of any help in the future. I would be more than happy to help.
Best Regards and Lots of Love,
Anuj Saraf, 1111, Class 5 to 10 (2006-2012)
Hari Om Bhaiya,
I hope this reaches you in time. This is the best money I've spent from my stipend.
Its not a lot but I hope it is of some use.
How are you? How is school? How are the morning classes? and aartis?
How's principal ma'am?
She was very kind, the last time I visited the school for alumini meet.
Also, had to share this with you. It feels so weird to be in the working class now. With work, comes so much responsibility. I get overworked every now and then. I can't even imagine pulling through a day without it getting to me.
But the entire CIRS family has done such a fine job in making us who we are today. Thank you so much for standing by us, when we were at our worst, rebellious teenagers.
Lots of love........Prachi Singh
