It was six years ago that I had hung up my boots
But it is finally today that I hang up my suits.

After 39 years of
Service to the nation,
I finally retire
on my superannuation.

Various corners of the world
I've had an opportunity to travel.

With many leaders and royalty
I had the privilege to revel.

Have served with the Brass,
Diplomats, Babus and snoops,

But the fondest memories I have
is of serving with the troops

To continue to serve There were requests and  lure,

But the urge to follow my heart was even more.

There's got to be a distance
Between office and the grave

That this journey be beautiful,
Is all that I crave.

I Enjoyed each day & leave With memories galore.

Made some great friends &
Glad that best of them are on Bamboodoor

Before Signing off,
I would like to pay tribute.

Support of my family and the valour of Indian soldier I salute.
