Change is the face of nature, Nothing remains the same, Including me, why, you wonder, I joined my friends here, Two years back this week, With a little apprehension, And a little tension, With too much worry about Online safety and effects I am here still, boisterously so Energetic to still be part of the community that has adopted me in various roles, As a friend and as a family, A podium for sharpening my wit, A place that pushes me ahead, Not giving me, a moment to look back, Now, life has a enhanced significance, Not that it wasn’t good earlier, Being able to be there for others, Has spruced up the train of life, Life's too short for yesterdays, It moves along too fast. I want to look forward , And what it has to offer, With the winds of change blowing, With a appeal that keeps me filled, With the same vigor to carry on, With the confidence that I have gained, I am the driver of my train With friends here joining me And leaving me at some point, But I am still happy you all are A part of my journey here. Thank you my friends for being there.

Dear Shanti Welcome back, with not just one but 2 posts to express your feeling to this wonderful site.:thumbsup Congrats Shanthi for completing 2 years in IL That was a beautiful poem on IL friends, you have expressed it so well, with so many up and downs but still this train goes on, some continue the journey and another few leave you somewhere in the middle but still there are some new ones who come and continue our journey and make so lively.
