For the decade I have spent at Somalwar School at Ramdaspeth, the thing that has dawned upon me in the hindsight is the privilege that I have had. The value system instated, the quality education imparted, the camaraderie and bonds which have stood the test of the time — all are the result of the days spent at this august institution. It is this relationship which tempts me to visit the corridors of the school every time I am in Nagpur. Thank you to all the teachers and mentors at the school who have played an important role in my life.
