It is amazing to see how some people can just turn your life around. Kodi wasn’t just a
school, it was more of s a test. It’s a test that will get you ready for the world outside our
little bubble. What I’ve understood through my journey is that Kodi is not a school filled
with students, its a school filled with stories. Stories about the graduated classes, stories
of how each individual ended up in Kodi and our everyday stories, basically “gossip”. As a part of 2020, I’m leaving
this school with a bunch of my own stories too, as an individual and as a class, after all, we did start a forest fire.
Anyways, Kodi has taught me lessons, lessons that I will remember for a lifetime. I have had my dark days, but I
have always had people on my side that could shine a light on them. I am thankful to all the people that have with
me since the beginning of this journey. I know that not all of them were on my side till the end, but it’s fine, that
is life but I’m thankful that they were there and that we shared some great amazing memories. I know that I’ve
made mistakes and hurt a few of you and I beg for forgiveness and I hope we get a chance ahead in life to fix what
we started. To those that I’ve had my differences with, you guys have been my role models and you have pushed
me to do better than I could and I’m grateful for that, you guys taught me things that I will never forget, for this I
thank you. My friends, My family and people that I loved, I hope we stay together for the rest of our lives and
share the bond that we created. To all of the staff that have helped transform me into the person I am today, I
will forever be grateful to you. I know that the school has dismissed the class of 2020 very abruptly due to the
unexpected circumstances but let me tell you this, nobody can dismiss that class of 2020, because we are not just
a physical body that will just leave Kodi forever, as I said before,
we are stories that will remain in Kodi forever. Kodi, I am ready to leave! But I’m not going to walk out of this
beautiful journey with tears and regret, rather I want to step out of the gates with all happy and joyful memories
that I have made.

Time really has a wonderful way of showing us what really matters. I had to pack four
and a half years worth of items and memories in a matter of a few hours. I was
overwhelmed. I guess this was what everyone meant by life is crazy, and I never
expected a virus to be the cause. But between the chaos of the people and the pure
drudgery school gave us, I lived my life here in bliss.
To my friends. I’ve seen you all at your worst and at your best & and you’ve seen me at
mine. I know that every memory I’ve shared with you all is something I will cherish
forever. Each and everyone of you taught me something & I promise I will forever love
you all for everything. This is for more memories and life outside of our comfort circle.
I can’t wait to see other shenanigans we’ll face. This is not a goodbye. You know who
you are. It’s been wild, love you all.
To my juniors, my Bhutanese Alus and my actual babies, Wang Wang, Rehan, Sener &
Rikzim. Please take care and I promise to cook you all a better meal someday. Take
care and have a better year than us. S/O
To my amazing coaches, baldy and godfather. Thank you irfs for your hair supply and
mr Ambrose for your support in my marriage :)). Miss Mini for your motherly care
towards your worst class. & MR SINHO the absolute legend. 2020 is not the same
without you and you were and still are a blessing to all of us. And of course my mother
at Kodai! Miss Ivy with your exquisite food. And to whoever’s at upper Boyer now, trust
me you’ll feel right at home. Love you Ivyster and sorry for all the troubles I’ve caused
you! Love all of you!
And dear class of 2020 If I say 2020 was bad, it would be an understatement. We all
went through hell. But I know we have so much in store for the world. If you know me,
you know I’d say the stupidest things all the time and I wouldn’t choose to say all that
in front of another batch. You guys added the comfort and chaos of home into kodi.
And even if I just become the girl who jumped in the pool screaming weird stuff, I’m
glad I got to know you. We deserved the graduation, the cheers, the trips and
everything else the most. Factually speaking. But here’s to the class of 2020, I love you
all.
Lastly, to my heart. We were always afraid of the future, and here we are now. Time
didn’t concur with us but we never took it for granted. Every second was spent to our
fullest. & it was surprising to see our hard built egos falling under the comfort we gave
each other. You were filled with compassion, care and kindness. & You showed me
that chivalry isn’t dead. You have my heart anephu. And promises are meant to be
kept so I’ll see you at home. Aanguania Akum.
And of course, Thank you to this hill, who’ll forever carry these memories buried deep
within the trees, fogs and crimson sunsets.
