For most it's three decades and more
They left the Research centre's shore

Going different ways in the world of yore
Following their destiny, leaving the core

Each a unique plant and flower to adore
But each with their roots on RC's shore

Gather, few were in touch but not lot more
Till Manijeh with her efforts tried once more

And Presto! We have old RC sWAG and more
In our mobiles and minds and hearts and more

Keen to know what friends' lives had in store
With legendary fire place and wine to pour

Let's come together and swagger some more
And try and rekindle friendship of RC of yore

Written when with friend and ex collegue Manijeh started the erstwhile research centre whatsapp group
