A TRIBUTE TO MEMORIES,
OF 4 YEARS IN THE GAVEL
FAMILY.

IT'S NOT A GOODBYE OR
AN END. ITS A BEGINNING
OF A NEW CHAPTER

THE END OF A BEAUTIFUL CHAPTER

Dear Gavelier,


In the grand scheme of things, our lives are but a drop of water in an ocean
of infinity. However, in the years you've been here, your presence and
influence in this club, in this family, has made ripples that turned into waves
whether you felt it or not.
During the time that you were here, the little conversations we've had, the
contributions and unspoken sacrifices you've made - whether they were big
or small, will be remembered long after you've left.
So, thank you for being a part of this journey, thank you for giving your best
to this club and it's legacy. We wish you the best of luck in all your future
endeavours! Hope to see you all again someday.

Udara! My co-compere. The
one who knows about all of
those backstage panic attack.
And the one who got jealous cz
L aiyya gave me more attention
to me than to you. He is still one
of my crushes BTW. Although I'm
elder to you, u have always
treated me as if I am small. And
you have called me a tubelight
like most of them out there have
done. Thanks for being a warm
person malli... And I value all of
your encouragement so much.
You are one of those ppl who
have confidence that I am
strong. And those things kept
me going during the recent
heartaches. You are honest.

❤️And that's a weapon! I like it!
