As the spring sprang its wings
In the month of August it brings
A new warmth and new hope
With a New Project under our Scope
It was on 13th August 200Seven,
That GPM kick started in GDIC heaven
It was a travel from one auto maker
To the worlds largest manufacturer
Shankar Narayanan, the new GPM Project Manager
Kick started his new project with a simple demeanor
An able leadership with 5 of us who were with him
At all times in work and tantrums gleam
Nandha, Anand, Mukesh, Uma and Karthik to begin
We had a very simple start to make it a real grin
Everything around was just started and new
Just like the freshness of the spring in M&Q
Joined with us Mali, Nishchal and Murali,
Bringing in the best from the industry
Cheer with Ajay, Shameem, Sriram, fresher's who stood by
And one ancestor of the project Sridhar Tiruvedula
As we took our first step to test the Release 3
We realized that we are having in hand a teak tree
Something that takes tremendous efforts to build
That's far more challenging than surfacing guild
More the challenges, it made us stronger
For in one name of GPM, we are committed to belong
Joined with us the new branches to spread
ETL, Cognos, Java & Oracles wings to defend
Lot of unpleasant history that made us learn
One thing was just in our minds to make it fun
Make the most of the project that demands
Our fullest attentions and unremitting willingness to work
Cognos took its head up with Varada joining us
Database started to strengthen with Nandha expertise
ETL had its par excellent leader in Murali
Karthik is simply the man behind the Architect valley
From a simple 6 to a larger team of 60plus
As we grew with our knowledge to emphasis
We had a bigger task in hand to accomplish
This was sure to demand more of time to relish
Challenges are high, so are our spirits never to die
Hard work is the only way to success and we do not deny
Selfless commitment is the way of life
And we have a bunch of people who agreed to stand by
Countless nights spent endlessly for our deadlines
At the end of every codedropp we used to relax with thoughts fine
That task is handled perfect and a feeling of a job well done
Though we know now we are in the final lap of the race to be done
The only time we would sleep from now on
Is the day we conclude the ongoing Release entrusted upon
For we do believe in the team that we are part of
That we stand by this Project for its Success to befall
