The Sisters of Ganga Zuari

By Anil Bhattacharya

Within the walls of Ganga Zuari,
I met a circle of ladies, bright and free.
Some stood tall, some were small,
But a golden spirit touched them all.
With voices joined in a single bond,
Of "Hum Honge Kamyab" they sang so fond.
Their smiles were radiant, a glowing sight,
The Academy’s strength, its heart and light.
I asked them why they felt such pride,
With nothing to fear and nothing to hide.
A soft voice whispered, clear and true:
"We are the force that carries you."
"Without our hands, the work would stay still,
We provide the power, the heart, and the will."
I stood impressed by their hidden might,
Shining so steady, shining so bright.
They laughed and said, "Do not worry or fear,
Whenever you need us, we are right here."
So here is a wish for the years to come:
May Ganga Zuari always be their home.

About the Author

Anil Bhattacharya Born and raised in the heart of Delhi, Anil Bhattacharya spent decades navigating the corridors of power as a Group A officer selected through the UPSC. His distinguished career spanned roles such as Senior Regional Director and National Savings Commissioner (Director, NSI), where he engaged in high-stakes deliberations within the Department of Economic Affairs and reported directly to the Secretary, Ministry of Finance.

Yet, beyond the official dossiers and frequent visits to the Ministry, there lived the soul of a poet. Now settled amidst the tranquil landscapes of Goa, he has exchanged the rigors of economic policy for the gentle rhythms of nature. Symphony With Nature emerges as the culmination of a lifetime of quiet observation—a bridge between a remarkable career in public service and a deeply personal devotion to the natural world.
