Seven Souls, One Heart

In laughter loud and stories deep,
Through secrets that we always keep,
Sucheta’s grace, Priya’s peace,
Seema’s vibe that’ll never cease.

Supriya’s sparkle, bold and bright,
Swapnali’s hugs that feel just right,
Shilpa’s jokes, the mood she lifts,
Anuja’s warmth, her silent gifts.

Together we stand, a perfect blend,
More than friends—we’re life’s godsend.
Through every storm, dance, or cheer,
Our friendship grows, year by year.
