- To East and West of that fair Isle
Where the first Loreto stands,
Loreto's banner now doth fly in many distant lands
In sunny Spain,on Afric's strand
Under the southern Cross
And Westward Ho,where rainbow hued
Niagara's waters toss.
Chorus:
Loreto's banner gaily floats
In lands both East and West
Loreto's name each girl reveres.
And holds it ever blest. - But first Loreto found a home beneath our Indian skies
Where now o'er plain and mountain peak
The well loved banner flies
Loreto's standard bearers we
In girlhood's springtime gay,
O may we e'er be loyal and true
To the school friends of today - And when our school days ended are
And our varied paths divide,
Oh may the ideals of our youth
Still ever be our guide,
High ideals of purity,of duty and of truth
Learnt while we bore Loreto's flag
In the sunny days of youth.

Loreto Chorus

Did you ever know that you're my hero...
Today as we bid the Goddess Durga farewell and seek blessings of elders I would want to remember some people who have very prominently shaped my life. They have helped me realize my potential and have gifted me precious pearls at various stages of my life.
Sri Sri Ravishankar
Guruji's grace and the various courses of the Art of Living have helped me revive my enthusiasm and confidence - qualities that were very much a part of me in my childhood, but were stripped off me in my growing years for various reasons....
Sir Hira Prasad
There was a time when Maths was my phobia. I hated the subject. In exams I ended up making silly mistakes, and wasting unnecessary time on questions. Sir grilled me right from the basics - different ways of doing the same question, think before plunging on the solution, cross-check the answer. 2 summer months of surprise tests, lots of assignments, analysis...when I went back to school the hard work paid off. I not only shone in this subject but also developed a love....
Miss Jayati Ray Choudhury
My music teacher since I was 5 and stepped into the unknown realms of music - she taught me how to sing and identify the various notes, how to play the harmonium...It was tough for her - I did not even know how to write in hindi. Patience, perseverance..everything's paid off. Each note I sing today is dedicated to her.
Srinath Mani
I learnt the tricks of "smart working" from Srinath - one of my first managers in my professional life. He could gauge people very prudently and knew exactly how to motivate different people to get the maximum from his team. Something he told me that I will never forget - when you leave the company, people should not happily say 'bye bye', but rather realize what they are losing.'
Yes...I can fly higher than an eagle..you are the wind beneath my wings.
