Rapping a Decade [Written on 10yrs completion by FIL in India]

Welcome u all, we’ve gotta story to tell,
‘bout last ten yrs we spent in FIL.
Now hang in there, this maybe long,
U better pay attention, coz u gotta sing along.

T.E.T.P.H.V,
it’s what we sowed in order to achieve.
Talent, Experience, Teamwork & Passion,
Happiness & Values; spread in different fashion.


F.I.D.E.L.I.T.Y.
F.I.D.E.L.I.T.Y.
We are the future & that is why.
We’re here to succeed, we’re here to create,
Clap ur hands y’all, 10yrs we celebrate.


Before we go ahead, lets rewind this back,
10 yrs ago with 20 ppl in tech.
Rattan was the man, who led the show,
& from then on, FIL started to grow.

In the next two yrs, FMR joined the club,
set Gurgaon-Bangalore as operations hub.
March ‘two thousand three’, created history,
Cus-tomerrr Ser-vices set a family tree.

Our sister came along, in 2004,
Telecom Company, her name is ‘COLT’.
In 2005, the year was a key,
1st Fid Fund launched, by AMC.

For a better future & double ur money,
Matching Grant came in handy for all of Thee.
The same yr India gave ISA a boost,
With Chennai joining forces, our problems got the boot.


F.I.D.E.L.I.T.Y.
F.I.D.E.L.I.T.Y.
We are the future & that is why.
We’re here to succeed, we’re here to create,
Clap ur hands y’all, 10yrs we celebrate.


And just when we thought, our numbers stood still,
In 2006, came Ins-ti-tu-tio-nal !!
Despite the recession, we bailed out in time,
We were more than 1000, in 2009 !!!

With Tiger’s launch, we entered the dragon,
Tunisia later, joined the band-wagon.
We surfed through the bull & sailed through the bear,
We held the fort without any fear.

Discovering new oceans, we wanted to explore,
we’ve got the courage, to leave sight of the shore.
We took the lead, never follow the trend,
its just the beginning and not the end.


F.I.D.E.L.I.T.Y.
F.I.D.E.L.I.T.Y.
We are the future & that is why.
We’re here to succeed, we’re here to create,
Clap ur hands y’all, 10yrs we celebrate.

F.I.D.E.L.I.T.Y.
F.I.D.E.L.I.T.Y.
We are the future & that is why.
We’re here to succeed, we’re here to create,
Clap ur hands y’all, 10yrs we celebrate.

3.1.6 - A Rap Song on our Cab Journey

Route UWA 3.1.6
to reach office for 11.30 shift.
with three funny blokes & a girl in a fix,
Sharing a giggle & playing cheeky tricks.

We’ve got a driver, his name is HAWA
He doesn’t reach late, Neva neva nevaaaa

First pick is Raina,
he’s called Sid
with him, oh Boy!
you neva wanna kid
He’s the Indian Batman sleeping really really late.
waking up at 9, with a “gud gud in his pate”
He boards the cab at quarter to ten,
that’s when the real cab journey begins.

CHORUS
Route UWA 3.1.6
to reach office for 11.30 shift
with three funny blokes & a girl in a fix.
Yo route UWA 3.1.6, 3.1.6,3.1.6
Its an experience u neva wanna miss.
Next thing to do, is to give ‘em calls !!!
everyone answers, but Sunny misses all.

AA is the girl, called Arti Anand
She’s the one who’s created all the gandh.
3 calls atleast, is what she needs.
Her first word is Sorry, when she speaks.

Cold Coffee in her hand, which is bound to drip,
“chabar chabar” she does, through out the trip !
Next is Gaurav Gambhir, always standing at the gate.
He takes the front seat, listening to 104.8.
When there’s a traffic jam, he gives it a boot.
Flashes his Air Force card, & takes the Cantt. Route.

After 10 mins of wait, there’s no sign of him.
We thought he’s punctual,
Oh, afterall he’s Sunny Singh.
This Sagarpur dude, always shows off his style.
distance from his house, is almost 1 mile.
All he’s got a smile to flash,
ask him for a treat, n he’s out of cash.

CHORUS

We zoom through the traffic on N.H 8,
with Hawa Singh on hot seat, taking care of our fate.

Reaching daily ontime, we’d say, Oh crap.
Cab masti all the time, leads us to make this ‘rap’.
