Invictus

OUT of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.


Remember! Remember! The fifth of November..... only 2 more days...

All you guys might be wondering whats this logo all about....
so here i explain the meaning of this logo to you....
The V of the logo signify how second year always thrive for victory....
and the greek goddess in between the V is 'NIKE' which personifies triumph.
And the latin words Vi veri veniversum vivus vici means "By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe".
