In the midst of Nagpur hootting up, I had a lovely weekend- in Delhi, attending IMT Nagpur's alumni party at the Radisson. Delhi seemed like Shimla after the heat back home, and added to it was the large and enthusiastic gathering. Best part was the chance to meet a lot of different alumni one-on-one (some one-on-two, since they were accompanied by spouses)and have a chat about their progress in career, life, memories of their alma mater, and various things besides.
It was very well orgainsed by a team of current students, led by Sarah and Ankit, who are on their summer projects. Starting off with a short welcome speech, and a video of the happenings on campus, and ending with dinner. Lots of people stayed back till close to midnight, and enjoyed interacting with their batchmates and seniors/juniors.
New ideas for bonding with IMT were tossed about, and a few of these will surely be taken up and be implemented before we meet again. Alumni are a great source of strength for every institution, and keep the buzz going. Just a few months ago, I attended the 25th reunion of my batch at IIMB, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, like this one.
