the first alumni meet of DPT ....
This function was organized by Molu Sir, Ani Sir and Shukla Sir....
I am indebted to them for inviting me to be a part of the Organizing team
Now let me take you to the venue of Lamhe
Meghu Sir with mike in his hands announces the lamp inaugaration and with it starts the final phase of Lamhe 2009
The background work had begun long back with a team of about 6 members tracking down the alumni of our prestigious institution..the lack of a well developed Alumni Cell gave them infinitely many troubles but their dedication overcame all those obstructions and they produced as if out of thin air the contacts the eminent alumni of DPT ..
Then Nitin, Hem and I were called to manage the frontstage work , after many surveys among the tent houses and various levels of Bargaining we hired one...
The tenthouse we hired screwed me on the day of the function..
they dint turn up at the venue to decorate it until it was just 15 minutes before the stipulated time
The auditorium work was less than satisfactory..!!!!!!!!
But all that had done was done and now Meghu Sir were standing with mike in his hand...
The event began in an unique style with the golden jubilarians themselves lighting the lamp.. marking the beginning of an alumni - student cooperation in the DPT
Shukla Sir's speech was a masterpiece..his lines " An alumni is incomplete without his alma matter and the alma matter is incomplete without its alumni " passed on the message of the purpose of this Alumni Meet
We arranged the dinner that day ...It was by god the best dinner party i had ever seen..(well maybe because i had aranged it ..lolz) That day i almost cried when Molu Sir hugged me and appreciated my work... that appreciation i share with my buddies Hem and Nitin who were equally if not more than involved in the organization of the dinner party
But still the thing that hurt us most was the lack of participation of Alumni...
only a meagre 7 alumni from the 67-68 batches were present
and none from 82-83
The next day saw the Lamhe in its true colour.. all the vibrant 82-83 -84 batch alumni of this prestigious instittution came back to their alma matter to pay it the respect it deserves
Each speaker's voice was filled with the happiness he had at being at his alma matter
Some speaker's emenated such powerful energy ..we felt proud we are a part of such a prestigious institution whose alumni are such enigmatic people
Their energy was unbounded...their style unimitable
Later on when we arranged an interaction session with the alumni for the current students ..
their enthusiasm to interact with us was so awe inspiring
Mr. Samba ..Mr Mukesh Kumar .. Mr.Dutta and the others were so active in advicing the students about how to go about their future..they lost track of time and sounded as if they were back in their own times... they were being as childish and funny as we are now..
with the tea the event ended..!!
Two days Of Lamhe ..left us with so many lamhes for us to cherish!!!!!
Once again I whole heartedly thank and appreciate Molu Sir, Ani Sir and Shukla Sir for their endeavour........
L.O.C. Rocks!!!!!!
