20 days to go...
The official and unofficial farewell, an excellent evening in the commercial plaza.
Very much like last year, we started a little later scheduled, at about 8 PM. We had an official farewell, with most of the batch turning up. I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank the faculty for being there. Yep, all four of them.
A half an hour included an interesting mock-awards distribution ceremony where I was nominated for something that sounded like "global" something something.. and I thankfully didn't win. I did believe I had much bigger (and more demeaning) prizes planned for the rest of the evening. Hence I was grateful to walk away empty handed.
After a forty minute formality, we moved off to a dinner, a mess special, devoid of non-vegetarian due to the Bird Flu scare. Three fourths of the mess was full, and another one fourth was rather empty. Needless to say, it was the faculty section.
We also had a sprinkling of Alumni who had come over for their company-preplacement talks, and so on. We ate like there was no tomorrow, and re-assembled at the commercial plaza for the post dinner, minus staff session of the awards distribution ceremony.
Sameer Bhatt, the guy doing the compereing, whom I have made prior mention to, in regard to excellent cricket match commentary, was outstanding. His references to a certain "Globina" and her "vertically integrated Class participation", where she would ask the question and answer it herself sometime later, were classics, and will be remembered for a long time.
Awards include the "Knocking on Heaven's door" award, the "I came, I saw, I gave up" award, "Best walk" award, "Best roomie" award, and so on.
Each award was followed by resounding applause, and most of the nominees were made to explain their stand, why they were there, and so on.
All in all, an unforgettable evening filled with bonding of the highest order.
Sikander Update: It is officially over. The Council sends a mail:
