Amber Reunion –Batch of 1984

It is said that the best mirror in the world is an old friend. What makes BHUMAA special is

this effort of get together of such friends even after 35 years have passed by since they went

in different directions. Our batch of 1984 was taken on a beautiful journey of nostalgia when

they were reunited and felicitated on stage.

Emerald Reunion – Batch of 1994

The most unique things about reunions is how you meet the changed dear ones and realize

that deep down nothing has actually changed. Even after 25 years, the spirit of being 18

again got revived in the 1994 batch as they shared the old memories together with some

clippings from the past. The batch was reunited and felicitated on stage.

Sanskriti - The culturalevent

After the lunch break, the celerity was revived with brilliant performances of students.

The cultural event began with Saraswati Vanda followed by a Bharathanatyam

performance.

Sayontika Bhattacharya, Performing Bharatyanatyam

Recalling the old college days a poem was presented which was followed by a

melodious flute rendition and a rock performance which added all colors of different

cultures to the event.

Ankush presenting a song Abhishek cast a spell with his guitar

The next performance brought on stage the power of the modern day lady being an all-

rounder capable of protecting her dignity independently.

Group Dance by girls (Institute of Management Studies, Agri-Business)

Next came the euphonious performances that made the entire event brisk and

cheerful.And what added to the alacrity was a performance by alumni of batch 2013,

Mr. Baran Singh.

Nostalgia- a small word indeed but envelopes so many things at a time. It is a mystic cloud that

is often preferred over what is real to be honest. The next act brought at rail of memories as it

depicted the entire MBA journey.

Group Dance by boys

It is said that a poem begins in delight and ends in wisdom and when it is related to a

place where you have spent your joy, laughter and sorrow with friends, it makes it even

more idiosyncratic. The last performance of the day was a Rajasthani Folk dance on a

few famous songs of Bollywood.

Group Song by boys

“Life gives us brief moments with one another…but sometimes in those brief moments we get memories that last a lifetime.”

Such lively moments were added to the day with the filler events organized by the students

where the alumni took part with utmost enthusiasm.

And with this the long awaited day came to an end with the beginning of a journey

reinvigorating the old bonds.
