College Reunion!

We recently had our college reunion in Dubai with our local “Vivians” who attended from all batches.

Reunions are a form of time travel, when who we are now gets acquainted with who we were then.

It was a nostalgic evening which took us back to the carefree days filled with fun,tantrums and memories.

Everything about a college reunion is a reminder of privilege – of having a chance to attend it in the first place then explore and experiment.An opportunity to be foolish together and then periodically reunite to forgive and forget.

The older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.

It was a delight to watch couples who have stayed together since college,grown up together to become finer couples.

While conversing with a friend you discover that some advises you had given in the past to him\ her which you may have forgotten has turned out to be an unforgettable turning point for the person.

Sometimes it also happens that people who touched you most deeply have no memory of that chapter at all.

Hence Reunions are important as they help you rediscover yourself from an old lens.

And now about the evening –

We had an enthusiastic Reunion Organiser Sapna who along with couple of others planned,executed and ensured the evening gets etched in our memory and hearts for times to come.

We had a cool and enthusiastic EMCEE

Joe Mohan who had really done his homework well.He successfully kept us hooked together and engaged us all evening helping us reminisce our college days.

The nightingale of our college Saurabh Ail with his melodious voice uplifted the moods of each one present.His voice and choice of songs left us teary eyed.He touched our hearts the same way he did decades back.

We had a DJ to our disposal who maintained his smile throughout the evening catering to each one’s choice of songs on the dance floor.

How can I miss mentioning about the team games arranged by our Reunion organizing committee and of course the gifts that followed.

Parties are never complete without food and drinks.Lip smacking appetizers to unlimited booze and a huge variety of desserts.

Last but not the least each one was given a gift at the end of the event as a token of love and memory we carried as we walked out of the party hall.

There was a flow of mixed emotions towards the end and no one wanted to leave.The good byes lasted long,there were hugs and promises made to catch up soon again.

The party hall became home away from home for all of us.
