With a wonderful journey of two
years coming to a glorious end for our seniors, it was time for us to bid adieu
to them. B School life would have been a heady mix of various challenges that
they finally overcame to reach this day. As they step out of college, their
minds would be clouded by apprehensions and wariness about the corporate world
and at the same time enthusiasm as to what life holds in store for them.
On a heavenly night, we gathered
to felicitate our seniors on the beautifully decorated rooftop of our college. The place was decked
up in pretty lights all over and the occasion was such that even the skies
cooperated and did not play spoilsport. The tiny IIFT badges that everybody had
pinned onto their dresses conveyed the silent message- “Proud to be an IIFTian,
now and forever”. On this day,
officially the last occasion on campus during their student life, various
professors reminisced their experiences with the outgoing batch-in the B School
tenure packed with assignments and cases, they too had their own moments to
cherish and remember throughout their lives. Excitement was in the air, as the
junior batch had chosen this occasion to felicitate our favourites among the
senior batch, a difficult task considering the number of nominations we
received. Ultimately, Haider Talat who was also the vice president of the
student body, IMF along with Vartika Goel bagged the “Man of the year” and the
“Woman of the year” awards. For always being a source of motivation and for
guiding and mentoring us throughout, Mohit Kumar and Gaurav Bajaj won the
“Kickass Club coordinator” and the “Best Mentor” awards respectively. The student body also used this platform to
felicitate each and every person who had contributed for the betterment of the
batch. A very touching rendering of the song “Pal” by the juniors bought in a
wave of nostalgia amongst our seniors.
Quite needless to say, what’s a
farewell without some pictures!! Flashes seemed to light up the night as
everybody posed endlessly for pictures, which are sure to end up as cover
pictures and DP’s.
Saying goodbye is always
difficult but there could have been no better night to wish our seniors a
bright and fun filled future!!
