The long wait was finally over and we met again on the second Sunday of December.
Every year, we have this Post Graduate Alumni Meet scheduled on the second Sunday of December to reconnect with friends from more than three decades, to share life updates in a nostalgic environment inside the University, offering a chance to relive our memories. We have a whatsapp group through which everyone is connected and this year there was a lot of excitement before the event, to increase the presence. Many people come from far distance and friends staying locally offered all kinds of assistance to ensure their smooth journey.
The event started with a silent prayer to pay tribute to one of our friend who passed recently. We have come to an age where life's reality takes precedence over our qualification, achievements and who can understand that better than our friends!! So let me present you some nostalgic moments of the day :
To enjoy the moments to the fullest, this time the organizers outsourced the food to a reputed caterer, ensuring to serve some delicious foods and here was the menu :
▶️STARTER
- Paneer 65 (Pakoda)
- Kobi Pakoda
- Chicken Majestic
- Fish Cutlets
- Corn Fritters (American)
- Soup
▶️ MAIN COURSE ITEMS
- Muttor Rice
- Roti
- Dal Fry
- Mushroom Masala
- Odia Ghanta
- Tomato Dates Khata
- Mutton Desi Style (With Potatoes)
- Fish Besara
- Salad
- Pampada
- Gulab Jamun
- Ice Cream
After all, good food is the most important part of the celebration. So after eating the starters, the real fun began with everyone joining the floor to dance together for more than two hours. These are the moments that makes us lively again, by relieving us from our day-to-day stress and freezing them in our memory to join again next year. I have lot of videos captured, which I will have to compile and present, but here is a short trailer :
And here are some of our final memoirs from the late lunch and before departure :
Presence of our department this year was better.
And we pledged to meet again.......the value of friendship is best understood by the Generation X and this year I took my son to the meet, to handle the photography, allowing me more time with friends.
He was very excited to see the close bonding between us and was telling me - how privileged you are to have such a nice friend circle, probably they will never have this kind of meet after 30 years, even with few of their friends. He has captured more than 25 GB of video, which I will have to compile and convert to another golden memoir, more to come on that...

thats really sound amazing, friends together after ages, it seems that you had great time with friends. Old friendship is always like a Strong Bond....
And the best asset of our life.
Yup bro 👍🏻
It must have really been a very wonderful meeting with this guys. Moments like these are always treasured
It's another year for all of you. I used to see this kind of reunion you have every year.
Your batch seems so close to each other. Have fun!
Wow. This looks great! All the memories to recall. Beautiful.
It's wonderful that they can have the opportunity to share, even if it's just once a year; longtime friends, plus great photos that show their joy and smiles, and bring back memories of their younger days.
Good food and friends are the best things in life. I hope you can continue sharing many more years together. The fun they had dancing was incredible; they all had such a great time together, just like the big family they are.
What a great gathering! It looks like everyone had a really good time. I think unless you were in a fraternity or sorority they don't do reunions like this for post graduate stuff in the US. I could be wrong though. I only have my bachelors degree.
Fortunately, we have been able to keep in touch for more than three decades and it's all initiated by some of us.
It's cool that you still gather and it seems like a very fun event! Here it's rare to meet after university, life spreads away
