AGM mein

 

Imagine a big hall full of people, some sitting on the beautifully constructed podium and other in posh chairs. Imagine yourself sitting with friends listening to the not-so-interesting lectures and clapping at recipients of awards and then you hear  your name being called. After  a while when u finally realize its  you only they are announcing and you move forward to the podium to get your degree , the DJ sound increasingly resonating with the claps that propel you towards the podium. you somewhat  dazzled, but brimming with pride accept the prize. And imagine getting the degree from the face of Indian aeronautics, and being congratulated by him and clapped by a hall full of people some very  eminent  personalities of our time. And imagine yourself wishing so hard at that very moment that your parents were there and see their son's moment of achievement... Well if  you haven't  gone to the AGM this time  you  have  the missed this exact feeling...... and  you can just now imagine, as told to me by  my roommate  who was there at the scene of action.


I can't possible recount the things that happened there but then from what I heard and from what I have felt while talking to friends who went there, each of them have enjoyed and  had a great  time.  Of course as with any big  functions there are bound to be some small glitches like a friend of  mine lost the very thing  he  went there to collect, his degree certificate and one lost 1000 bucks,  but  hey as  shah rukh khan said "bade bade sharaoo  mein asccci  chhoti choti  baate  hoti rehti hai! " and having said i hope and wish that they will recover the  things!! 


Anyway  some of the good things that people liked was that the degrees were awarded  not  behind close doors  as I  and  I  guess you  also  have heard from so many of our seniors, this  time it was in open and  in full ovations.....  I  admit there were no  black gown and black caps to swing up for that Kodak moment  but  hey  the jester of getting the degrees  in a ovation was  worth any  gown, and  I  am sure anyone who  has gone there and received the degree will surely  agree.

Another thing was that this  time degrees were awarded and they were given in a file folder to hold it.  This was the first time this has happened, in my knowledge.

Many members of this very club have visited the place, I hope people will share their experiences with us and let us know firsthand what they loved and hated about it. (of course that includes the vodkas, teas, juices and snacks!! And I heard from someone the tea was third class)  And  for all those graduating next,  my  friend and roommate  has  one  resounding thing to say 'go ahead, don't  miss it for your life and be sure I'll there next time among the one clapping  for you!''
