Memories Came Alive –
DAV Alumni Meet
December 8, incidentally my birthday was the day of the
Alumni Meet, 2018 of the DAV College Jalandhar, my alma mater. I was, it was a
matter of pride me, hosted as the Guest of Honour at the prestigious day in the
centenary year of the college. It is a matter of great satisfaction that I
could meet and interact with many high profile and well placed alumni of the
esteemed College at the Meet. The memories came alive. The hockey
ground on the
main campus of the College where the interactive session was held reminded me
of my own Convocation – Graduation Ceremony in 1970 in which I received my
university degree from the then CM of Punjab, Justice Gurnam Singh. The guests
were hosted, mindfully, on piping hot Sambar Vada and other snacks on the cold
evening. Walking leisurely in the campus, we moved to the spacious Auditorium
of the College for the cultural interlude of dance and songs – accomplished
Kathak performance and Ghazal rendition by the DAV pool of talent. It was good
but could have been better. The Alumni Meet was concluded with a sumptuous
dinner, as always by the hospitality wing of the College. It was a rewarding
day – my first experience of such an event in the lap of my alma mater, DAV
College Jalandhar. Thanks to Principal S.K. Arora and Dr. P.K. Sharma, Dean of
the Alumni Association and other dedicated members of the faculty.
