Dear Friends, here is the teaser from IET Lucknow Alumni Meet, 25th April, 2010, 13 BRD Mess, Palam technical Area, New Delhi.
This is another Monday morning in the office. A Monday morning after an overnight flight is taxing, except if the flight is a time travel to fond moments, peoples and places of past.
The much awaited evening came demure and grew into an enchantress, one that spellbound all those who chose to be there, counted and bound. One can well imagine how the morning would be!
“ज़ब रात हो ऐसी मतवाली फिर सुबह का आलम क्या होगा”
We coalesced our present, and also future, into our past yesterday, 25th April 2010 at the magnificent 13BRD mess, also Known as the Anurakshan Mess, with sprawling lawns, so sprawling that almost golf carts had to be put into service, to move people from on end to the other. It was a scene to behold to see IETians/IETenns with one hand glued to glass travelling long distance, far across the runway!
It was an evening in which emotions were as fluid as were the fluids. Or as mellifluous the voice of Mr. Sandeep Asthana, 1990 batch or the strings of flute played by little twinkling star of the night, Kartikeya (Son of Ms. Meenakshi Vashishth (Vatsa) 1988 batch), who compelled us all to mount the bow, with our hands spread a-flying, breeze caressing our hair (well, whatever remained, for the gentlemen of species) and the works. But, the big difference is that this ship was no Titanic, as it was under sharp and able supervision of a Veteran like a Wing Commander of Indian Air Force, who never misses a thing, least icebergs.
So we started flying from domestic airport, and then changed our train near Dwaraka to catch our Ship, before leavingfor home afloat in our cars. Things happened in between and we can’t really disclose all that, as binding those moments in words can never do justice to what all transpired during that quarter of the day and how.
For example, when Lt Col. RS Bhooomla along with his batch mates of 93 starts the jig of Sara Jamana and Mr. Rahul Shrivatstava starts his Amitabh Bachchanish routine! Or Mr. Saket Verma starts describing the secrets of nick names of 95 batch. Or Wg Cdr NS Dhanjal, 88/89 spills the beans that IET was originally named IIT! Or the recent batches 2007-2009 make their presence felt by turning up in a great number (still less than the other end, though) and supporting the participants representing the current batches in seeking guidance from super seniors. Or when IPL final became a regally ignored spectacle! Oh my, what am I doing!
Afraid that this privilege will remain with those 170 odd humans, who made it all happen, even if they had to drive 60 kilometers one way. Leaving Newton and his Ilk confounded, defying theories of gravitation, the more distant objects formed majority of the presence.
If you don’t believe all this, none of your fault. You will see and then believe. So please stand by while the glimpses get airborne (Photos, Video coming soon), that is in case we manage time out from pouring compliments from the very people who made the meet a rousing success and first of a kind – the ‘Biggest’ IET alumni meet to happen anywhere. Not only that, it will not remain so for long as a bigger line is sure going to be drawn in times to come soon.
Amen!

From the cockles of my heart, I congratulate to the organising committee for giving us an opportunity to relive those precious moments which we had during our IET days. It was very nostalgic to interact with saurabh tyagi, sanjay tyagi, sanjay bharadwaj, karki, pankaj katoch, shishir, pravir, naresh, vpn, neeti, hari om, ajay narain and the list is endless. The food, ambience and the complete arrangement was top class. Once again kudos to dhanjal, amita, sanjay yadav, rajiv tiwari and their team for arranging such a lovely evening.
Regards
Sandeep Asthana
