IIIT's first alumni meet a great success!

That was 24th December, Chirstamas eve and sure some 60 odd IIIT-Hyderabad alumni members would have something to blog about the day, though not about Santa's await but about the eventful Alumni Meet. And here is my effort. Well perceptions might differ as is the case here too that some felt the event could have been organized in the institute itself so as to have a 'focussed' get-together. Well, this is the first ever alum meet and couldn't be imagined anything to be so heavy. Those who thought it to be just another freak out day without any use and decided to stay away, they were surely mistaken. Inspite of all the fun filled ambience at the venue, the main purpose of alumni meeting still was given due importance and the truly interested got a chance to know how the alum initiatives are directed, what is the scope that as an alumnus he/she can do and more than all, the sense of alumni as a united body is seeded. And it is needless to say that everyone present enjoyed either the Karting(4laps in such a short track is sth to complain, but at Rs.75 I think thats at least OK) or the 'Living Dead' and 'Rain Forest' ambiences (if you didn't go alone then you don't have a reason to complain). Dinner was simple but amidst discussions with long seen friends it sure felt great, just that there should have been less bones and more meat in chicken (hehe!). I should commend Chaitanya Kamisetty for the wonderful job she did all throughout. All in all, the meet was a great success. And to those who lived the day 100%, without even missing morning sports (volleyball and basketball) the day should have been awesome. I, for one, re-lived those good old days at IIIT-Hyderabad playing volleyball and basketball not to mention that I wasn't able to walk owing to my muscle aches all over the body for the hell lot of exercise I had after 18months break ;p.
