Great is the art of beginning a new life, but greater is the art of moving forward for new avenues of life while cherishing the past.

The key highlight of the musical night was Mr. Amrish Mishra, the singer with the gift of a melodious and heavenly voice lightened up the environment with the popular ghazal by Late Mr. Jagjit Singh- Hoshwalon Ko Khabar Kya, his music was enjoyed by one and all, nobody could stop tapping their feet and murmuring the music under their voices, as we say music is the source of words to unheard and unspoken thoughts, this bond tends to bring people close.

The connection could have been felt in the air, this event cannot be said to have come to an end with the musical night but it gave birth to new relationships and a refreshment to the old ones, reasons to connect to old books left somewhere down the memory lane, a chance to live the same life left behind, to give another laugh to the old pranks, to make the bonds more stronger. The event saw a gathering of more than 1100 alumni belonging to Management, Computer Science, Law, Pharmacy and Engineering.
