The 16th of October, 2007
It
seemed such a huge task to get everyone together. Moreover, we were lost in
touch with most of our seniors; we didn’t know many of the juniors. By the time
we were pondering over these ‘impossibilities’ – Arindam and Ashwinida, another
highly excited, devoted aspirant, were defiantly ready with their battalion of
enthusiasts-Ayanda, Sabyasachida, Rohit, Kunduda, Vivekda, Arpanda, Indranil,
Tapobrata, Indradeep, Saborno… I gave up. So did all who were apprehensive. In the early days I remember how we missed
our Head Sir. We still do. He had always wanted us to have a community, our own
alumni and would often talk of Re-union. WE just wish if only he could be with
us… |  |

We had our first meeting… and then series
of meetings followed. We had our name ‘VIBGYOR’. And we were ‘we’ again. I
remember those long sultry afternoons we spent on steaming debates, ending up
with a whole lot of crazy, interesting and exiting ideas. Of course, all of us
used to feel like Alice in Wonderland at times! To conceive something so great
in scope, then carrying it out the way we want it to be… seems simple but isn’t
so. We were starting from scratch. But then we had the immense support and
encouragement of our dear Rector Sir, our Aunties, Sirs, Rabikaku, Krishnakaku
and of courses our senior dada-didis, classmates and juniors. VIBGYOR had
already stated its magic… |
we got calls and males from curious juniors, we
hadn’t seen. Seniors, who had long been obscure, peered out to reach us. Our
teachers were eager. The response was huge. And now, nothing can stop us from
having our first re-union. Well, the rest… is history.
