College reunions are strange. They take you back to a time where you used to think what you want to be from what you are now. In my recent visit to Delhi, I attended our college reunion from where I had completed my MBA. Now it is counted as one of the top ranked MBA colleges in Delhi, and it was a proud moment to enter the premises of my colleges after quite a few years!
I realized that reunions are like time machines which take you back in time and also bring you back to reality. I did not expect so many of our batch mates would turn up, I guess everyone wanted to catch up with each other and re-kindle those crazy MBA days for a few hours. The IILM campus now looks even better with increased space and better infrastructure from what we had in our time. “Lucky are the present students!” We all discussed amongst ourselves. The initial time flew by just saying hello to so many people who we have not been in touch with. Then, noticing their drastic change in looks and appearance. Some were showing the early signs of ageing while some have had a total make over.
Everyone asked what are they doing these days, some even found prospective business partners! Most of them married and engaged, the priorities of most people have taken a different turn. Nostalgia had engulfed all of us even with different realities. Strange, once we all had one goal in life: to successfully complete our MBA program. Now we have so many more! It was a great time meeting those people of our lives who we were with, when we were still struggling to become someone. The best thing to realize is, even when you become that ‘someone’ some relations and feelings do not change.
