A Farewell

Well, since I ended up missing my own farewell I went to the dept. farewell (it shall be called VALFI from now on), it was a staid affair at least for the time that I was there. I was told that the VALFIs at the hostels are a lot more important and interesting. On the plus side, I got to have vanilla ice-cream with gulab jamun, a nice combo indeed.

I hunted on the net for VALFI and found a blog with a couple of links to it ... seems to be a guy from IIT-B himself.

Seems to be a sentimental thing. Well I got to have my share of food, the profs. made lame speeches about making sure that they kept the IIT-B name aloft etc. ... well I guess I am calling them lame maybe some people were inspired, but hey this is a subjective thing not an activist blog (there are wayy too many of those in my opinion). Any ways ... an interesting experience if there ever was one. You could kind of tell that the sentimentality of the situation had gotten to some of the people if not all.

Some points to note
- Seems that these guy had their endsems at this time (well 16th is one exam I know that for sure), so they could have their farewell this late so should we...
- Instead of titles to some people, they have profile readings (these are written by and read by your own batch mates it seems) and this happens for every one. It is way better and more senti as it should be (it also lasts all night).


Thats all I guess, I am sure that people reading/not reading this may/may not find this interesting. Any ways till then.
