“Bhai bol aaj kya peeyega?”, asked Rohan the moment I entered the Bar. I had arrived a little late from office because of the rigorous training I was going through in my newly joined IT firm. As I glanced, I saw that infamous lot of Derezio Hostel. There was Naveen who was also known as Sniper because he could take a headshot in Counter-Strike without even looking at the laptop screen. Sourav, the Bengali whose creative slangs were better than any of the stand-up comic acts of today. Nishit, our own slash and Rahul, the prolific footballing legend of our college. This was a sort of reunion of our core gang who have been scattered all over India for job locations. I had not felt this happy for a long time after we graduated.

I have a confession to make, and it is a serious one...
We were in IT hub of India to meet the class of 2020 for a Pre-MBA Social. They had a chat with top leaders in the field and their future recruiters from dream companies like Aditya Birla Group, Hindustan Unilever and Shell. The room was buzzing with nostalgic campus stories, stint and summer internship experiences and an informative Q&A session. The Konversations team brought in more fun with the 'Fachcha' quiz and an interactive guesstimate session. The day was complete with lunch, goodie bags with the YOBO handbook and T-shirts, and of course, ice cream (thanks, HUL). Here's a short video to sum up that power-packed day. Stay tuned for more.
