As the days passed, the things also approached to their end, on the third-day invitations were distributed by the committee members to the seniors. The theme for the farewell was revealed and preparations made for the final night. The penultimate say saw the stage being set for the “Shaam-e-Mehfil”, for the senior batch as well as the junior batch to present their skills and talent. This Shaam came alive with beautiful performances being given by both the batches and included singing, dancing, reciting, and lots of mimicries, reliving past experiences and looking back with glee. Laughter echoed in the auditorium as the Mehfil was set. A special dinner courtesy the Hostel Committee made sure the bellies were just as elated as the hearts!
Finally, the day approached, when “Darbar” was decorated in its full glory to welcome the esteemed guests. The lights gleamed bright, the curtains swayed and the arrangements for “Jashn-e-Darbar” went live. As the guests of honour for the day walked the Red Carpet, escorted by a member of the junior batch in a tug, it was time for the shutterbugs to get busy and the cameras to get clicking! With the hall brimming with activity, the show got underway with a skit to look back into the highlights of the past year, drawing in droves of laughter and sparkling eyes. The show continued with groups of seniors being called on stage and given their personalised gifts, their two-year journey encapsulated in a frame. The show ended with a reminiscence of the days spent in this place surrounded by the Misty Mountains and the junior batch bidding their goodbyes to their magnanimous seniors/mentors.
On the whole experience of organising the farewell, Hitesh Bansal, a member of the committee says “It was one of the most special celebrations that I have been a part of, the whole organising committee is rejoicing after witnessing the cheerful expressions of their seniors. The ubiquitous merry ambience is more a result of emotional attachment that arises after realising the people for whom this all was done. Had their not been constant assistance from the whole batch, it would not have been possible”
At last, we would like to wish our seniors jovial life filled with amusement, success and pleasant moments ahead. Wishing them luck to succeed in all their endeavours. All that can be said is that we might not be together now, but Indominus* and Stentorian* will be together forever and ever.
