Reunion at IIMB
PGP Batch of 1997 came together to celebrate 25 years of graduating from the institute
Reunions are very special, both for the members of the batch and for the institute that hosts them. Reunions are the one event where everyone shows up older and then grows young again. What is it about being on campus, surrounded by your friends, that causes time to stand still? A walk around campus, dining at the mess, or gatherings at Lsquare. There should be a way to bottle this!
