The one with "convocation"

After celebrating a very good independence day, I was expecting some bloopers during the convocation today to wrap up this week .. but to my surprise, looks like the "dress code" was not that bad after all :P ...

Though I was not a part of the convocation "directly" by receiving a degree (which btw was the same case last year), I did njoi the sighting of "flying caps" ... so, there we (dualites) were, in the audience section ..

It all started with breakfast in yukthaar where I actually decided to attend the convo.. though I wasnt interested in attending it, I decided to show up since I knew quite a many fellow juniors and had to wish them "all the best" and "congratulations" for one last time ( dunno when they will meet again in life ) ...

The degree awarding ceremony went the same old way and was wrapped up by 10:30 or so .. After meeting almost everyone I knew, I jumped back into my chair for the convo address ..

We had such a frustrating time with Dr. Raj reddy's speech .. gosh !! I doubt if it was audible beyond the first few rows .. We had absolutely no idea what we were clapping for !! ..

Dr. Kasturi Rangan gave the convocation address but it was such a disappointment .. ppl had absolutely no idea what he was talking about .. he went on with some text/literature which I doubt if anyone present there knew ..

So, here we are, done with yet another convocation .. The best part was ppl replacing the usual caps with "kanduva" and throwing them into the sky after they were declared graduated ( we never expected that :)) ) .. so, finally, congratulations to all the graduating students once again [:)] .. wish u all the best in life [:)] ..

P.S1: special congratulations to poori and abhi for gold medals :)

P.S2: yup .. 3 of the dualites made it to this convocation out of 65 :P ..

P.S3: hoping that mera number next year ayega :D ..

P.S4: love aaj kal - "mein kya hoon" is excellent ..

P.S5: Nice show by 1st years on independence day ..

P.S6: And the record of attending the function after "flag hoisting" still holds for 6 yrs in a row :D ..

P.S7: yeah .. Dravid back into the team :D ..
