Over 200 Alumni Relived their Two years at Samaagam 2017
Rewind
and Relive: Down the Memory Lane
“Remember that the most valuable
antiques are dear old friends.”
Symbiosis Institute of Business Management,
Bengaluru hosted the 8th edition of Samaagam 2017, the Annual Alumni
Meet where alumni from all the eight previous batches came back to the
institution to walk down the path which once prepared them to walk out
fearlessly to face the world. The event was held this
Saturday, 9th of September 2017. The theme for this year’s Samaagam
was ‘Rewind,
Relive’ and over 213 alumni took time out of
their busy schedules to visit their Alma Mater – SIBM Bengaluru.
This year, for the
very first time, the cultural clubs of SIBM-B (Jzaa – The Dramatics Club, Saaz
– The Music Club and Jhankaar – The Dance Club, along with Hippocampus – The
Creatives Club) came together for ‘Project-X’ – a musical play where the three
forms of art amalgamated into one magnificently structured play making it
indelible in the minds of the alumni. The
name of the play was ‘Raavi Paar: Destiny always catches up’. Also, the Music Club of SIBMB – Saaz performed a variety of songs receiving a
standing ovation from the alumni. From A R Rahman to Adele, from desi rock to
Queens, our students mesmerized the alumni with a sensational performance. If
our musicians set fire to rain, The
Dance club of SIBMB – Jhankaar set the stage on fire with a mix of traditional
and western group performances with tracks which surely took the alumni through
the memory lane. From cultural activities to fun games, from dinner to DJ
night, the alumni showed active participation and thoroughly enjoyed it all.
All of that made them reminisce their time at SIBM Bengaluru.
This year’s Samaagam will be etched in the memories of the alumni for
years to come and definitely has paved the way for many more such sweet
memories in the future. The alumni experienced both nostalgia and the longing
for some more of the two great years that lasted during their time here. More
importantly, it gave them a wonderful night to remember for rest of their
lives.
