Convocation Ceremony

The convovation ceremony for the PGs that graduated in may this year just got over. mukesh ambani was there, so was Kapil Sibal, Sam Pitroda and many others from Stanford and IIT. they tell me twas live on Aaj Tak, and its already on rediff news. the star news crew was also there. the way i have seen it in the movies, i am to believe that the convocation ceremony is a very memorable event. and there is a degree of nostalgia about it. there is tradition to it. and theres fun into it. now nostalgia would have been there even if twas a gathering wothout the convocation event. i aint see any tradition as our college is 3 years old. i aint even think there was any effort in putting into a practice that could in the future be called a traditon unique to our own college. and there was definitely not any fun to it. everything was so formal. it was hardly a half hour thing. and there were some snacks(the cheese sandwich was good). ambani gave his usual speech and talked about how twas his fathers dream and how that dream/vision is visible in our college. Mr. sibal put forward some intresting quotes wrt to leadership and knowledge. would have luved to hear mr. pitroda talk again. but the wait was in vain. hes already spoken to us more than twice or thrice. my only hope is that i aint have the same to say after ia ttend my own convocation
