Following is an email sent by 'Killer', an IIML alumnus from the class of 93 to his batch-mates 2 years back.... As he recounts the experience of the first Manfest visit after passing out (something which we will soon go for later this month), he explains how it became a ritual for all IIM L'ites to sing the 'anthem' year after year, each Manfest. No more globe from me.... now just read the mail below:
Hi,
Wishing you a Healthy and Peaceful 2008.
A few years ago, actually 1994 to be precise, we had all gone for our 1st Manfest (after passing out). Can still feel that warm chai on the Jhansi platform that chilly night as we waited for Pushpak (We went from Hyd). Banging on the compartment doors shouting - Gajju...Boka...
New to the Corpo world and with the dawned realization that we have been humped for life n why Life in L was the best time of our life, proceeded to have as much fun as possible.
The alumni team put entries in all events and got into the finals of each one of 'em!! Well, it was Hindi Group Vocals and all of us ran onto the stage and so it happened..PYAAR HUME.......
Sam Singh Bedi was 'divine' on the Drums and very soon, we had Bhaskar n Prabhat n Dingy n Shady n Shan n hazaar PGPs on the stage as well..Can still feel the whole group hugging n the song never seemed to end !!!and how the other insti teams were zapped with the uproar of I I ML....I I ML...after the song..
After that, at every Manfest, it's been a ritual for Alumni to sing the anthem with full josh!! and the enthuest amongs the PGPs joining as well.
One particular Manfest I remember was when Manju had joined as the alumni crowd and led the singing.
So for every alumnus who is FORTUNATE to make it to Manfest - Do sing this song with ur heart n soul on the stage..
Will miss Manfest but U can be sure will be singing pyaar hame out here..
Wishing you a Healthy 2008 and a Fantabulous one if U can make it to Manfest....
I I ML...I I ML.....I I ML........
Killer
91-93
