Unity in Diversity
 The bonds that bind




        SAM
  Student Alumni Meet
The story begins when totally divergent and
dissimilar entities - we’ll call them atoms who by
 a special screening process – JEE! entered the
haloed portals of IIT Bombay (Indian Institute
          of tension… Oops! Technology!)
These young hopeful atoms scared of ragging
I’m sure, unconsciously began interacting with
                 each other.
There was safety in numbers they
           thought...
…Lets face the music together!
So the bonding began.
 Two or three of the
  atoms got together
and formed a molecule
and then the molecules
   got together and
     formed bigger
       molecules.
…But The final product was still in a nascent
                 baby phase.
Surprise quizzes, relative grading, SPI, CPI,
Engineering drawing, wood & metal workshops,
   labs – these atoms bumped into them all.
…Other bonding opportunities
               Cultural…
dramatics        literary             art




elocution      photography        music
Sporty encounters…

                 football       Javelin




Weight lifting
At meal times…
Aha… bird watching!
Interesting bonding sighted
Temperature
                 rising!



                        Who unplugged me?



Aha! I got the cat
   into the bag!
Back to reality
         Many doubts did arise…

               upwards?      Downwards?
Where are we
   going?




       Sideways but straight?
                Unsteadily upwards?
Philosophical questions still nagged
  Are we just cogs in the academic machine
         churning out iit degrees?
                            Then graduation




Hurrah! I got the degree!
My bags are packed
                 But which way to go?
Home?




        Abroad?
And so the students pursued
their individual goals and soon
became Alumni of IITB……………
 BU T i n t i m e , t h ey r e t u r n e d o n c e
  A g a i n to t h e i r A l m a M at e r … .
….And began to interact & share their
    experiences with the present students on
                      campus.
 A strange phenomenon began to unfold….due to
         these interesting student-alumni
interactions…..Planck by quantum planck (nothing
 constant about this!)……..cricks in inner, mental
             walls began to appear…..
And the inner walls of Diversity came crashing
  down and Unity, the new cement that really
 binds people heart, mind and soul emerged
    from this admixture of diverse debris.
Voila! The final product had quietly emerged
– the intangible yet concrete
        cement of Unity……..




    cryptically classified….
