Sanidhya Mumbai
A kindred yearning soul once remarked, “I'd trade all my tomorrows for a
single yesterday”. But, on the 1st of June, 2013, when the alumni of XIMB
got together at Pritam-Da-Dhaba, Mumbai, they got to have their
yesterday, without having to pay any such penalty. Also gracing the
occasion, were a few new initiates, looking forward to their tomorrows,
yet to come. Despite the infamous Mumbai monsoon, an over whelming
150 alumni turned up to patronise the event. Some esteemed faculty
members, Prof.Saveeta Mohanty, Dr.Sasmit Patra, Ms.Reena
Ravichandran, Fr.Donald D'Silva and Fr.Paul Fernandes were there to
welcome our guests and their families.
The evening kicked off with the XIMB Silver Jubilee video – celebrating 26
years of XIMB, a journey down memory lane. This was followed by a brief
introduction to Sanidhya by Fr.Paul after which Dr.Patra took over. He
brought the alumni up to speed with the recent developments on the
Xavier University front and enumerated its countless benefits. Everyone
present, contributed whole heartedly with ideas and suggestions on the
way forward.
