A TOAST TO OUR GURUS


Date: 5 September 2018

Venue: Block II, Panel Room

Time: 3-4 P.M.


Teachers’ Day, a day to commemorate the mentors who have bestowed knowledge, in its purest sense upon us, was celebrated with sheer frolic by the Department of International Studies and History. The afternoon saw a series of convivial events and anecdotes by the students as well as the teachers. After welcoming the teachers from the Department of International Studies and History and the Department of Law via tokens of appreciation offered by the students of 1 and 3 MAIS, the students were addressed by Father Jose C.C, Dr. Madhumati Deshpande, Dr. Vagishwari and Dr. Joshy Paul. They shared their own experiences and the essence of this day in their lives. This was followed by a sublime dance performance by the students of 1MAIS, which captivated the audience, especially the teachers who hooted for a “once more”!

The cherry on top of this event was enjoyed, literally, by the teachers via the cake-cutting ceremony.  A number of students from both the semesters shared and reminisced the splendid time spent with the mentors in guiding them through thicks and thins, not just in the academic arena but in various other domains as well. The students articulated their thoughts into memoirs of appreciation for the teachers, who, as pillars of strength, have stood by each and every one of them in times of need. Following such heart-warming anecdotes, the teachers got their grooves on, to the tunes of Bollywood.

The stirring afternoon turned to be euphoric, not just due the efforts put in by the students of the department, but a reciprocal admiration by the gurus who strengthen the cord of affinity, with each passing day, by their accessible and congenial nature. The toast was exceptionally raised to the mentors who have played a huge role in shaping the students in what and who they are today.
