Convocation Day

9th July 2013 - Convocation Day 

Ready for the D-Day !

                      Finally the long anticipated convocation day is here. We all assemble well in time in the convocation hall of FRI main building knowing that this is soon going to be the defining moment of our lives.

 As the last Duty Officer, i do my part in ensuring that everyone is well in time and seated according to our roll numbers as instructed. The guests arrive and are seated and its showtime.

                      Mr Sonzalian IFS and controller of exams for our batch does the honours of announcing the results. First of all its our Abhijeet Joshi or our beloved Wood as he has come to be known. He scores honours marks. Then comes Amit Patodi followed by Arpiyush who also secures honour marks. Finally its my turn. My name is announced. i walk to the Dias, receive my diploma from the Chief Guest , shake Hands with the then Principal Mr Ashish Rawat sir and N Sonzalian and walk back with my diploma to my place. Soon the results are all announced with Sunny Verma a very beloved friend securing top honours and winning all the coveted awards .

                      Thereafter its photosession time with our then Course Director Nidhi Ma'em beaming all over as she poses proudly with her batch. She had taken over as course director after Mehra Sir had completed his term of deputation.

                    Thereafter, blazers fly in the air as graduating jubiliant offficer trainees and now full fledged Offficers celebrate the end of their training . End of two years of togetherness in the academy.Somehow  I am heavy in heart that two years of training ended so soon with I console myself that I have made many friends that will forever stay by my side .
