Adieu

Writing this brings a lot of memories back to me…it was early in my first year when I heard of The English Club and that it was accepting new members at a meeting on the same day. I went to the meeting without expecting anything and came to know that the club had merely opened a year back and that it was looking for new minds to carry it further. It gave me an excellent opportunity to interact with people, specially my seniors at a time which looked inactive being the first year of engineering. The club gave me a very homely feeling and I felt as if I belonged somewhere even when being away from home. It gave me a platform where only the aptness of my thoughts mattered and not the seniority in the college. In no time I was sure that I am in it to stay…

As time went by, I took up different roles within the club; sometimes by choice and sometimes as needed by the club. There was no place for ego to step in because after all, we were a family. During the three years of my active involvement with the club I traversed from being a writer to the sponsorship head and the event manager for the club. The journey has made me grow both in terms of skills and as a person in general. Being the sponsorship head enabled me to interact with various companies’ officials and literally lure them for their sponsorship. It was like getting the money from the money minters themselves. The experience was highly enriching.

We have had our share of fights and the hang outs, the endless hours of work and then the TTMM parties (Tu Tera Main Mera), but in the end, the time I have spent with the club will remain with me forever. Last but not the least, I am really glad that the club is in the realm of such passionate and dedicated members who are both visionary and have it in them to bring their dreams to reality…So this is me Roopal Garg, signing off and wishing everyone at the club “all the best”…
