27th April, 2022
One of the hardest things to say in life is goodbye. Three years have passed and it’s time for the batch of 2022 to bid adieu to the college. To celebrate this moment, farewell was organized by the new union, Puja Bhuyan(President), Namrata Verma(General Secretary) and Abhishri Agarwal(Treasurer), of Journalism Department along with the first and the second years. Even though the student body was short of time, they pulled an amazing farewell for their seniors. The event was organized on the 27th of April at 12:30 pm at the Journalism Department’s gazebo.
Preparations for the farewell
The hosts, Ashmi Jain and Nandini Rikhee, set the farewell program into motion by inviting the seniors for a ramp walk. All of them were draped in sarees and it was absolutely a sight to behold. They were welcomed with red roses.
The ramp walk proved to be a hit and so was the song ‘The city of Stars’ sung by Apurva Gauri, a third year student remembering her college days. Followed by this Nishita Sinha and Deepshikha presented solo dance performances.

After the performances, the floor was opened for the faculty to deliver their message to the seniors. Ms. Suruchi Shirish Parikh and Ms. Pushpalatha expressed their happiness for the batch of 2022 and showered blessings on them for their future endeavors.
Ms. Sneha Bhati recited a poem ‘kabhi alvida na kehna’ along with her speech which touched every student’s heart. Ms. Violet Barman Deka started her speech on a light note by saying ‘how it’s easy to teach syllabus to students but very difficult to give a speech when her heart is already so full’. Dr. Vartika Nanda, the HOD, took over and delivered an inspiring speech for all the batches. She shared her experiences and also assured to guide them at every step further.
To lighten up the atmosphere, a game was organized for the seniors wherein they had to guess the Bollywood song from its English translation and all of them participated enthusiastically. Later on, a group dance was performed by first and second year students-Kriti, Ananya Nair, Riya, Anusha, Hema, Deepshika, Ishita Kisku, Aastha, Manisha and Nishita. They nailed the performance in such a way that the audience couldn’t resist themselves from dancing along.

The Game
The hosts invited seniors on to the stage to share their experiences or the moments that they cherished a lot from their college life. All of them opened up their hearts and spoke up. The former President of the department, Anushree Mukherjee, thanked all the people for making her college life a memorable one. Samridhi, another 3rd year student, became very emotional while saying how grateful she was to the college and the faculty for shaping her career and for making her more confident and braver. It was heartening that even the faculty and the audience were moved to tears. Some others shared how college turned into their home and how the department became a family to them. Few of them expressed their feelings through poems and songs. The seniors even took the blessings of the teachers so that they can move forward in their future with the same spirit.
The buzz around us was ramp walk, zero missed that event and were equally excited for the results. And it was quite demanding for scooping up the winner as each of them were looking outstanding in their own way. There were five awards in total. The first one was for the ‘The best dressed one’ which was awarded to Drishti Hajong, the second one was for the ‘The most elegant girl’ and it was given to Prakriti Bhanot, the third one was for ‘The best smile’ which was given to Soumya Rawat, the fourth one was ‘The most confident one’ which was won by Muskan Singh and the last award was the one with all the above-mentioned qualities and as expected Anushree Mukherjee was the ‘winner’.
Awards for ramp walk winners
A part of the event also included photo session for the seniors and many aesthetic pictures were clicked by Ananya Nair and Shivangi Joshi. The event came to an end with this and all of them had fun with music and dance. All we could say to the batch of 2022 is not a goodbye but a promise that we’ll see you later. It was a day filled with many emotions altogether and no wonder it has become one of the most memorable days in the journey of LSR.
A big shoutout to the Aesthetics team consisting of first year students - Anakha, Anusha, Ananya Sharma, Riya, Komal, Amani, Ishita kisku, Manisha, Stuti, Vaishali, Nishita, Ishita Bhalla and second year students for the decorations and last-minute arrangements that had to be done.
