Its 10:00 am on a Friday morning. A refreshing wind surrounds the campus as the batch of 2023 enters for one last time. Saying goodbye is always hard but especially so, when it's to your alma mater, a place that transcended from being just a laptop screen to being synonymous with lush green gardens, famous red walls and friends for life; a place that became home.


On 28th April 2023, Department of Journalism, LSR hosted a farewell for its graduating batch of ‘23. Looking resplendent in elegant sarees and dresses, our super seniors visited the campus one final time as students. The event kicked off with a rampwalk to formally welcome all the seniors. An exciting balloon game, titled ‘Tere Mere Beech Main Kya Hai’ followed, with fun and laughter coloring the air as our seniors struggled to keep their balloons in place while dancing their hearts out. Performances by Mahi Adlakha, Kavya Vashisht and Surbhi Suman were some of the highlights for the day with Mahi performing a semi classical number and the latter reciting soulful poetry.

A fun game of who’s most likely to was orqanized by Shambhavi Sharma and Shreya Kela with our seniors enthusiastically calling out each other’s names to claim quirky titles including ‘Most Likely To Come to College in Pyjamas and ‘Most Likely to land on the NYT Bestseller’s List’. The final performance for the day was a dance medley performed by the enthusiastic first years on peppy numbers, leaving everyone cheering, clapping and grooving in their seats.


As the event came to a close, the faculty was invited on stage to say a few words to the graduating batch. Dr. Vartika Nanda (HOD) shared memorable insights on her time teaching the batch and also gave lessons for life, motivating them for all their future endeavours. Ms Sneha Bhati also took the stage to share her time and reminisced on how she would look forward to each day of teaching because of the insightful discussions that they would bring to each class. Post that, the stage was open to the seniors to share their experiences and their time at LSR. President of the Department, Puja Bhuyan spoke foremost on her time in the department and the union and how she made memories for life. Muskan Moirangtham, Yashna Dhuria and Meenakshi Yadav also shared their stories on their time as a batch that had seen it all, from online classes to hybrid teaching and gave insights on their momentous experiences.


The event concluded with the seniors donning their graduation caps and walking down the ramp, one final time to accept their scrolls and badges from the professors. The day left everyone teary eyed as they said their final goodbyes, but at the same time gave our seniors the best start to a new chapter in their lives.
