I don’t know how many people I’ve met. Is that really “meeting” though I wonder? How much of each other did we recognize, what did we exchange and by ‘we’, what I mean essentially is me and the other, the vast majority. Then you have these functions that are orchestrated for our benefit - vast gatherings, with music and gyrations, with ‘frolic and fun’. On these days, everyone has their own games, the only difference is - some have rules, some don’t. You walk through the same people, over and over again. They have slightly dissimilar features, their faces morph a bit, their hairstyles transform, their costumes are different and their memories have been altered, but the people, they remain the same.
The 56th Convocation Ceremony will commence at 12:00 noon on 17th July 2010. The Chief Guest will be Union Minister of Human Resource Development Dr. Kapil Sibal.
The proceedings will be webcast live. To watch, visit http://www.iitkgp.ac.in/topfiles/convo_live.php at 12 noon today.
