On 17th April, 2011 PUMBA had a different charm altogether welcoming the Batch of 1991 on the occasion of Reminiscence, an ode to remember. A reunion, meant exclusively for the batch that completes 20 years of being an Alumnus of PUMBA. This year the batch of 1991 completed two decades and hence was a part of Reminiscence’91. Our aim was for them to relive their days in the university. The enthusiasm on meeting each other was there for all to witness.

An entire year has gone by since we stepped into the shoes of our seniors and took on the responsibilities of the Alumni Cell. It was a journey that will be cherished by each one of us for various reasons. Today it is time to pass on the baton to another team that is raring to go. We would like to thank all those who helped us in making our tasks a little bit easier while we were here and we hope that you will continue to help the new team in your own special way. Join us in welcoming THE ALUMNI CELL 2011-2012.... The heart of PUMBA!!!!!

Even at dusk, as nightfall stealthily approaches, everything is illuminated by the aura of Nostalgia. Missing someone gets easier every day because even though it's one day further from the last time you saw each other, it's one day closer to the next time you will.  

Two days later, you will once again be stepping into the hallways of PUMBA. It isn't what it used to be, it’s much more than a reunion this time... more than skits and dances, it’s an evening to revel in the ambience of a college fest.

It is that time of the year when the Alumni Cell is once more, buzzing with activity. The Chapter Meets are just around the corner and the anticipation is palpable. We have been joined by a fresh new team overflowing with enthusiasm, ideas and energy, thus infusing new life into the cell. The invitation calling has begun in full swing and about 300 odd calls are being made every day.

Last year we were delighted with the turnout at the Chapter Meets at the various cities and this year too we are looking forward to welcoming an even larger number of Alumni.

The reunion of the Batch of 1985 took place on 24th April 2010. It was a silver jubilee year for them and hence the event “Action Replay 2010”.

With bated breath we waited for the first of the alumnus to show up for the event that was exclusively hosted for the Batch of 1990 – REMINISCENCE. Slowly but surely they came. Our aim was for them to relive their days in the university and hence the point of gathering was chosen as the University Canteen. The enthusiasm on meeting each other was there for all to witness. They greeted each other with hugs and names that, only, they knew the significance of. Breakfast for a typical student here is the famous vada pav or poha and that is exactly what they feasted on. This was followed by a walk through the winding paths of the University all the way to the campus of PUMBA.

How many times do you wish to go back to the good old carefree days of your college going years??? It is the truth of life that once you leave those gates and enter the cut throat world,you have to work hard to achieve that, what you had dreamt of. In this milieu,often, you lose sight of those that were once your best buddies. However it isprecisely for this reason that we exist. We are here to ensure that the bond between friends always remains unbroken. With this in mind we present to you Reminiscence.

The Alumni Cell deeply mourns the sad demise of Mr. Melwin Mascarenhas (2006 alumnus) . We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends and join them in prayers during this traumatic phase. May his soul rest in peace.
