न हि ज्ञानेन सदृशं पवित्रमिह विद्यते।
ज्ञान के समान पवित्र इस संसार में कुछ नहीं है।।
There is nothing more pure in this world than knowledge(Gyana)
To take a walk down the corridors of nostalgia, Bharati College organized its Annual Alumni Meet on April 28, 2019. Over two hundred alumni attended the function who beamed with excitement to return to their Alma Mater. The Chief Guest of the occasion was Ms. Uma Singh, an alumna of the 1981 batch. Dr. Gunjan Kumar Jha, a noted Ghazal singer and Indian Classical Vocalist also graced the occasion with his presence as a special guest.
The Chief Guest addressed the gathering and gave the mantra of success in Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam words that “If you want to shine like a sun, first burn like a sun.” She emphasized on the importance of not only achieving success but also sustaining one’s success. Some of the alumnus then shared their experience and the interesting moments of their campus life with the audience. They also talked about their journey after bidding adieu to college life and how Bharati College helped them become independent thinkers and responsible citizens. The event also witnessed various song and dance performances by the current batch of students. The highlight of the event was an extremely soulful rendition of soothing Ghazals by Dr Gunjan Kumar Jha who left the audience mesmerised by his mellifluous voice that transported them into a different era and mood.
Honestly, when I got the admission in the college, I was appreciating and totally loving everything about it. As I began to attend the classes, I instantly fell in love with the kind, patient, knowledgeable and inspiring faculty. I also got myself enrolled in German language course and completed my advanced diploma in the same by the time I graduated (2016). I also participated in and also won some debates, quiz and elocution competitions while at Bharati.
Even then, by God's grace, my sheer persistence and most importantly my teachers' guidance and motivation, I secured the first rank - not in a semester or an annual exam, not only within the circumference of Bharati College, but I topped B.A. (English) examinations across Delhi University in the year 2016. The University honoured me with a gold medal for the same. I knew I had done well in the exams but I didn't imagine it to be so big! Bharati College made it happen. The faculty did. And the timeless support of librarians of course always need a mention.
About my life at Bharati College, I would just like to summarise in just one sentence - I had the best time of my life. You get to make good friends, you get the opportunity to groom yourself, you just get to know the real world out there. Personally I learned a lot.
At Bharati, I got to learn from the brightest minds, teachers here make your life easy by making you understand things in a very simple way. After graduating, I qualified IBPS and was selected in Syndicate Bank. Today I am working as an Assistant Manager in Canara Bank.
After completing my course in 2018, in the same year I got employed in one of most sought after firms of the world, namely, Ernst & Young (EY). It has been 2 years in the firm and I am working there as a Lead Associate.
