Jai Ho ISB Juniors!

While either of the parents was braving the pressures of academics and placements at the Indian School of Business (ISB), their little ones were trying to catch up with the peacocks and   dance with the monsoon frogs on the campus. On the eve of every Graduation Day, these little children are felicitated by the School. It is a small token of our affection shown towards these little ones, who by their sheer presence add a warmth factor to the ‘family friendly’ environment of the campus.

This year too, on the evening of the ISB Juniors Day, around 70 children, along with their proud parents, assembled at the newly inaugurated Amphitheatre. Filled with enthusiasm and excitement, these little ones stole the show dressed in their own graduation gowns and fairy frocks.

The evening saw a well thought of and an extremely entertaining programme – children recounting about what they loved best about the ISB, a Kashmiri dance put up by little girls, a fancy dress programme, and a choreographed dance performance on the recent hit “Jai Ho”. Around fifteen mothers with children less than three years old were on stage with their babies, doing an impromptu ball dance. The performances were greeted with applaud and cheer.

“I like the ISB because it makes my papa study more. And I’m also graduating with my papa. I’m going to Class 1 now,” prattled Dayatri, daughter of student Rohit Kapoor. “Everyday when I wake up in the morning, I see peacocks and when it rains I see frogs. The ISB is a lovely place and is the best place to stay,” said little Nandini, daughter of Tarun Agrawal trying to recollect her best memories. Dean Ajit Rangnekar while acknowledging the contribution of the little ones during a stressful year at the ISB, handed out mementos of appreciation to each of them and said, “The ISB spouses and children rock, and the Class of 2009 rocks.”
