2005 MBBS BATCH

The farewell to the UG batch of 2005 and the PG batch of 2007 was held in the auditorium and the amphitheathre on october 2nd( a dry day!!!!) by the batch of 2007. The venue which was shifted at the last minute from the lawns(due to the unhappiness of the rain gods) was apt for the roman theme. a larger than life portrait of Caesar (all credit to Anush, 2007) along with pillars and roman chariots played their part. kudos to the junior most batch of 2009 for dressing up in togas that lent the ambience a truly roman flavour.though the director fr.lawrence d’souza could not be there due to prior engagement, in his letter , he wished the 2005 batch and the pgs all the best for their future and to keep the flag of their alma mater flying high and live upto the motto of st.johns.
After the arrival of the dignitaries( Rev. Fr.Glen [Assoc. Director -FIN], Rev. Fr.Matthew [Assoc. Director - College] , Dr.Prem pais [Dean] , Dr.Sandhya [Vice-Dean], Dr.Kilpadi[HOD, Surgery] and Dr.L.N.Mohan who was the chief guest) ,Mr. Jino Joy [MBBS 2007, President Farewell Comm-09] delivered the welcome speech. This was followed

Magazine Release

by speech from the dignitaries. The MCs for the evening Ryan and Swathi (from batch of 07)then called on Alex and Romina from the Batch of 2005 to take part in release of their batch magazine.
The next event was 4 liners which was announced by Priyanka mathias and yours truly( i.e. nitin). usually though its boring, it was livened up this year due to the nature of the 4 liners themselves which were humourous and also background music for each person which was selected by the mad med men of 07 batch. I have to digress here and thank each and every person like Abey, Gopal, Murtuza, Jarin, Denzil, Md, Basanth , Mp, and everyone who helped me with the 4 liners. though it was tiring, it was really enjoyable and fun to gather information and insults!!! and humorous incidents of the 2005 batch.
This was followed by the distribution of mementoes nd the 4 liners for the post graduates. this was coordinated by Dr.sharon and Dr. jessy.

Mad Med Men Jnrs

it was time for the most awaited event of the evening: mad ads on the batch of 2005. it was done by the MAD MED MEN from the 2007 batch. the plot revolved around the storyline of JOHNITANIC wherein on a sinking ship, the fight for a girl(?????) between TWAYYYNE and JUDI take place amidst various characters from the 2005 batch including a dead man make their appearance. the climax of the revealation of who the girl(????) was left everyone in splits.
This was followed by a dance from the batch of 2007 which had won first place in ICC on special request by the batch of 2005. As always , the juniormost batch 2009 put up a performance in the form of a theme dance which showed that they have a lot of potential.

2009 Dance Team

As the stomachs started rumbling, it was time to move to the food court where a toast was raised for the graduating students. a sumptuous dinner awaited everyone in the amphi theatre and to liven up the environment there was music also. a band featuring embers from batch of 2002-2007 rocked the stage. But the highlight had to be the band perfromance by the 2005 batch . People rushed from food court at this point of time to listen to 2005 belt out their popular numbers like Mitwa, Yeh mera dil, etc. in the end a photo slide show depicting tsome of the memorable moments of 2005 batch along with a song specially written for the occassion drew cheers from the crowd and sent some into nostalgia.

There was just enough time to squeeze in a 30 min dance party( the official word for disc) . DJ Valz from 07 played out popular numbers and though there were shouts of more, the conking of the instrument and the permission for

deadline meant that a memorable evening had to come to an end.
All’s well that ends well. This was a farewell to a batch who have imprinted themselves and their deeds in everyones heart and have set lofty standards that are quite difficult to scale. Heres wishing them all the very best.
