It is called Alufest, a name some of us are not comfortable with!
With a more committed team led by Asha Marina co ordinating the alumni acts, this year's meet was simple and straight.
It was good to see over 300 guests at the school campus, though most belonged to more recent school leaving batches, which makes it a tad difficult to bridge the folks from the 70s and 80s with the new century alumni!
Teachers who had taught in the 70s and 80s were honoured. A surprise was Ms Lakshmi who used to teach Hindi to students of the 60s and 70s. Ms Nazreen were also spotted.
There were a string of dances and Tamil pop hits to enthuse the audience while a snacks tent served a limited variety.
But it was a time to catch up with old classmates. And most of them adjourned to the main block side of the school to converse.
A snappy alumni meet it was.
