Day 15!

The 15th day and also the second last day of the first phase of the Indo-German Exchange Program began with all thirty-six of us meeting at school for our project work. We had one hour to do some of our project work before we left school for the dream place of all aspirants of business management- The Indian School of Business. Our visit to the ISB was co-ordinated by our school counsellor, Mrs. Zenobia Rustomfram and the first view of the campus left us in awe. After reaching the ISB and taking in the amaxing sight, Mrs. Zenobia introduced us to four students of the ISB who would show us around the campus. While seeing the campus, each and every one of us were left dumb-struck. The recreational facilities, the calm atmosphere and the campus in a whole was a place worth studying. After seeing around the entire campus, we had our lunch in the campus atrium and each one of us was given a cloth bag with the ISB Magazine as a token of gratitude. After that, we left ISB and headed back to school to continue with our project work. A detailed run-through of all the presentations was conducted and then all of us went home to get dressed up for the farewell dinner.

 Our farewell dinner, which marked the beginning of the end of their trip to India, was held at Marigold Hotel and was compeered by Palak amd Malavika and was attended by the parents of all the students. The program started by video presentaion which brought back the memories of all these days and was followed by a speech by Mrs. Stephanie. The other events of the night were the German National Anthem sung by all the students from Hamburg after which an introductory movie about Hamburg, made by the students from there was played. Three students from India and two from Germany then shared a few words about their experiences. A song by the Indians, a dance by the Germans and the distribution of momentoes to all the students marked the end of the night's program after which everybody headed for the delecious food that awaited us. After the dinner and aftrr a few moist eyes, all of us left for our respective houses as an eventful and sad-but-happy day awaited us.
