JADAVPUR UNIVERSITY PHOTOGRAPHIC CLUB |
JUPC OF ALL GENERATIONS.........................
s
It has been long since
the past, present and future of JUPC assembled under one roof. This time at the
end of another long and eventful year, we did reunite… the first generation JUPC
members, the next and the current on the 29th
of
December of 2007. The spacious hall in the amenity centre, beside the canteen
housed the reminiscing seniors and the
eager, enthusiastic present members. Sri. Hemendu Biswas, the ex dean of
students and Sri. Ashoke Mukhopadhyay, the founder member of JUPC kept us
enthralled with their fond remembrances of 'those good old' days' in JU , the
high-ground of all cultural activities and JUPC , the one 'hobby' club that
stood the test of time to become a 'passion' club.
Selected photographs
taken by the present members and the freshers of the club were displayed and
appreciated. A brief
presentation on the club's present activities, plans and aims followed. The
issue of the club's urgent need to switch to digital photography was discussed.
Soon after the refreshment break, it was time for some of the seniors to
leave…but before they left we made sure all the members of the club, senior and
present, were caught in a frame together. The seniors displayed their photos,
landscapes and lifestyle captured in different parts of the world much to
general awe and admiration. In the break that was followed by dinner, Sri Gautam
Dutta played on the flute old bangla numbers and Swing da accompanied him on the
guitar.
Dinner was indeed a
jolly affair with Rajib da's impromptu rendition of a popular duet and Pratyush
da's soulful songs and loads of funny quotes and quips. When the party disbanded
finally there was contentment and happiness all around. The
seniors had blessed and encouraged us to carry forward the legacy and we learnt
the important lesson of humility and treasuring the past.
Thank you seniors for making this event such a memorable and pleasurable one. You have remained our inspirations as ever and together we shall keep up the name of JUPC as one of the promising organizations in the world of photography.
