Mr. & Mrs. IBA
Feb 14, 2010
As part of the alumni engagement initiatives, the Alumni
Department organized a Reunion event for Valentine's Day
in February for all married couples of IBA at The
Sheraton Hotel. The event was attended by 100 guests
that included couples from the batches of 1974 till
2010. The couples remembered and rejoiced their times at
IBA, as they enjoyed the hilarious skit prepared by
students depicting campus life and relationships over
the eras followed by a compatibility quiz for couples
from the audience. The videos and pictures of the old
and new IBA that were shown to the audience left them
with awe!
Since the event was organized on the valentine's eve, it
was ensured that the ambience and the atmosphere fit the
occasion perfectly. Musical dedications along with
flowers were being sent to the wives through students
(read cupid) while they enjoyed a lavish dinner.
There were many couples who could not attend the event
since they were not in Karachi but extended their well
wishes through email. The simple request made by all who
attended was: 'You should make this an annual affair'
and we will!

Here is a message from them for the alumni:

Dear Alumni,
I remember my time at IBA very fondly as it
was the beginning of a whole new life for me
both personally and professionally. While
IBA gave me the foundations for a very
successful business life, I count the
friends we made at IBA as some of my dearest
friends to date. 36 years later we still
meet on important personal occasions. The
moral of my story is: enjoy the friendships
you are making now for they are everlasting!
In August 2009, all the girls and several
guys from the MBA Class of 1975 and 74
travelled from around the world to be with
Aslam and me on the occasion of our son's
wedding. I attach a photograph of that too.

Dear Alumni,
Being at IBA was one of the
best things that could have happened to me.
It equipped me to have a successful
international career and also gave me an
opportunity to find a wonderful life
partner. I am sure our shared experiences at
IBA cemented our personal and professional
interaction and we still have fond flashback
to those two wonderful years at IBA. God
bless IBA and all the people who are working
hard to keep it as a source of great talent.
Kishwer and I wish we could be there with
you all!
