In the land of kangaroos and koalas, the spirit of IBA continues to thrive! The IBA alumni based in Sydney gathered for the very first time at a heartwarming Eid Milan party, bringing together more than 40 people—including alumni, their partners, and children—for an evening filled with memories, laughter, and connection.
Organised by the founding members of the IBA Alumni ANZ Chapter based in Sydney, Ahmed Rafi, Rahul Kumar, Sindhya Kirshan, Talib Haider; and hosted by Ahmed Rafi & his beautiful wife Almas Ali, the event brought together alumni from as early as the Class of 2002 to recent graduates of 2020. It was a beautiful blend of generations, united by the shared bond of our alma mater.
No IBA reunion is complete without delicious Pakistani food, and this gathering was no exception. From the aroma of biryani to the warmth of kebabs, the spread had everyone reminiscing about hostel dinners and canteen hangouts. A special highlight was the dessert table, lovingly curated by our own alumna and founder of The Tea-Cake Lady (https://lnkd.in/eevazn94) , whose sweet creations were an instant hit.
While it may have taken a little time to bring the group together here in the southern hemisphere, this event marked the beginning of a new tradition. Plans are already underway to meet more regularly and keep the IBA flag flying high—no matter where in the world we are.
Here’s to many more memories, milestones, and meetups.
