“ As I walk towards Starbucks at Powai, the venue for
celebrating BITSianDay, an ebb of emotions engulf
me. The friends I have made, the amazing
experiences that transformed me, and the decade of
being identified as a BITSian, bring in an involuntary
smile! Celebrating #BITSiansDay”. Proud to be

“I hear BITSians speak of their days at BITS, and how
they miss those days and BITS, but the truth is we're
never far away from BITS, we all have a part of us
that's BITS and it's gonna be a part of us till death
and after that. So I raise a glass to the never dying
BITSian spirit that makes us who we are. I'm a
BITSian and I'm proud of it. Happy BITSians day.”
