You must be wondering what's cooking that we haven't yet announced the annual meet that is usually held in August. Well to be honest, we have been trying to sync up with calendar of very distinguished people from BITS to make the annual meet that much more meaningful. BITS Pilani VC Dr. LKM and Dean Natarajan (aka Nattu) are scheduled to be in Pune for Tolani Maritime Institute's convocation. They are going to be here for 2-3 days however their schedule is packed. So we were trying to get a slot so that we could have them for the annual event. Finally they have confirmed their availability for 21st August which is a Friday. Though it is a working day, we know members would usually not mind cutting few hours from their work to meet with VC and Dean. So plan your diaries. We are working to get a venue at central location and suitable for the event. If you have any suggestions for venue, you are most welcome. We will be finalizing the venue and programme details in next couple of days and communicate. You will find that the wait was worth it!
