Agnesians Mariette D'souza, Marissa Noronha, Pearl Fernandes and Jyothi came all the way from Mangalore. Their presence was also greatly appreciated. We truly missed having Sr. Vanessa, the Principal of St. Agnes college who was unable to attend but gave her blessings and good wishes. Vibha Shetty was the Master of ceremonies. After the formal election process concluded, everyone had a fun-filled afternoon with lots of games, housie and delicious Chinese cuisine to relish.

The venue vibrated and echoed with the sentiments of friendship and goodwill that made every Agnesian present bond with each other. The sisters Maya and Sheela on keyboards played lively music along with Coreen, Savitha, Lorette, Priya, Prajwal, Lunita and several others singing along, which made everyone dance with gusto and enthusiasm.

A talent competition was held in which Kavitha Rego along with her friend Vineeta did a mono act by singing “Daisy Daisy” entertaining the crowd.

To love and endure.
