Sunday, the 21st of December, 2008, brightest students from every corner of Pakistan convened to attend a seminar on risk management sponsored by Citi Foundation and held by IoBM Karachi. That day onwards, correct me if I am wrong and I speak on behalf of everyone, all the participants had times of their lives, an equilibrated mix of learning and fun, something that would go in bold in the book of memories.
We had the honor to interact with most esteemed guests like Mr Arif Usmani, Mr. Nadeem Hussain and many others, who shared with us the first hand knowledge of market and filled us in with the most pragmatic issues of the banking world. The real-life cases allowed us to link the theoretical base with the practical applications and bridged the gap between academics and professionalism.
On the fun side, we visited Lal Qila, Boat Basin, BBQ Tonite, Dreamworld, Kaybees, Golf Club, Sands pit and what not. The devotion of the organizers is more than just commendable. Dr. Faisal, Madam Khadija, Madam Khulood, Madam Samra and others, they all were very dedicated hosts and took very good care, specially of the people living in IoBM.
All in all, I hope this venture was just a beginning of a long term interaction and friendship and I wish all the luck for everyone
