Priyamvada Dev – The sole lady of the batch had a variety of hobbies and
9
interests. These included Basketball and Badminton, reading novels, and
occasionally pain ng and sketching. She also greatly improved her skill at Billiards in
her final year, winning the Mixed Doubles Billiards Tournament. On the cultural
front, she was o en seen in the dance performances or as the emcee at various
cultural evenings, including on the Club Day. She also tried her hand at the
Synthesizer.

Alok Kumar Maurya – A keen Footballer, he represented Gymkhana at Football
10
matches at Jamalpur Sports Associa on. Being an ardent lover of Indian music, he
dabbled with the Flute. His enthusias c dance steps alone could make him
popular at a party, and his charm and sense of humour were unmatched. He could
li spirits with his innocuous wit. His portrayals of eccentric sages in Club Day
plays was the outstanding feature of the en re performance and he always
received resounding applauds for the same. His dedica on towards 'Prerna'
ac vi es exuded his compassion. He was an ardent reader of novels and could
always be counted upon for a great company. Excellent at Badminton (he was the
captain), AKM also played Tennis whenever he could. He was one third of the
Trident – the other two being AK and TA '2k10 – a group that nearly covered the
length and breadth of the country during their appren ceship.

almost all ac vi es afforded by Gymkhana to its members. He will be well-
remembered for his fast-paced, unconven onal dance rou nes, and for the Tabla,
which he played really well. He was popular for his Santa-Banta acts (along with MT
'2k10) at cultural programmes, where his an cs had the audience in splits. AS was a
lover of Gymkhana's tradi ons and was a guide in this regard to all his juniors.
