Welcome to the batch of 2020. The class of “PRESIDENTS”👑 .
Before anything else, it is important to tell why this batch of 2020😷 is super special. This batch was like that one elder sibling👨‍👦 which has gone through the best of best and worst of worst to teach us all possible scenarios.
Be it scraping off of important marking policies after boards, or something as phenomenal as demonetisation 💸, attending the most revolutionising protests, seeing history take turns and witnessing the “out of the world” things, this batch has seen everything with the closest proximity. So much so, this is the first batch we know who is studying 📚 , appearing for exams and attending the farewell 🎊 all through the screens.
Jaisa socha tha vaisa grand farewell 🎊 🎊 na de paane ka gham aapse zyada hame hai😶. Par usi ki koshish mein yeh chota sa tohfa 🎁🤗 .

Epitome will miss you loads☹️. Thanks for being there and helping us to settle in this new environment✨
