Alumni on Valentine's Day


People may think it's definitely the wrong day to launch alumni, but do people really care about valentines' day either?

I was invited to participate for the inauguration ceremony of the Curtin Alumni chapter in Sri Lanka at the Galle Face Hotel. I wasn't expecting many people for this event but at the end of the event I saw no empty seats in the hall. On the other side of the Galle Face Hotel there were several functions organized to celebrate the Valentine's Day and I saw large number of people there despite the high price of the tickets. Well the Sri Lankans know how to spend for sure!
