MORE than 150 Indian School Bahrain (ISB) alumni from around the world got together recently for a reunion, rekindling old memories.
The 1996 batch included more than 90 former students who flew in from abroad, including the US, India, the UK, the UAE and Djibouti for the day-long event.

Many of the alumni were highly accomplished professionals, chief executive officers, entrepreneurs, doctors and professional artists, working in a diverse array of sectors including artificial intelligence, aviation, forensics, fintech and more.
The reunion began with a school bus ride to the ISB Campus in Isa Town, where they recreated old photographs from their school days and reminisced about old friends, some of whom have since passed away.
New York-based investment banker Prashant Kamath posted an Instagram reel of his journey back, which has since gone viral with more than one million views.

In the evening, the group gathered again at the Diplomat Radisson Blu for a celebration bash, with dancing, light-hearted roasting, quizzes, confessions and jam sessions.
