The Class of 1994 from the Department of Architecture, MREC Jaipur, came together to celebrate a journey spanning 25 years—a Silver Jubilee Reunion, bringing batchmates from across the world to reminisce, reconnect, and create new memories. Held at the Ananta Spa & Resort in Jaipur, the reunion was thoughtfully planned to ensure two days of joy, nostalgia, and reflection on how far we’ve come since our college days.
The Journey to Ananta Spa & Resort
अनंता स्पा एंड रिज़ॉर्ट की ओर प्रस्थान
After reuniting at Grand Uniara, we made our way to Ananta Spa & Resort. Midway, we paused at Pink City Restaurant in Kukas, along the Delhi-Jaipur Highway, for tea and refreshments. It was a delightful stop that added a touch of Rajasthan’s hospitality to our journey. Sipping chai together brought back the charm of our student days, when tea breaks were all we needed to recharge during long study sessions.
दोपहर होते-होते हमारे सभी 17 बैचमेट्स इकट्ठा हो गए थे। सात कारों में सवार होकर हम अनंता स्पा एंड रिज़ॉर्ट की ओर चले और रास्ते में दिल्ली-जयपुर हाईवे पर पिंक सिटी रेस्टोरेंट में चाय और रिफ्रेशमेंट के लिए रुके। यहाँ पर हमने अपनी पहली थड़ी की चाय का आनंद लिया, जो हमें हमारे कॉलेज के उन दिनों की याद दिला गई जब हम हर थड़ी पर रुककर चाय पिया करते थे।
After our stop at Pink City Restaurant in Kukas for tea and refreshments, our group of 17—of which 9 were local attendees—continued toward Ananta Spa & Resort around 1:00 pm. Traveling in a convoy of 7 cars, we reached the resort by 1:30 pm, filled with excitement and anticipation. This short drive gave us a chance to share laughs, stories, and enjoy the camaraderie that only a reunion can bring.
Arrival at Ananta Spa & Resort
We arrived at Ananta Spa & Resort, welcomed by its grand entryway on the first floor, accessible through two impressive ramps. A beautiful fountain greeted us at the entrance, setting a serene tone for the afternoon. In true Indian tradition, the resort staff welcomed us warmly with tilak and mala, an experience that made each of us feel honored and valued. This thoughtful touch brought a sense of ceremony and made the reunion feel even more special.
1:30 बजे हम अनंता स्पा एंड रिज़ॉर्ट पहुंचे। पहले मंजिल पर खूबसूरत फाउंटेन और भव्य एंट्री ने हमारी यात्रा को और भी खास बना दिया। वहाँ के स्टाफ ने हमें पारंपरिक भारतीय अंदाज में तिलक और माला के साथ स्वागत किया, और इस तरह दो दिनों के हमारे इस यादगार कार्यक्रम का शानदार आगाज़ हुआ।

Upon arrival at Ananta Spa & Resort, we completed our registration at the reception, and rooms were allotted for our group. The resort had arranged eight rooms to accommodate 16 of us comfortably in one cottage unit:
