1984 BATCH GET TOGETHER - 21 FEB 2010

The 1984 batch finally took out time from their supposedly busy schedules to get together on 21 Feb 2010 at the Press Club Chandigarh, a venue kind courtesy Kuldeep Singh. The get together initially planned for 20 Feb evening could only materialise on 21 Feb afternoon and due to this last minute change some of the batch mates could not make it but sent their best wishes and hello. Some were not keen from the begining and decided not to attend but then the lucky 13 who met ensured that it became an afternoon to cherish. The afternoon was filled with laughter and reliving old times. We all were behaving exactly the way we used to 26 years back. The same back slapping, leg pulling and remembering of teachers, incidents and even heartthrobs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The afternoon had all that was needed to make it memorable. Some of us were meeting after March 1984; a period of about 26 years. The afternoon ended much later in the evening with the promise of meeting more regularly, ensuring attendance of those who did not attend this time and making it family affair.

ANOTHER ONE FOR THE RECORDS

SCHOOL GET TOGETHER

         It's going to be a year since the school blog was started with the aim of reconnecting the school alumni and to fulfill the desire of meeting those we grew up with. In these few months this initiative has hopefully been able to deliver this wish, may be only in part. People have reconnected, shared reminisces from the past, and have even met; albeit in smaller groups. One gets to hear news of our alumni sitting as far away as US and Australia getting in touch with their batchmates and friends.

         At this juncture, one is a little perplexed as to where to take it from here because it is no more an individual effort. The data uploaded has been searched, compliled and forwarded by all of you with a lot of effort. One has all along, got the support of all of you in following something that few believed in, to begin with. Therefore, I would need your advice on how and what should be the next step. Some of you would say that obviously we should meet each other. I remember one or two OSA meets that I attended and the kind of lukewarm response they got and therefore I am very apprehensive about organising a simple get together. Therefore, can I request you all to give your suggestions and advice on where to take this effort from here. And, if we do decide to get together in chandigarh, when and how should we go about and who all can help in organising this get together. I look forward to your valuable suggestions and advice and hope that this effort would definitely move to the next pedestal and with all the "Elan and Participation" that it deserves.

 

PS: Some friends have suggested the date of 03 Apr 2010 for  organising the school get-together 02 & 04 Apr being holidays. The reason quite understandably cited is pre-occupation of parents with children exams in Mar. The venue suggested is some restaurant/resort/club and not the school premises.
