MR SP KAKKAR

MR SP KAKKAR

Today, while visiting a Medical Diagonostic Lab in Sec 22, Chandigarh, I happened to notice an old patient being brought in on a wheel chair. Since there was nothing unusual about it, I continued with my work till I heard one of the employees ask the elderly patient if he would like a glass of water while his turn comes. The patient replied, "Thank you, I do not want anything but I want you to finish my tests so that I am relieved of the pain". I turned around to have a closer look because I had heard this firm, confident and reverberating voice before. Sure enough it was our Kakkar Sir. He appeared a bit feeble due to age but had not lost his spark. If I say that I was elated to meet him; it would be an understatement. I have remembered him so very often while working on the blog and while reminiscing the school days. I met him and he was visibly happy to know that I was his student. He had suffered a "fracture of spine" and thus was in great pain. I chose not to indulge him in conversation lest it aggravates his pain. I payed my regards to him and withdrew from there wishing him quick recovery, but not without noting down his contact details. I am sure there would be many like me who would wish to convey their regards and best wishes to him for his speedy recovery. His contact details are:

ALUMNI DATABASE

About 10 days back we had visited the school and interacted with Ms Indu Bala Dahiya, our school's present Principal. When shown and told about the school blog, she had complimented the effort and assured all possible help. She also commented that this is probably the only Govt school blog, at least in Chandigarh. The help came yesterday when we received a mail listing out names of school alumni right from the 1973 Batch up to 1999 Batch; a full 26 years data base, something that would have been an impossible task on our own. I take this opportunity on behalf of all the members of 35 Model fraternity to thank Ms Indu Bala Dahiya and her team to have extracted the data from old registers so painstakingly in so little time. "Thank You Ma'am". In due course of time the names of the batches will be put up on the blog for you all to update them with the contact details of your friends. I am sanguine that this will help us in a big way to locate our friends and class fellows reminisce old times and share a laugh.

Principal Hardyal Singh

Yesterday evening I recieved a surprise call from "Principal Hardyal Singh", our school Principal for the better part of our school tenure in 70s-80s. It was indeed a very pleasant surprise. He had been told about the school blog and so he called up to convey his appreciation. He told me that his son who had passed out from this very school and was in USA had mentioned about the blog and the kind of positive response it has been drawing even there. Sir recounted his tenure in "35 Model Chandigarh" with nostalgia and pride and termed it as one of his best tenures in the entire career where he could derive Job satisfaction and could deliver good results because of dedication of students and staff. He was very happy to note that many of his students have excelled in professional career and have carved a niche' for themselves. He has conveyed his "Blessings" to all of us through this medium. He has also promised to share some old photographs and material about school that is with him. I am sure these photographs and snippets from past will remind us of the Golden Days that we all spent in the 35 Model. I shall be putting up these pics in due course. I have requested Sir for his latest photograph for uploading on the blog and he has consented to give the same. In the interim I am giving out the contact details of Principal Hardyal Singh for those who may like to get in touch with him.
