HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011...... SILVER JUBILEE YEAR FOR 1986 BATCH

               2010 has gone leaving behind a loadful of memories and the dawn of a new year brings with it a lot of hope, expectation and resolutions. We bid farewell to the year gone bye with a lot of gratitude and fondness. To many of us, it was a long trip down the memory lane. We were able to link up with many friends from school days and relive those golden times. It also re-affirmed our faith that knowingly or unknowingly, the bonds formed during our school days have stayed strong till today. We hope and pray that these bonds will grow from strength to strength in times to come and we will continue to derive pride from the fact that "35 Model Chandigarh" provided us the foundation on which we have built our life.

          The year 2011 also marks the "SILVER JUBILEE" of passing out of the 86 Batch. I am sure that the batch will have grand plans for celebrating this momentous milestone and we will hear about their celebrations in  days to come.

          On behalf of the entire 35 Model Fraternity, we wish ourselves a year filled with Happiness, Good Health, Peace & Prosperity. May the year ahead also bring more friends together and widen the school alumni network......................Amen

        Finally, the hithertofore elusive 'B' Section of the 1983 batch has sent their Class 10 Farewell function picture. The names have been provided by Mr Munish Gupta. I would request the batch to update not only the names but also the contact details so that the batch can reconnect.

POST SABBATICAL..................

          It is again after nearly 4 months that one is getting back writing on the blog. This self imposed sabbatical was not because there was not much happening on the Alumni front, but was because the inputs were not being sent for uploading and I did not want to "lift" pics from Facebook/Orkut etc. However, these social network sites are being used very actively to pursue the aim of reconnecting with batchmates and friends. The feeling of belongingness is quite visible for everyone to see. 
        This school blog meanwhile found mention in some vernacular dailies some time back for being the only blog of a Govt School in Chandigarh. One doesn't know how correct it is, but anyway we need to make this blog more vibrant and interactive. How exactly, is for you all to tell and guide. Can we begin by having another look at our respective batch lists and updating it? We did get a lot of information after the Get together in April but haven't been able to upload it. Shall be doing that part soon.

         And now the most awaited question......... Should we have another School Get Together? If yes, then 'When'?  How will end October or mid Nov be? Hopefully a lot of you will be home for Festivals. Please let us know your views. The more unanimous they are, easier it will be for us to home on to a most suitable date. And I must admit, we will need as many volunteers as possible to help us organise the show. Last time around some generous Alumni came around to help us prepare memorabilias etc. Such help(only genuine) will also be required this time. Let's put our thoughts together on this issue. Hope to hear from you all soon.............

OBITUARY: GURMEET SINGH (1984 BATCH)

           It is with a deep sense of sorrow that I share the news of untimely demise of our friend Gurmeet Singh of 1984 Batch ('A' Section) on 27 Aug 2010  at Fortis Hospital, Mohali after suffering from Swine Flu for about a week. The news comes as a shock to all his friends and we pray to the God Almighty to provide strength to his family to bear this irreparable loss. May his soul rest in peace.

           I remember Gurmeet as a very affectionate and friendly class fellow with whom we had spent our golden years in school studying and playing together. Ever accommodating and ready to help others, Gurmeet will always remain in our thoughts and we will cherish the times we spent together. Gurmeet, we will miss you.
