        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.

AFTER 03 APRIL'10..............WHAT NEXT?????

           It has been a month since we all got together to celebrate our common bond, "35 MODEL CHANDIGARH". We all were able to interact and reconnect with old buddies, reminisce our school days with our class fellows & teachers. The blessings bestowed by our teachers while passing out has brought us where we are today and I am sanguine that the blessings they gave on 03 Apr '10 shall take us further from here to our chosen destinations in life. The last one month has been spent, at least by us, basking in the warmth of a job well accomplished and the compliments received. And I must admit, they were the best rewards one could get. So, it is a big "THANK YOU" from Rajiv's side as well as from my side. We may not have been able to thank each one of you individually for your compliments but we cherish them, all the same.

          Organising the school alumni meet was a roller coaster ride for us. It had it's ups and downs. There were many issues that frustrated us but there were more peaks than troughs and so one did derive a sense of satisfaction out of the whole experience. One has learnt what to do and what not to do; whom to approach and whom to avoid.  Now is the time to move on. My pre-occupations have not allowed me to get down to compiling the data base that we have collected for making the directory. Hope this pending task gets completed soon !!!!!!!!!!!

           In the last one month one has received a lot of fresh inputs and querries from our Alumni who hither to fore did not form part of our data base. It is our earnest request to all our friends to further consolidate the details of their batch so that whenever we get together next, there are new friends joining in and re-connecting. The inputs can be sent through the comments section of the blog or through the email.

          This blog belongs to all the Alumni of 35 Model Chandigarh. Therefore I am extending an invitation to all of you who would care to express their views, to send the same at the administrator's e-mail and we shall put it up on the blog. Gurmeen Ma'am has made fantastic contributions and this should serve as a motivation to rest of us to write whatever we feel about the school or our experiences. We all must start thinking about How, When and Where we all should be getting together next. So, let's start weaving another dream and soon we shall together see it materialising.
