St. Mary's 25 yr Reunion

August 22, 2009 - A fantastic reunion happened in Delhi where my Papa's friends met 25 years after graduating from school.

The fun began at Anuj's place on 22nd morning where I made new friends - Nunu and Disha

Rajesh Bangia and Amarpal came by the morning train, freshened up and we started in 2 cars for the Resort on Delhi-Jaipur road along with our families. Bangia-Amarpal discussed population explosion in Indian villages at great length and ways to counter it.

Before we knew it we were at the resort and 30 happy faces from years ago greeted us. Old friends, sweethearts, cricket buddies, and study mates.

The girls are especially impressive looking beautiful and sharp. The boys are laid back as per Lakhnavi ishtyle... lot of photo taking, short speeches, songs, catching up, and lunch.

Anuj is still da man

Batch of 10B - present - but missing everyone's favourite Sanjay Saxena and Mathew... next time guys

Subhayu, not as shy as before ;-) In fact noticed the most change in Chandrima, Sunita Nigam, Sunita Verma, and Sushmita

Doctor, lawyer, oil man?

My good friend Kaushik - fellow athlete and intellectual, now featuring philosopher's forehead

Wing commander Rakesh Singh (Buddha) instigator and rabble rouser... still the same

Devyani, our favourite victim, who in 1988 was completely convinced I had only days to live thanks to Buddha's drama...

Old great friends... we had a great time at the resort and got together at Anuj's place for some reminiscing...

with help from some spirits which would horrify sister Gladys.

We drove to Rakesh's house in 2 cars and got lost 5 times

We had a late dinner/early breakfast after food delivery was delayed by goofup. After that we headed back to Anuj's house.
