Thakur's party rocked

I have not recovered from Thakur's party last night. (Mar 15).
It was the best meet our batch has had since we started gathering moss!

It was held at his penthouse on Nelson Manickam Road ( the Pantaloons store is on the ground flr of this bldg - the road itself has become a business/shopping area. linking Loyola College and Anna Nagar via Aminjikarai.

There were 23 people I was told. Newcomers included Basthimal Jain ( who lives in Purusawalkam and runs his own business), T J Paul who is in Kolathur and Ravi who is still in his ancestral house in Chintadripet.

The ladies - Thomeena, Isabel, Selvi, Vimala, Thara and Rani - were there too.

Thakur told us about his early days after he left school and how he had seen the highs and lows in life to make it big. He played a great host. Murali and Ashok and Khaja got the group in.

Bhasthi also shared his memories, having attended the first of such meetings.

The group decided that it should plan ahead on what role it could play in the school in the new academic year.
The bar was great and so was the food. Enjoying it up there on the 5th floor was special.

We closed at about midnight.

Thakur is in town till March end before he flies back to the USA.
We have collected all the contact phone nos and email IDs of the classmates who have bonded so far and we will post them here soon.

Sathyavathy's dinner meet

Sathyavathy was in town a fortnight ago. 

(She used to be the quiet, studious girl in the front rows - you will recognise her when I post the pics here soon)

She lives in the USA and made time to treat us to dinner at what used to be one of our fav haunts - Hotel Asokha.

This time, Isabel managed to attend. ( the regulars were there anyway).

Venkataraman who is related to Sathya was quick to network and arrange the meet and we hope this is how we are gonna meet classmates in the future . . .

P. S. - Isabel is with the Railways and based in Madras ( lives in the Ramavaram suburb ). Meanwhile, Thomeena is on transfer and moves to Bombay in late March.
