Aise Reunion Na milenge dobara

 

Priceless and profound!!! I am glad  I was able to join this memorable event..i cant help but wonder can another time

come when we can all meet.. may be maybe not… personally I have new found affection to all of you since..

Ravi and Meher I can’t thank you two enough for the Texas hospitality(A standing Ovation).. I should thank

everybody who have made to the event and participated and planned the event.. took time to join the call’s,

shout outs in the emails and truly willing to engage… Naaz, you have made the right choices and gracefully

herded us all thru the planning… thank you.. Manasa, you chose to come and join despite your son’s birthday..thank you..

Chetana you came here leaving behind young kids.. thank you.. Sandy… you were just like “kuch bhi hogay I am going to reunion”  thank you. Kiran I am now starting to understand the depth and power of silence after knowing about your achievements..thanks for sharing your experience and accomplishments. Anita you still the same composed and firm personality I can remember..and thx for putting your foot down about not going to the Rodoe..lol

 

the guys have really taken me back to school days ..none of you have held back anything or was there any

pretentiousness .. I could have been that juvenile only with you.. thank you all.. all the crude fun we had

back in the hotel room… I haven’t laughed so much in a long time…actually I haven’t laughed so much ever

before… suri, meher, ashok, CN, Raman, Ravi, thanks for all the fun poked and for the right spirit while at

the receiving end..

In the future If I should be anywhere near any of you I promise to make extra effort to at least meet you

for a coffee. i sincerely hope you would do the same if you are around SFO. I wish for you all a great life

ahead, courage to barge ahead , peace and joy

 

We should now switch back to the halbatc...@googlegroups.com email so the friends will not

feel estranged in any way …

Thank you

Hi Friends,

Frankly I did not know what to expect when I was packing my bag and getting ready for the reunion. I was wondering how each of us would have evolved over the years in their personalities. After reading some of the emails, I was not sure how many awkward moments might be there etc., etc., 

But, what a pleasant surprise it was. It was like we just started where we left off a few days ago. Not a single unpleasant moment or memory I have of the last 2 days. I cherish every single minute of it and would not change it for anything.

Suri and CNS  and Raman- I think we had not interacted with each other so much in school but, it was really nice talking to you guys.  

Manasa, Sandy and Naaz - it was good to see you all. All the good old days spent with you all came rushing back. Sandy, Good luck with all your ventures. Send us some pics of you with Martha Stewart.:-)

Kiran- it was so nice meeting you. You truly amaze me.:-)

Ashok-I am so happy we did not end up in any arguments. Because I came mentally prepared that I will not take any nonsense from you.:-) but, you turned out to be such a sweetheart. All the anger melted away. 

Ravi and Meher- So good to see both of you. You guys carry the same sweet personalities as in school. No words to describe the amount of patience you guys showed during this entire process. I know we made some last minute changes and all that. Thanks for bearing with us. A special thanks to your spouses too.

Diwaker- It was great seeing you. Life takes us through so many ups and downs. But, I am really happy that you made the right choices and everything turned out great for you. I know it is none of my business but, please try and quit smoking. It is not worth it. 

Chetana-See you in a couple of weeks:-).
