The word "Ennui" exists in various English Dictionaries and for those not aware: it stands for a feeling of listlessness and dissatisfaction arising for reasons that would offend many and therefore I shall keep it limited here by just mentioning that as synonyms it has cousin words like boredom, tedium, listlessness, lethargy, lassitude, languor, weariness, enervation and it thus goes on.
Individually as we brush our teeth, shave or be tying the turban, we do look at the persona in the mirror's reflection. And whenever that happens, would it be worth the while that attending the "reunion" decision may look difficult and we shall soon be revisiting that point, what about the eternal absence of the details that need to be captured on the "Coffee Table Book". And the question to ask is, "having added the years that now annotate my various personal documents and thus reflect my aggregated maturity, what is stopping me to either just click on the link provided to enter details for the CTB or allow the to not even do that and submit some minimal detail to Murali who will do it for me". Very easy to start naming the recalcitrant but the sheer dignity to respect the individuality of each and every course-mate remains paramount. And this is not just the vested lot who have volunteered to take on the responsibility but many others who are so assiduous, passionate and thus berating the whole lot that haven't.
What has changed, aren't you a "Pachpan" and why can't you do it? You need help - call Pratap, Murali, Atul Madan, Puneet, Jimmy and so many more but do it. Look for inputs to help you on "Telegram" App and "WhatsApp" and if you haven't joined these Apps, respond to this email.
Humble request, overcome whatever that dissuades you, you are family and the family wants you to respond, that's all.
Best,
