I had a very pleasant chat with Prasad Rao a few days ago when he called. He was talking about a proposed reunion sometime in December this year in Hyderabad. He also mentioned the names of Pappu, Joan and Bhanu without elaborating any role(s). Yes, we have not had our ritual reunion since the Mysusru one, and the next one is due, if not overdue. While I can't speak for others, the US Department of State and CDC have issued a level 4 advisory  for travel to India, which means  we have  to seek approval for travel when we book our tickets. Even without the advisory, I would have been reluctant to travel . given the uncertainty of protection the current vaccine affords against emerging strains. It would be prudent to consider a reunion in 2002 - October onwards. I shall also e mail this since all of  our batch mates are not on WhatsApp.  Vijai
