Hi Guys

 

This is Paul Barreto. I hope somebody remembers me. Its really been great seeing all these messages coming from all parts of the world. I spoke to Mario Rocha and Mauro over the last few days and believe me it brought back a whole load of good memories of the good OLD DAYS.

 

A special thanks to Ruben for getting me ON BOARD. And Mohandas thanks for providing my mobile no to Ruben.

 

Is it possible to change my email id to the one I have on gmail.

 

Anyway, lets keep in touch.

 

Paul

Hi Paul,

It was great to have finally caught up with you and as discussed, please get some more of our buddies on board. By the way, you are the first member of the 1980 batch, as till now we had a homogenous mix of the 81 to 84 batches. Based on our consensus, we will let you know the date we plan to meet in Goa this December.

Please let us know your gmail ID, so that Ruben can get it changed.

 Hey this is amazing....

 

I missed meeting Mario when I was in CA...

 

And several occasions me and Ajay Rai played tag during my CA visits:-(

 

But I was able to meet with Dr. Manish Parashar on Monday this week.

 

Nostalgia all over indeed...

 

Manish has not changed a bit, except that his hairline has staretd recceding, just like mine...

 

And was able to meet in person with Maruo, his wify, and their two cute sons along with my wify and my one and only son when I was in Pune...

 

Also met Parag Kelkar during that trip.

 

And guess what, Anup Keny, the towering personality that he has alsways been, shows up at my Powai office while I was having lunch with his boss.. Which means Commander Anup Keny and I are workig for the same org.

 

Guys, all I can say is that this is indeed amazing...

 

And Paul, man, how the f... you think anyone of us can forget u...

 

Specially all the bridge and mindicot games we had, more often then not in my room, with a green cover for the table..

 

Does anyone have Prof Paul Vaz's contact info?

 

He too needs to be a part of this group, what say?

 

Guys, let us NOT forget we ALL are self made Engicos and NOW have reached our own destinations. by choice or by destiny...

 

Trust me, we are the BEST.

 

Let us collectively locate Mr. Manoj Kumar Pujari too:-)

 

And Paul, not sure, but what is your gmail id?

 

Also give me your cell #, trust me I will call you.

 

Cheers

Rajesh

Rajesh,

It was great meeting with you in Poona with the family. We met after a gap of more than 10 years after our last meeting in Bangalore. Its great to meet our engico buddies after more than two decades. My first such meeting was with Gurumurthy in Bangalore. Some of us look the same with the addition on the waste line and the deletion and greying of the hairline. I am sure it will be great to meet most of our buddies in Goa this December.

Regards to Manish and its good to hear that he has not changed much. Hope to see him in Goa.

It will definitely be worth locating Paul Vaz and Manoj Kumar Pujari. The last I had heard that Paul Vaz had migrated to Australia and Puja was based in Bombay. We should all continue will our quest to locate the rest of our buddies.

Paulito,

Added paulb...@gmail.com. Let me know if it is the wrong id. Else will proceed to delete vilanova id.

 

Looks like we finally have the googlegroup going. Growing by the day. Let’s however restrict it to 80-84 batches only else many juniors may join in and screw the exclusivity we need at 45. Anyone missing? Let me know so I can add.

 

By the way Rajesh (Varkhed), no one seems to be signing up on Facebook. There are only three or 4 members from this group there. I am using it and I think it’s cool. Guys, you can sign up there too. Huge interesting community there.

 

Rgds,

It was absolutely fabulous to meet up with Rajesh - the best part was that it felt like we had just met the other day, when it fact we met after 22 years! And he is being very kind about my receding hairline.....

 

Thanks for starting this - a get together would be event better....

Hi Manish,

Its great having you in our fold and thanks for also getting some of your batch mates into the group which is continually expanding. I know the great feeling of meeting our engico buddies after a long gap, which actually sucks you back into the time zone of your college days.  I am sure that our meet this December will be nostalgic. We also plan to meet every year after this meet and celebrate our silver anniversary of the engico error. This year, the 1979 batch of Sandeep Sood ( Elder brother of Ajay Sood ) are celebrating it in Goa and next year, our Paul Barreto's batch will have to do so. Its only when you talk of these milestones, you get into the reality that a couple of decades have gone by. By the way, in our present group, we have four professors, that is Simon, Fabian Gomes, Allan Rocha and Manish. I am sure that there will be more guys in that line of work. I know that Udhay Amonkar is lecturing in GEC.

I am in sink with Ruben, that we should restrict our group batches to the Bombay University era, for which I think the cutoff is the 1985 batch. I would like to get the 1979 batch on line, as they are the last of a different breed of  egico's. I think that they are also the last batch that celebrated Happenings in the old library building. There are a lot of memories of that building, as it also operated as our only indoor auditorium for the introduction of the FE's as well the few other activities of the college. Now there is a new building, so I wonder what the old building is being used for. Ajay Sood and Mario Rocha can get these guys of 1979 batch on board. The rest of us should continue on the quest to locate and register more of our buddies to this group.

[Fabian Gomes]

G'day Engicos,
   I think I graduated in 87. The 15 courses in the final year(backlog and all) or the late terrace sessions, something fried my mind, its all a blur. A short stint in Bangalore was followed by another in Faridabad, Haryana. Cannot recollect much, other than the photographs that marked the landscapes of a dozen states that I visited on a blue IndSuzuki. I can see Mauro in one trip down to Tamil Nadu and several of Guru who hung out with me on his many visits to Bangalore.
  I moved to California in 89 for my masters and later to Alberta, Canada for a PhD.  The recession limited opportunities for foreign nationals. Relocated to New Zealand in 96, which gave me an opportunity to take a detour to Goa with my wife and daughter. I did surprise Shekhar (canteen manager) when I visited GEC and Trevor Silveira from Vasco. I have not been to Goa, since. Relocated to British Columbia for a post doctorate, decided to get out of academics and relocated to Ottawa, with Nortel. We pretty much settled down for 10yrs until my daughter started competing at the Canadian nationals (violin) and relocated back to California, for better music/academic opportunities. I am currently with Broadcom, for just over a year, and will probably relocate again ... crap, I hate relocating.
   Two years back, I heard the familiar voice of Maninda Wikramasinghe who was visiting the US. We tracked down Paul Vaz, who left Kenya and relocated to the US, at Arizona State Univ http://math.la.asu.edu/~pvaz . I bumped into a handful of ex-engicos while at Nortel, visiting Ottawa from the various consultancy/software firms in India.
   Paul B, say hi to my cousins in Velcao.  Guru drop me an email. I cannot promise to reply promptly as I check my mail once a month or so.

Hi Fabian,

Welcome to our group and great to hear about your post engico era We have been waiting to hear from you for quite some time, but architect Brian kept me posted about you. We have not met post our last meeting in Bangalore and the wild bike ride to Hoganical falls. As you have read my first contact mail to you which included all the old mails from our group, I will not repeat about my post engico days.

I know you don't come to Goa often, but hope you can make it this December or subsequently for some other meets, until our silver anniversary. You should also meet up with some of our US based group members.

Its great to hear from you, so do keep in touch. Now we are awaiting for Maninda and the rest of the silent group members to come on board.

Regards
Mauro

At present we have guys from the 1980 to 1984 batches. We are also trying to meet up in Goa this December. Once you are on board, see if you can get some more of our buddies on board.

We require all you new entrants to give us a brief of your professional & personal life.

All the best and do keep in touch.
