Guys, I pity those who could not join us at Caravan, Kochi today. Eight of us managed to huddle over what was ice-cream a hour ago and shared some hearty laughs.
 
On the agenda was a game where late comers had to guess the names of those who were already at the table. Given the fact that some of us were meeting each other after twenty (!!!) long years it wasn't surprising that all of us did not win at this game.
 
Just to build up suspense, here that journey through memory lane once again (on request). Some of us will be posting pictures from today's get together very soon.
 
So long...

Hi all,

I would say that all those who could not make it , missed all the fun and happy moments.
So don't miss the chance next time.Sharing few moments caught on camera.
Thanks everyone for making it happen in a small but memorable way. And like what Pallavi said, we could have spent some more time. Maybe next time with more people.......

Regards.

Jaycee.

P.S: Kindly excuse my silly captions for the photos.

Dear colleagues. Wow fantastic. It was just lovely seeing the pictures. Gosh so many of the mannerisms ( in pics) are just the same that I remember clearly with each of you. And hey had no problem in identifying anyone :-). Keep up the good job and hopefully I can meet up with a few of you the next time I am on kochi. Once again great job guys there is nothing like meeting up after years and have a few cherishable moments not to mention remembring a few nostalgic moments from our school days. Warm regards. Sajeev

Hi All,
 
Truly amazing pictures, memories of old days have come to life. I completely agree that I had no problems in identifying each and evry one of you. Although yes many of you have expanded " to quote the same correctly" " in width" but yes all he same faces and mannerisms too, I'am truly one of the unlucky ones who could not be in Kochi.
 
Yes Great to see all of you after 22 years and defenitely a nostalgic moment......
 
Warm Regards
Seema

Jaycee, adipoli captions!! Added depth and special effects to the 2D
pix - very creative indeed.

Job & Seema I am equally delighted that you could share our
sentiments. It seems that you are part of these pictures somehow.

By the by it was probably easier for you guys to recognize Rupesh from
the snaps; but Tsiji's existential crises doing the same in dimly lit
Caravan was heart rending :)

As for me, I think I could have recognized both the ladies if I bumped
into them on Broadway, but the gentlemen (with the exception of point
five)...that would have been tough! Jaycee is big (!!) and has an even
bigger bush on his upper lip - a common trait he shares with Rupesh &
Jethin. Jethin, as you would have noticed, is still camera shy and
rarely spoke once the ladies joined in (some things just don't
change).

Rafi and Rupesh are amply more three dimensional than during school
days. You can't squeeze them both into a chair anymore.

Couldn't help notice that the ladies didn't seem to have aged at all
;) and neither of them had beer bellies either (lol).

One thing was certain - we laughed our hearts out oblivious to the
crowd around us and we were happy in each others company. I think we
became school kids once again.

Yesterday once more - totally!

Thanks everyone!

Cheers!

John

Only one word - fantastic. Keep up the good job guys. And hey maybe we should try and chase up the other members of our batch. Would be nice to atleast see them active with messages and email. Once again, each and everyone of you must have gotten back into the daily grind and routine, however let me once again say well done guys and girls :-))))). Keep the SDA flag flying. Cheers and regards Sajeev

Hi all,

Feels relieved as no one objected to the captions.....
May add some more pictures with captions once I get back to Bangalore on 10th June.
Hello to Seema (your first posting in the group if I am not mistaken). Where are you at Bangalore?
I was planning to meet Reji P J today at his school at Kottarakkara but some last minute changes to my schedule.May not be able to make it during this visit.

Regards to all

Hi Jaycee, Saji and all,
 
Yes this is my first posting to the group sorry guys for not responding, yes I truly enjoyed the captions, ofcourse each of it would have made more sense if I was there with you guys.
 
I am unable to do so in office, I'm in Bangalore, I'm the Legal in house counsel for Levi Strauss India Pvt Ltd.
 
Hey good to chat with you Rupesh after so long, memories of good old days just flooded into my thoughts and brought tears to my eyes.
 
I guess those were the golden days!!!! hey BTW dont you all dare say there goes the girly cry!!!! especially you John! I can quite read ur thoughts!
 
Saji you have not changed a bit, expanded of course, but the most drastic difference was Rupesh! way to go man!! Rest all of you look quite the same may be a little mature....now.
 
Warm Regards
Seema

Hi jaisoorya,I am a bit surprised to hear that you had a late night party with some of our old buddies.It's nearly two decades since I've heard of them.Any way as Sajeev Job had said ask them to join the group so that we too join them for a party some time soon, God willing.
