Some of the great friends assembled! The uncles and the aunties of today! See if you recognise all ! I am missing because since child hood I have been behind the camera !
















Me and Kamaljit Singh Chanay, discussing finer details of the menu, the night before, at Golmuri club lounge. Thanks to Manish Verma who arranged for the venue - a scenic lounge over viewing the Nildih Golf Course adjacent to the Golmuri Club.
Ultimately it was Satendra Nath Prasad who had actually finalised the details (he had done a great job - Sattu, we loved the food and the menu selection).

This event wouldn't have been possible without the active support, coordination and cooperation of Satendra, Manish, Kamaljit Singh Chanay.

The Team that assembled at Golmuri club on 25th Dec 2009 ! Some great photographers of next generation missing !

Friends it was fun ! Tons of laughter, a few sparkle in the eyes, a few glistening eyes, some droplets of tears of Happiness and bonding. We could finally meet after a year long search for long lost FREINDS. Thanks a ton to the host team of Jamshedpur and those who made it to Jamshedpur - inspite of all their engagements to make it a success ! We remembered many we missed many more the search s still on to make it a even better bigger event next time.

Hi Check these two gems contributed by Vibhu, I am sure you all have such treasures hidden somewhere in the attic please share them ! 

Sumanto

Vibhu Chatterjee

That was introduction by Vibhu

Dear Sumanto,
 
At the outset I must thank u and Kamaljeet for bringing all batchmates together.
 
Let me tell u what I did after leaving GHS.After doing plus 2 frm Rajendra Vidhyalaya, I went to AFMC for MBBS with a bond for a short service (5 yrs) in the Indian Army. During MBBS I met my husband Manas, and we got married in Dec 1991 .While I got my release from Army in Dec 1996, and went on to do PG in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and plunged in private practise, Manas is still continuing in Service and is presently posted as Associate Prof in the Department of Dermatology at AFMC and Command Hospital Pune.We have been blessed with a daughter, Puja who has just gone to 11 std. Army life is exciting. I could do Para jumps  during my short stint. Presently, I am working as Consultant Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Inlaks and Budhrani Hospital, Pune.Do visit us at Pune.
 
 
I have checked out the blogspot entries and was very happy to read how well everyone is doing.Venu, G V Rao,A V Mathews,Issac, Izhar, Uday, Satender, Anurag, Malathi and ofcouse kamaljeet and Sumanto.I have a very  clear memory of Sumanto - clad in starched kurta pyjama on the stage with his sitar  during every annual day function while we would be sweating in a cumbersome mask trying to look like a frog or a deer for the dance-drama
 
Malay, it's an earnest request; please send us Datar Mam's add/ ph no so that we can personally thank her for making us what we are today.
 
Malathi it was lovely to hear about you.Do visit us at Pune.
 
I must say Rakhi is looking very strict and authoritative.
 
I am sending a few photographs for you all.Try and guess as many names as u can.
 
Vibhu

D.Venu's self Intro

Introduction by D.Venu - finally
Dear Friends

Three cheers to Kamaljeet & Sumanto !! great work. If GHS 84 group does not exist then for many more years I would have been searching you all and also some one……

Let me briefly run through my life story past 1984- After my Engineering from REC Suratkal, Mangalore, I returned to Jamshedpur worked in TRF for 5 years and later joined L&T. Left Jamshedpur in the yr 1999 to Chennai, then Delhi and finally during my Hyderabad posting, I resigned and joined Windsor Machines Ltd, a Piramal group company. From 2003 till date I am working in the company. Moved from Pune, Mumbai and Ahmedabad in the early years. Now settled in Pune, as Head- National sales. My job assigned is sales and marketing, so traveling is inevitable, 20 days out, within India to all our regional offices at Delhi, Kol, Mum, Chennai, Hyd, Cochin, Blr. Fed up ho gaya !!! Life.

Let me explore for a new office at Dheradon. Don’t worry !! just joking !

Yes, my family life --------------
Married in the year 1996. My wife, Kalpana is from Bhubaneswar, had done her MA in Eco and Stats. With my life definition, she preferred to be at home. Rahul is now in class VI, studying in Bishop’s school, Pune.

Some of who know my bothers, Srinivas has settled in Chennai working with FFS a multi National and Eshwar settled in pune working with Cognigent, a software company. Parents presently at Chennai at Srinivas’s place.

The summary is : There is no time for SELF. Life has just become very mechanical.

My first meet after the success of this group formed was recently at Ahmedabad, with Anurag. Yaar Munda tho badal gaya. How shy and quite he was, I felt just the reverse. Had dinner at his place, yes few sips of whisky and we both shared our school days movements, some secrets which were told only then and asked to forget…..Enjoyed at his home with his family, very nice. In fact I was very happy to meet, Anurag’s mother too as I remember going to his house in Telco, Gadi park area and she used to greet me first… Great moments !

Sumanto, we were to meet on 20th of Dec at Ahmedabad, what happened.

Malay, being in Pune I always wished to meet, Dattar Madam, can you please call me or convey Madam’s address, r u also in pune, pl reply immediately.

Uday- How are you, miss you all a lot.

Issac – Pl call me over my phone – 09890577462, bahut gali dana hai tum ko………..Pune telco may kuch kam nehi hai kay, please plan to Pune once. Jamshedpur, I will plan to come this May, after 9 years.

Kamal- Thank you for your great work, without your efforts, we would be lost forever. Keep in touch over phone.

Manish – Let me tell to all my friends, after my engineering and my initial working days in Jamshedpur, it was Manish company where I used to spend most of my time, evenings. Telco club…..Great time….

I shall try to be over this chain regularly, please call me, atleast I can hear your voice will bring more pleasure of the times we moved around, freaked, bunked…

My phone – 09890577462, to all including you too…..
My next mail will carry my family photo’s, till then….

Malay Datar

MALAY DATAR'S INTRO NOTE
Ghosts of the past return to haunt, buried skeletons tumbling out,
That thing you swept under the carpet, is out in the open, hold your breath or you may choke,
Hiding beneath the bed that day, what did you see, I would like to know,
Blue skies crimson tinged, fiery eyeball, no shelter, escape,
That rainy day, torn raincoats, that slipper day, school bags hung to dry,
Whiff of spice, the shared lunch, diving eagle, catch me if you can,
Morning news, silent wait for the bell to ring, euphoria and escape,
Freedom to rejoice, soft coccoons of childhood silk, spinning webs and dreams,
That ambition and envy, washed away by the black of night, spotless hearts wake up,
Picnics, wet, hungry, tousled hair full of sand, tired, weary but elated, heaven,
Flutter in the stomach, butterfly wings, podium mike, await your turn,
A quiet place, the very corner, where walls meet, you are in but almost out,
Window, some one else's life and home, Another world out of bounds, during Hindi,
Story, incredible poetry and the way you said it, scarred for life softly, pleasure, joy,
Sun and moon, stars foretell, weatherman and farmer, soil, rocks, rivers weeps, changing paths and geography
Float and fly, gravity, in physics all things must fall, bubble and dissolve, pages of History, defy mathematics.
Guys,
Make what you will of the gibberish above. What it probably mean is that I am moved and touched and shaken and stirred. It has been a amazing time since I got a call from Sumanta and then talked with Satendra and Manish and then again Satendra and now all these mails whizzing around!!
Seems like yesterday that we were in school together. What times we had and what times they were. Any way......
My vote is for Winter 2009.

RegardsMalay
