This handsome person makes me envious, heis our dear friend Anil Kr Singh, his first mail to us after many many years; he wrote was -

Jism Ruh Ke Bina

Insaan Chahat Ke Bina

Husn Tareef Ke Bina

Phool Khusbu Ke Bina

Aur Hum Udas Hai Aapke Bina.

and some more...

HI friends - behold the first view of Akhilesh Bharati after 26 years, since 1984. With me, Bidyut & Subrata at Kolkata

This is one pic I have in my personal possession, with my class teacher for 5 consecutive years Ms Krishna Hore. It was nice to meet her in person after 25 years in Dec 2009

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.
