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.

IZHAR Now

This is how Izhar Looks now, He is workn in TATA Reyrson at Jamshedpur, in my last trip to Jsr Dec-08 had visited his office

WE in Class 3

Our class photo of STD - III, before the "Sishu Vidyalaya" team joined us and became part of our lives forever. Can you recognise & name all of them? Ask me if you can't

A. V. Mathews

This is from Mathews (he was called A.V / bulb – short of “bulb fuse” which rhymed with his surname. Those days we had a group “Hal- bal- kal-al short for Halwa puri, Bulbfuse, Kaluwa (the dark one that was me) and AL short form of Anil Singh). He was the first one I traced through namesdatabase.com two years ago, along with Uday.

Hi everyone,
This was really nice. Nice to see Uday and Sumonto again (Of course the pictures). Such a wonderful e-mail to read on a Sunday. Yes I do remember my time with you guys at the Gulmohar. If I am not exaggerating the last years at Gulmohar remains as some of the best years in my life. Actually I long to get back to GS and see how it is now.

As Sumonto wrote, we have much to catch up with. After my +2 at Chinmoya school I did my first year B.sc Chemistry at the Gandhi University in Kerala. This time in Kerala brought big change in my life. I became a believing and practicing Christian.

But in 1988 I got in IHM Calcutta. I did my 3 years there and in 1991 got the job as Manager of a hotel called Circular Hotel in Calcutta. While I was there I had some contacts with Sumonto. In 1992 I met a Norwegian girl called Heidi who was working at the Missionaries of Charity (Mother Teresa’s mission). In 1993 we got engaged in India and I moved to Oslo, Norway, where we got married. Next year I started studying Theology and did my degree in Theology. From 1998-2000 I worked as a preacher around Norway in a Norwegian church but in 2000 I started working in the Danish bank. I worked there 4 years before I started my own business with a supermarket and a café. After 3.5 years we sold the business and started working as the “In charge of salary department” this year in a construction company.

In the mean time we did produce 5 children (there are only 4 million people in this country, I had to help them increase the population). That was us here in Norway but if there will be a gathering any time at the School I will really take the pain to come all the way from the land of midnight sun.

I do have contact with Akhilesh Bharati. He is in the US with the IBM I think. Here is his e- post akhilesh.bharati@gmail.com tel. 0014802489017 cell 0014807472441. Add him too to the mail chain.
Here are some more pictures of my family. Please do reply.
