Guys thanks for all the kudos but what makes the meet worthwhile is the fact so many of you took the time to attend and meet up with classmates some of whom we have not met for years. The rest is incidental.Was good meeting up. For those that did not attend we are planning a meeting of all batch mates in 2016 when most of us will be 60 years old. For the Chennai crowd the consensus is to meet the first Friday of every year at the Alumni club. Those that don’t live in Chennai but are visiting at that time are most welcome.

Its those that stay outside Chennai that have to be thanked for enthusing us to pull this off. Hillol should be thanked for his constant inflow of info and encouragement through

mails, linkedin and facebook. Ganesh through mails and phone calls from the US and a lot of you others through the google group mails.  As discussed yesterday if any of you know the whereabouts and email of those that are not yet in the group, please send me the info and we can add to the group.Regards.

Dear Ranga and the organizers I think the following suggestion of having a meet in 2016 is very good.  The idea of having a meet once in 2 years is also good which would mean the next meeting will be in 2015. But pl decide on the date before the meeting fever dies. For people like us who are away from India, an early decision will  be good for planning our trips and vacation. ThanksMani Sankar (M.

Hi Friends, It was truly an emotional and memorable reunion on the 4th & 5th Jan 2013 when we had the opportunity of a life time to connect back with all our wonderful batch mates under one roof. We could sense the boundless energy & enthusiasm in the group that was fast catching up everyone during the celebration. The naughty and friendly conversations that we had, took me back by 35 years which made me feel like a 21 year old guy. Me and my wife Malligarani cherished each and every moment of your company and the fun we had.      I thank from the bottom of my heart Vijayakumar, Ranga, Prabhakar, Ramachandran, A V Suresh and Rohit for organizing a wonderful event on 4th and 5th Jan. Please pardon me if I have missed anyone’s name who was a part of the organizing committee.   Hope to meet you in 2016 including others who couldn’t make it for the 35th year reunion. Wishing you and your Family a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year.  Regards,
