Dear Friends,
I am sending along with the details of the Annual Re-union meeting of K J Somaiya College of Engineering which was held on January 27, 2002.
The program was scheduled to start at 3.30 pm with Sameer Somaiya, PM Kavadia and Swadesh (an Ex-student from 1985 batch Prod) as the dignitaries but I am not sure when it started cos as usual I reached late ie around 4.30 pm.
At the Registration counter, there was a huge Banner proclaiming "Are u a part of Symphony 2002". As a matter of curiosity, I inquired at the Registration counter regarding the dates of Symphony. But those guys did not have any idea. So, I asked them if they were from Somaiya. One of them answered that he was from the 3rd Year and the other person was a Professor !!
As usual, we sat through the lectures by Sameer, Dr Munshi (now the Vice Princi), Shri V "Mhanje" Domkudwar, Swadhesh and Shri PM Kavadia. All the above were boring as usual.
This was followed by a lecture on "Rise & Fall of Dotcom" for which hardly any people stayed back. We were sitting in the Canteen (which has changed a lot) sipping good Coffee (there was no water so he had only used pure milk !!!). We were joined by Shetty Sir, SS Sahare and Prof Gilke. Sudhish prefered to stick to Ashok discussing the College events.
We were then called for an Entertainment session where people were supposed to perform. It all began with the rendition of Shayari by Prof Prashant Jain (of FM Lab fame). He was actually the host for the evening and took every opportunity to release some of his built-up frustrations.
Next up was a dance by two girls from the Juniors batch. It was quite OK cos we were informed that the dance was planned within a span of 2 days. Well, have to accept a fact that the no. of girl students has surely increased in KJSC cos even Ashok wasn't aware that the girls were from our College (which was a great surprise).
After that thanks to the masti by Nikhil Anthony, the undersigned was asked to sing a song. Well, I did oblige but wound up the same abruptly cos I didn't have the "Source of Inspiration", which was there in the good old days. Nothing great about my performance but was quite OK by my own standards.
The next attraction was the song/ joke/ rip-off by Shri Yelpale on a popular Hindi pop number in different styles ranging from Gazals - Bhajan - Classical - etc etc. The best part was the Mimicry in the background (by none other than the undersigned) imitating the Parrots and the Hen's voice. Got to admit (the timing was perfect !!).
Shri Prashant Jain concluded with his last Shayari and we all proceeded to have refreshments which was Ragda Pattice with lots of Gulab Jambun.
Prof. Domkundwar (during refreshments) came in enquiring in general. I asked him about this years Symphony and he replied that "this yrs Council was hell bent on having the best Symphony till date cos it was a question of their prestige".
Hope they stay up to his expectations.
The other professors present were Prof BuMPy, Mrs Divya Padmanabhan, Prof Kumthekar, the Librarian, Prof Rao and some more.
The other students present were Sudhish (Mech 98), Abhijit Bhandarkar, Nikhil Anthony, Pramodh, Rajat, Jyoti, Jasma and the batch.
All in all a great evening spent between friends and reliving some great moments from the past but I did miss all u people. It was also great to see that people still remember u after such a long time cos it's been 2 1/2 year since we left college but some of the Juniors still knew my name (it was quite a surprise). Ditto with the Professors !!
Mail me back your comments on the same, if any.
Regards,
Sandeep
PS: The college is half painted with a provision for the lift (board put up by OTIS), hopefully to be completed by March 20??'. The first coat of paint has already began peeling off.
The Prod batch has been terminated from last year.
Symphony 2002 is scheduled for the first week of March 2002
