Post Re-union 2003

Dated: February 10th 2003

Dear Friends,

It's a pleasure to be back with U after a week-long break......... hopefully the weekend's been good for U ......... this week seems to be even shorter (in India) with a Bank holiday scheduled for this Thursday for the event of Bakri-Id !!

Something that I missed last time, Symphony 2003 is sheduled for March 21st, 22nd and 23rd 2003......... over a period of three days ....(Obviously !!) in KJSCoE.

Thanx for the response to my last mail on the Re-union........ it's surprising that even though people read the mailers, it's a rare exception that someone would take the trouble to reply !!

So let me attempt and capture some of the responses I had for my last mail........
Mustafa Rawat (BE Mech 1999): Mustafa says ..........."I finally decided to come out in the open, still working on my MS thesis, coursework is complete, looking for a job but don't see that happening anytime, so Maybe you will be seeing me sooner than expected."
Vinil K (BE Prod 2000): Vinil says........"It was nice reading your email abt the Reunion. Its really funny how atleast in Mumbai colleges we do not have a nice practice of having the alumini involved in college. (Atleast in KJSCE, this is true)
Had been to college just b4 I left, well maybe the asthetics have changed with paint and lift and all, but my good friend, the attitude, such a crucial part in becoming a great college has not. I met Yelu, he was the same as before, Used to Crib in my SE, now its 5 yrs and he still cribs. Munshi, BMP always seemed to hate the politics of our college and surprisingly that also has not changed. THey just seem to have a dull existance now. "
Anup Bandivdekar (BE Mech 1998): Anup says......"Thanks for your report, it is really appreciated. I am currently in Cambridge, Massachusetts at MIT. I am in the Technology and Policy Program and currently working with Prof. John Heywood in the Sloan Automotive Lab. I will be here for another couple of years. Just by fluke, I ran into Ashish Vora (Mech '98) last weekend, who is currrently on an assignment in Rhode Island."Hey Anup, I remember Ashish Vora......... we used to call him the "Laughing Don" cos he used to always Laugh........and that was such a laughter......!!
George Abraham (BE Mech 1998): George says........."Hope you have some memory of me!! I read a forward of your email regarding the reunion of Somaiyaites. Brought back some memories man!!! I am still reeling from the news that the college has been painted! Anyway, thanks a million for taking the time out and actually writing such a long email!Hey George.....of coure I remember U......... and remember the time when Ranbare (from our Work-shop) used to call U........"Gor-gay" !! The were legendary statements......... never meant to be forgotten !!
Hey people, it feels great to hear from U all. I was chatting with Mandira and Parshuram Zantye sometime back, and we were just re-living some of those old times............discussing our Love-lifes and in general discussing the good old days............... !!
Mandira, Congratulations for Ur placement at GE-SBI, Gurgaon..........as I told U, Hamare "Gaon" ko tumhari jarrorat hai........... and I am waiting for the treat !!
A lot of people have enquired abt my schedule for "Tying the knot", so just to update U: the process has already been initiated and think something will get finalised very soon............. will update U on the same in the next mail........ !!
And I also came across the KJSCE web-site listing the Alumni databse at http://www.kjsc.ac.in/ and I am attaching an html file showing the Alumni List........ Raghu, please check if U can use these details...........
Please find attached a photo from our friend Rahul's marriage......
Photograph from Runa Saraswat with her roomie...............
Photograph of "The Gang" at Vinil's B'day party..............
The World Cup has started and I am sure it's going to keep a lot of us glued to the TV Sets................!!

So people, till the next time I see U & talk to U............Just Chill Out !!

With Regards,

Sandeep Narayan
