.....longawaited Re union....

......as frnds re unite in Patna for the 1984 batch ,can't hide my feelings....after all, a minimum of 8 yrs were invested in togetherness of studentship & camaraderie......8 yrs is long frnds, do not mind the delay of our course completion.....we stuck together longer & definitely learnt more.....I was so fascinated by Patna University with its haloed status nd my Science College tenure ,I was nothing but awe struck....this followed PMCH nd the legacy continued of good environment ,teachers ,nd highly esteemed colleagues....we all developed our existing skills there nd did well.....my idea of PMCH was an institution where I could pick up the very basic tools for eking out a modest ,decent, dignified living, learning the basic trade nd putting it into practice as soon as I passed out....in that extent I succeeded nd never felt short in confidence ever in profession.....in fact, the haloed status aft MDAT, which catapulted me to the Haloed Institute...pitched with all the sharpest brains around....went a long long way in providing the necessary fillip to an ever learning & ever improving career.....after stepping out its been North nd North nd North thereafter, as many of my distinguished frnds hv found similar status in their careers....!!!!.....such is the glory of PMCH & its Environs....proper competitive environment is the rt tonic for growth nd shud be laced with a legacy.....the Riverside blocks, the heritage bldng of wards....the long list of distinguished Alumnus is the rt.arena for an investment of Confidence in Life....come wht may u will shine.....if u hv these credentials.....seeing frnds together in animated deliberations @ meet, gives a deep sense of satisfaction as to the strength of our roots.....I feel lucky wht GOD bestowed in one moment of his unfathomable kindness....!!!!

.......India as seen abroad....

.......the streets r dry, with Rain Gods finally signing out.....o wht a spell of showers 'twas....!!!...nearly nine mths.....the Majlis elections r round the corner......with enthusiasm slightly subdued as compared to the Presidential....hordes of tourists frm EU,Japan ,China,India r pouring in & out ....nd all r in business......the atmosphere healthy.....!!......Emirates set up a large office nd the Mid east traffic is no less....small operators like Tiger Air, with focus on Indonesia & Phillipines r setting up operations.....MegaMaldives are having exclusive flts to Dalian & Shanghai....nd in no time the china circuit is doing well....much to our consternation & discomfort,little Nanu wud tease Doel nd call her Chinese b'cos of her skin color,as the kid wud see hordes of Chinese tourists frm China mainland....Spice jet with flts to Del via Kochi is a suitable alternative for us....though we prefer the BLR route since Bangalore is our 2nd home in India....nd the springboard for our Expat status, now for a long time.....love the City nd Mysore for its ambient weather.....the abandon feeling of landing there frm Maldives Islands is v spl. to all of us.....aft. all its our Land.....!!!!...our own people.....!!!!
