Good Friday & School Reunion - April 6, 2007.

Attended the morning Malayalam mass so that I cud attend the school reunion in the afternoon. The mass was a bit long as compared to my expectation and had The Way of The Cross in the form of a long procession. Chatted with Jitin, an MBA from IMTGhaziabad, for some time. He got placed with Satyam.

Came back all excited about the reunion, as even I had played a role in coordinating it over orkut. It was bit difficult to believe that we could plan out the reunion in just a week n by the responses on orkut, it seemed that there was a fair probability that attendance wud b good. But the real test of our efforts could be known only when we all met.

Had my lunch at home just to hedge the risk of people turning up late as I had fast that day. Also it cud help me reduce my expense(..though it turned out to be wrong, everyone had a sumptuous meal for 100 bucks!!)

Left by 12.45 in DTC 971. reached school by 1.30.

Deepika Ghai was the first person to turn up by 1.40, followed by Dimple Garg, Jyoti Jain & Gaurav Aggarwal.

By 2 there was a good strength n by 2.15 we decide to go to Metro Walk for lunch.

Siddharth Goel joined us for a short while at the school….was buzy but took some time out to meet us. He also called up Shubahm Gupta & Neha Jain and I had a talk with them. I was happy for his kind gesture. Dikshith Malhotra & Ayush Sharma also joined us for some moments.

We reached Metro Walk for our lunch. Some of the students had snacks at the food court n then we proceeded to Yo!China for our lunch n the talking part of the meet. People complimented me that I had changed for the better as now I was taking quite a lot as compared to the Nishal they knew 5 years ago.

Had a real good time recollecting school memories, our teaches, the classes etc..

Most importantly was feeling good that out efforts had borne fruits, 20 odd people at first attempt didn’t seem bad at all…..
