Having contributed very rarely to this forum, let me begin with a quick introduction.
My batch of "88 will be celebrating 20 years of graduation from the University and hopefully we will get together for an Alumni meet this year in the University. Anyone from my batch please reach out so that I can include you in our ritual of email traffic that about sixteen of us are on now. My batch had about 120 mates, a few dead now and a few others disinterested but hopefully some who will join in. It will be great to get together even if for a brief spell and see if we have aged well.

I shared this story which perhaps some of you already know about with my batch mates, yes we are in touch over all these exacting years of Corporate and family life. As you pass the ladies hostel ( hopefully still in the same place where it was in our years, unlike our department which was in the English department facility in 1988) and you men folk look wistfully inside remember, this is holy ground folks where battles greater than young love lives.

Its great to Shashank represent our batch well in the various forums at the University. He has been a great source of cheer for us during our years there. We ofcourse have views on him, not all charitable, but hey that what friends are about, right?

Cheers
