dates and program

As mentioned in the classmates forum on face book the dates for the batch reunion has been finalized on 23, 24 and 25th december 2011.

These dates were chosen after much discussions and thought, since october was inconvinient to many staying abroad.

The only disadvantage of this day is the christmas, because of which our christian friends may have a second thought, but we hope they will be considerate enough to attend. maybe we shall include a small christmas function also in the program and church is not far away from the venue.

I personally request Shalini, who has already expressed her reservation on these dates to kindly not miss the batch get-together, we really did not have many other options. This christmas, spend with us.

As far as the program is concerned the event will be at Jindal guest house/ township which is at Torangal, 30 kms from Bellary on Hospet road

the stay is also at jindal township/resort which i am told has all the facilities and world class amenities for a memorable stay for the families.

A trip to Hampi is on the second day, 24th and the entire day on 25th will be at our college campus. this is just a broad outline of the get together and we all i am sure want to make as pleasantly memorable as our undergraduate days. This can be done only if we attend in good numbers with the families.

expect more exciting news on this blog, in days to come

Batch Meet at Bengalooru

Batch Photo

Posting our batch photo. Thanks to Dr. Laxmikar for sharing the photo.

As said earlier we did meet in bangalore on the 21 and 22 august and as usual there were last moment dropouts

Well it was at bangalore in one of the service apartments which had good facilities.

but as luck would have it it rained very heavily in and around bangalore that evening and traffic movement was very slow, delaying many of those who were to travel from outside Bangalore.

We did have fun and frolic with lots of leg pulling and catching up with one another till almost 3 am.

The plan was to visit a local picnic spot n the 22nd but rain played spoilsport.

Keshav did a lot of good work to organise this get together

Special attendees this time were Nagesh (thatha) who had come a few days earlier from US and

Lakshmi who landed in bangalore from US on the early morning of 22 aug

Both of them are exactly like what i had seen them many years ago

and after the exciting exchange of updates we sat down to discuss and plan the jubilee get together in oct 2011.

Briefly the plan in oct 2011 is a three day over the weekend, family get together in Bellary,

first day (friday) arrival introductions and a banquet dinner with some entertainment programme,

second day, a visit to a local water park

and the third day, going around the campus felicitating our teachers and donating something to the college

This donation is open to suggestions about what and how much to donate. expect you all to come up with good response and suggestion

Will post more information seeing the responses

a batch get together has ben organised on 21 and 22 august at bangalore

keshav is organising the venue and other arrangements. expecting more attendance this time than the one at chitradurga

further details shall follow
