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

JDA Trip

Yes, just like other batches we also went for trips during our graduation.

In the first year we went to Hospet and Hampi. And in next year we went to a lovely locale of Kemmannugundi.

Here I am posting some of the pictures of our JDA trip to Donimalai and Naarihalla Dam near Sandur.

I am sorry, I don't remember the exact date of the trip; over to Venkatesh Prasad, he is able to tell the exact date and time!!!

I think Umesh Babu had lost his guitar in deep waters, but he could not prevent himself playing the guitar, so he was acting so.

Deepak and Dinesh were dancing for his number. But why Ramesh is jumping out? Was the tune sounded so horrible?!

Rajshekhar was looking like a Sardarji!!!

Picture quiz!! Identify these two showing their back.

Clue: Both were residents of 16th block.

12 th march '92 the last day

well friends

the blog has been quiet for some time now but it is good to see the number of followers are increasing by the day

would like to see you response and comments to each post

by the way 12 march 1992 was the last day for most of us in the campus as it was on this day that we completed the internship and probably left for home permanently with heavy hearts of course and eyes just short of welling tears.

I do remember the day when few of my juniors gave us the best send off party

and i am sure most of you have some story to tell about that last day

"Flash" back

This is the very place where we matured, metamorphosed, brewed, got screwed; Medical College, Bellary.

View from the most famous 'somaari katte' of 16th block.

They will be ever with us….

Friends,

This post is in the memory of our friends who touched our hearts and left us too early.

They will be ever with us….

silver jubilee meet

dear friends, the chitradurga meet was being planned from last 6 months and finally materialised in feb. the attendance could have been better but for a few last moment drop outs and also due to personal reasons for some.

the silver jubilee meet is being planned in october 2011 which means it is almost 20 months away and i hope this is sufficient time to plan the family leave and attend this without fail

there is a lot to be planned and chalked out and everyone is welcome to suggest.

we did discuss a few points during the meet in broad outlines which i will post in the next blog

for now i think there is enough food for thought and will be expecting feedback from all of you

Chitradurga Meet Photos

Chitradurga meet; Comments by Venkatesh Prasad in Facebook

The small batch get together that happened on 13/14 Feb at Chitradurga was a fun filled event which everyone enjoyed and are looking forward for a bigger get together next year.it was very nicely planned and arranged by Vedamurthy, NS Prasanna, GK Mahesh. we did miss Veda in particular as he was unable to attend due to the sad demise of hi FIL a day prior.We also did miss many of our other friends who could not attend and who dropped out in the last momentA surprise attendance was Rajalaxmi whom many had not expected and a few also believed her to be daughter of one of our batch mates when mischievously introduced soWe all assembled around 7 pm at Amogh International Chitradurga and after freshening up we left for the party at a farmhouse about 5 km away where everyone traveled back in time to Bellary days.A few became chith, a few stupid, another few were still sober but everyone freaked out. The part went on till 1 am at farmhouse and continued further far a little while back at the lodge.The rest will follow in part two.

First mail

Dear friends,

Finally here we are. Next year, 2011 is the silver jubilee celebration of the Bellary Medical College Silver Jubilee batch, the Batch of 1986.

And we have to make the celebration a grand success.

Preparations have already been started. First meeting of the batch was held on 13th and 14th of Feb 2010 at Chitradurga. All the friends who gathered had a great time; celebrated, enjoyed, boozed, dozed, snoozed. Thanks to Prasanna, GK Mahesh and Vedamoorthy who took a lot of trouble in organizing the event.

At the same time I would like express my deep condolences on behalf all of you for the untimely demise of father in law of Vedamurthy on the previous day of the event.

I am posting the photos and videos taken by Venkatesh Prasad and Papanaik.

Next we are going to meet once in again in August in Bellary. Venue may change to Bangalore with consensus. I will keep you updated.

Keep posting the comments.

Bye, take care.

Umashankar
