To,Murtaza...and my 84 batchmates..

[Guest guest]

Hello Friend,

Do not worry,my friend..

By hook or crook...I will atleast..superseed the attendance of '83 batch...and

,if I see a drop,I shall be there..a good 2 weeks before,the reunion,to see

that..our attendance..is upto the mark.

Worry not..(although,I am eager..to even come down..now.,.but my job..stops

me..from over-reacting)...

I shall try my level best..to get the most...and while I am searching..the

brother-cousin sis..duo..Atul and Madhabi Deb Burmans..and Rupendra Thokchom.,in

the Northeast frontier,u may attend..and enjoy..being...the 16th Hon member..of

the ' 83 batch..at their reunion..

Actually,I feel,83 batch..never...had..the love(sorry Ashish..not u..but,I am

pointing at some..specific..students)..for MGIMS..and for them,it was..a

place..to complete their 4 and 1/2 yr prison time...before moving out...and

so,to return back to the same Prison,EXCEPT,Gandhiji..and Mandela..I am

not sure,many...would opt for..hence..the...lacklustre..attendance.

But with.apun ka.'84batch..

IT was ONE BIG PARTY..those 4 and 1/2 formative yrs...and we literally took in

each and every word,which my dear Prof,of 1st MBBS,Prof KN IngleySir,had

said..at the outright..

" Students.MBBS..years..in Sewagram..will be 100% fun,....except the days of

examinations..and so have a great time " ...

Which,I bet,most of us..did..

Bye.
