Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Dear Shyam and Irfan, I think we have already set the ball rolling. Shyam and Vijayashree are already in touch - the main aim now is to tap the networking capabilities of all contactable batchmates, and personally talk to / mail all of them. I'm not sure if I will be in Sewagram during the 83 batch reunion. Irfan, if you are going for the reunion, can you collect the list of batchmates and available contact info from Viju and send it to Shyam, Renuka, Nishi and me? Since we seem to be seen fairly often on this group, we can start with us, and each one of us can try to contact as many people as possible. Going by Shyam's capabililities at unearthing and motivating alumni, and his unflagging enthusiasm, he should easily surpass all of us in this venture !!

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Dear Shyam, Irfan, Prabha You should pick Poonam's brains for tips about tracing people; she did a fantastic job for our reunion and managed to get in touch with almost everyone. I found Google quite helpful as well. I met up with Amol Kulkarni recently and he is aware of your reunion next year. In fact, he is a member of this group so may be reading this anyway.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 Thanks Nadu for the tip. Shall keep that in mind. I have noticed one thing though, MGIMS couples attend the re-unions only for one batch, i.e like Anu from NZ will not attend the meet this year coz she had attended one with Fali last year. Well, people like Shyam are lucky to go for once only. I feel lucky and would love to attend for both years. Nadu, 82 batch didnt invite me or else, I would have been there too.!!! Had many friends like you. Irfan ASHOK SINHA: My CGN status > > > > Recently I converted my car to CNG.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Arre yaar, Irfan. Tu to Bharat mein rehke firang ban gaya!! Remember, friends don't have to wait for invitations, only a bit of advance warning to prepare for their visit. But this seems to be a particular affliction where 84 batch is concerned: Prabha and Shyam came to the UK but only told me after they had left....what's the point of that?!!! And Ashok came over without any warning and was left wandering in London on his own, when I was in the city as well and could have met up with his earlier. So if you are heading this way let us know in advance. And I'll remind my batch to invite you, as an honorary member, for the 50th year reunion!! Regards Nadu'82 Dr MURTAZA AMRELIWALA wrote: Thanks Nadu for the tip. Shall keep that in mind. I have noticed one thing though, MGIMS couples attend the re-unions only for one batch, i.e like Anu from NZ will not attend the meet this year coz she had attended one with Fali last year. Well, people like Shyam are lucky to go for once only. I feel lucky and would love to attend for both years. Nadu, 82 batch didnt invite me or else, I would have been there too.!!!
