Hey all,
Hope all of u are doing fine! First off, my sincere apologies to Mr.Arul! Arul - I'm extremeeeely sorry man, just couldn't catch up with you on the phone! Timing wasn't right....and ahem, sir - whenever I tried to reach you, it went to the vm as well! So there - we are even now! LOL! But, glad to hear you had a good trip & over the jet lag now....I know u will laugh at this but still would love to ask you - when r u heading to the US next?? Promise, I'm gonna leave u a dozen voicemails....LOLLL! Ok, seriously, I'll talk to u...let me know! :)
Sorry, unable to recall that play & music stuff that Arul mentioned....but, I do remember that only 3 girls were asked to sit in the last bench of "an all boys row"....that was me, Bhanu & & &......gosh, can't remember her name....was it Sheela B.A....hmmm, not sure....Satish BK was sitting just 2 rows ahead of us. What made the teacher send us 3 girls to the other side - well, my best guess would be because we would yap a lot! Bhanu and me would eye that guy Vishal Shroff (the shy guy) & Avinash (he was the plumper one). Our bad luck, those boys would never even say hi! Bah! What selfish guys! ;) But, school days were the best! I still remember our English teachers Anuradha, Roopashree, Sarna ma'am for Hindi, Poorna ma'am for Math, Rajarajeshwari ma'am for Kannada, Ms.Akkamma for History, Ms.Usha for Geography - wow, these two were the real strict teachers!!! Mrs.Radha Krishanamoorthy - she was our English teacher in 7th grade....Chitra ma'am for biology...GKM sir for physics! Of course, the unforgettable Mr.Girish for Chemistry!! :) So, is he in the US now.....
Now for the students list....
Now for the students list....
Sharan was the rebel kind....Syed was more quiet....Arul - u were talkative man! I still remember the day when Kamala and myself came over to ur home for lunch! Not sure if you folks remember Arun Prakash....we had been to his home for lunch too & spent our time exploring the "jungle like" backyard....wow, those were the days! Wait, a whole bunch of you came over to my home too for lunch - guess, that was Kamala, Sandhya, Arul, Nisha, Sowmya, Rajsimha, Sharan, Arun Prakash, Padmapriya etc....guess it was a hot summer day & we drank hot tea too! LOLLL!
The goody goody* ppl in the class were - Vidyut, Shivananda, Nandan, Chandrika, Cini, Minal, Venkatesh, Roopa Bhandarkar (goody goody matlab, sirf studying and no talking!!!).
Oh, Raja Bose, Rajsimha, Sharan, Arul, Kaif, Syed - I think u guys formed one team! The brainy & the rowdy!!! LOLLL!
We need to track down so many ppl! Ok, before all of u doze off reading this post, I'll stop! But, seriously, we gotta have a reunion....somewhere, somehow! Now the rest of u, wake up & write something! And pls, do comment for my post as well ;) :)
Oh, attached is the pic of my 5yr old son (he was dressed as a pirate for Halloween)....this is an older pic, he has grown a bit more taller now & has become more tanned - courtesy, summer!!!!
Tk care folks & keep writing! Cheers!

Hi all,
Hey Arul, I didn't hear from you when you were here. Give me Bala's number in Atlanta. Badri and he can get in touch as well.
Do you guys know that Chitra's husband passed away during the summer of 1990, just as we had passed out of school. He Gopi, Sharan and I had been to her place to offer our condolences. It was heart renching though and as teenagers very ill equiped to handle such situations.
I don't seem to remember many of our classmates so much. I have been trying to remember the boys from Rashmi's list - failed miserably.
Chintu,CD is talking about guys from SSLC,where all the misfits were sent...we were in the ICSE..the elite batch...so no wonder u dont remember the guys and by then most of u were all a studious bunch and mug pots as it was 10th..
Nope i was in Portland just for 3 days..one for getting over the jet lag..one for the meetings and one for packing up and taking the flight back...but i did get a chance to meet one of very very old friends at the SFO airport for about 15 minutes..but my next meeting is in SFO area itself...so could be will catch up with the folks i know out there...Balas no.is 3053083777..i had scrapped Badri that i could be there in Atl this time and would call him up but unfortunately no travel to the east this time ...well talked to sharan yday about something he wanted done thats all..How is Gopi now and he somewhere in the USA...do u kknow where..
I have no idea where Gopi is. Sandy told me that he was in the US but no idea where. Maybe we need to search for him.
ok cool..that would be a good option..sharan would be the best bet..but u know sharan better so lets give it a shot..
