Our Teachers

Can one really describe the feeling of meeting one's school teachers after over 30 years? Well I for one won't be able to! The joy of meeting the ones that have taught us in school elicited different responses from various guys who had gone to invite them. Some remembered a mild mannered teacher who had slapped him ( obviously for some mischief ) while another remembered the amount of punishment he had taken from another. Yet a few remembered what was taught in class by another Sir. Well guys when we felt such great pleasure in meeting them individually imagine what will happen when we meet them to-gether on the 3rd of Dec 2010.
About the programme on the 3rd and subsequent days there is a slight change in the agenda which Ravi Kakati will update shortly.
Viva ELITE 79!

School Friends

Wow! It was lovely to get in touch with school batchmates whom you could not recognise if you met them at any street corner. Well Raman was a famous guy being the best boy and all. Of course we could not forget our house commanders : Raman, Rohit, Jagadish, Unfortunately I do not remember the Red House guy. I hope he does not punch me in the face for forgetting his name. In any case I am sure that Raman will save me in that eventuality.
Guys it has been great to do my bit to help make the reunion on 3rd of Dec a great event. Thanks to the other members of the team mainly Ramangouda Timmanaikar, Ravi Kakati, Anthony Vaz ( even though he is incapicitated, he put me in touch with Raman & others), Fazal Mujawar, Rohit Deshapande, Ajay Patil, Nitin Belvi, Sunil Korde, Harish Gulbani, Lt. Col. Maxual Roberts,Oliver D'souza (Who has created this blog), Shashi Chiniwar and a host of others. This friends is only for for the 3rd of Dec. There are a host of other pals like Ramesh Odugoudar, Subhash Nadgouda, who do not come to my mind now but have contributed in no small measure.
Well Guys keep the spirit. Our batch of 79 is unique! Let us keep it that way!

 'School corridor'....a haven for the tired and weary and a unchanging temporary destination of the mischievous....

150 yrs Celebration


Mr Shyam... does anyone EVER remember the man being angry?...highly unlikely! and he's still the same...even when we met him few days ago...through the decades he's seen them all ...the good, the bad and the ugly.....and he's still there plodding on...

Canteen Swamy

Ek Bonda dena please :-)

Ambrose the GREAT !!

..Imprinted in his eyes, his graying hair and mustache and in the lines on his face are the years he's dedicated to thousands of students...

...and here's his reward from providence: his daughter is a business management graduate, that too a topper!
