The season for organised gettogethers seems to be August as most abroad have holidays and they pine for seeing all the old ones they have not met for a long long time and spend time
The localites see each others naturally at weddings for work and different reasons
this trip has all been about getotgethers
the first was one at chennai where classmates ( six of us have managed to stay very close ) got together hired a house with a pool and someone to cook and had fun the kids enjoyed it too
Quite remarkable to stay this close as we have been in diff places and across continents as well
The next was at Erode where a small gathering planned by local batch mates was hijacked by people from abroad and also cbe guys all of whom didnt arrange one so far with excuses as I dont have the time etc
it was great and had loads of fun singing and telling stories some strange ones too
and it was all free thanks to pharma industries as well got some takeaway gifts as well !!
seems like attending a class again
the somber moment was when we realised we had already lost 6 of our class mates due to varied factors
the next was with lalli aunty at home kalai, mama,athai,sajit,goutham,chinnababy aunty came as well
Lalli Aunty was the star with her abounding cheer never ending enthuisiam and honestly she must be on speed - an illegal drug - really making well with her second life God bless her ,
Aswatha cooked most of the dishes and turned out well putting in her culinary classes to good use
cream tomato soup
panneer tikka
stuffed chilli curry
stuffed paratha
and some baskin robbins ice cream
sajit and nandhika took the two whole containers at the end
couldnt make out if they had washed it or licked it clean when it was returned later !
and a overnight one with Rams and a couple of my friends staying at a hotel in ooty
was great fun as well
Should plan for a family one sometime in december any takers
Ravi
PS Nandhika is doing her dance arangetram in October please try and plan for it
date will be announced soon maybe a nice gathering as well
