Hi Swapan. Nice to hear from you. Sorry i missed out on your previous enquiries. I am fine pal. Hope you and yours are all well. Durga Puja starts from 27th Sept (Saptami), but nowadays in West Bengal it starts to warm up from Mahalaya itself. With a patronising CM, the clubs organising the Durga Pujas have started inaugurating the same on Chaturthi, which is on the 24th. Whwn do you plan to come to kolkata again. We must catch up this time.

Manny many happy returns of the day Suman.

Hi Subrata, except for the receding hairline, you are one of the few of 57 of 67 whose features are more or less in tact. Good to see you. Yes Unni's demise has been a great shock for all of us. We have an e-mail and WhatsApp group of our batchmates, in which Unni was very active except for the last 2 months before his demise. Wish you could join in by providing your contact details. If you can WhatsApp your details to my no (+91 9830025590) then we can bring you in the loop. In the meantime our batch is going to celebrate their 50th year of Passing Out from SXH, and have planned to visit Haz from 15 to 17 Dec, 2017. Which is also the weekend earmarked in the School Calendar as Old Boys' Reunion as also the School Sports Day on 15.12.17. It will be great if you can join. , Till date we have a confirmed group of 41, including spouses who are travelling to Haz for the event. Please send me your details so that I can update you on all that has been doing the rounds. All the best and take care. Warm regards, Sujit Sen

I was really saddened to hear about the passing of my friend Unni Nair. I recall with fondness how he would come and spend time with my brothers and me at Muri Railway station while we used to have this long wait for the Ranchi-Howrah Express to take us home to Kharagpur for the school holidays. Also the times we got to catch up while he was in IIT Kgp indulging in the simple pleasures of riding our bikes together on the roads and avenues of the railway colony and the IIT campus. I will also be eternally grateful to him for helping me in class with my struggles in Hindi. Rest in Peace my friend. You will live forever in our hearts and minds. My sincere condolences to his family.
