Phillip,
Congratulations!!! Everyone seems thrilled at the effort the committee has put into the reunion.
Well done to you for the batch email which keeps everyone informed. Sorry I had to give a miss this year. I hope to be in SL with my son and family for 18 days doing a tour of the cultural sites. This is their second trip.
Regards
Kamalini

Hi all,
As children, some of us had months of growing
excitement about the nearing of Christmas.. Then we have all the fun on
one day; opening presents, eating too much, and in later years, drinking too
much and then snoozing on the sofa.. Boxing Day was a let-down. I
presume the arranging of your daughter’s wedding (we didn’t have the privilege
of doing it) was the same. Any one who has organised any event would have
gone through an year of planning and anxiety; the day comes and then goes in
the blinking of an eye. Guests enjoy it but had not lost a bead of sweat
or an ounce of fat from anxiety. The 50th Anniversary was no different.
All of us attendees had the time of our lives, and then went about our routine
activities and daily chores. I wanted to write immediately to each of the
organisers, but alas I moved away from the arena of fun and action, and never
had the courtesy to write and congratulate and thank the organisers.
Belatedly, the chain is moving; it may be a rollercoaster. But I now join
those who have openly expressed their thanks to the organisers. To me it
was special; I had attended only one, the one we organised in UK to mark
25. The enjoyment I had in June from meeting, trying to recognise, then
swapping stories from our past far exceeded my expectations. Yes, the
organisation was fab and of the highest order. Turning up alone for this get
together was an anxious and worrying predicament. Watching the pictures
of our colleagues, my dear wife and many close friends, listening to the
trilingual musical accompaniment was a tear-jerker. I cherished the
unimaginable friendship and support from Bella’s friends. The get
together was memorable; but for me, for a very different reason.
So belatedly, I join the others to thank each of the
organisers for giving up their time, and working damned hard – just for
us. Though I would definitely attend the next round of festivities, we
cannot expect the same group of workers to do it again in three years, two
years or one year, just for us
Thanks guys
Sunil

We actually
feel that after such a brilliant get together our batchmates will have no
hesitation in making the event once an year. The main purpose is to meet
again while the sun shines. All the very best Somaratna and Daphne.
