Friends,
It has been quite some time now since my last post that I have had the occasion to share something on our page. So let’s start at the starting block. We are meeting on 13.11.2011. The venue is our familiar Yamuna Bhavan.
The year that has gone by has not quite been eventful. But the external world has had so many things to keep the members busy that the association couldn’t really churn up enough activities to adorn the site. But then lots of things happened in a quiet manner that have taken us a few steps forward. Steps that due to various reasons had become so weighty that we were better off by not taking any. However, due to efforts of some of our fellow alumni the weights are now off. And the net result is that our alma mater is ready to recognise its alumni. In the media perlance it could also be described as track II diplomacy.
Those who have followed and been with the process over the last few years know from their heart how difficult it has been to keep the association going. But the enormous emotional pull that our alma mater has for all of us provided the necessary traction to keep us moving. From 2006 to today, it has been a journey over a mere five years. but for those who have incubated and craddled the baby it has been a tiring journey. To say that it has only been tiring would be to put a wrong focus on the entire effort. It has also been rewarding beyond imagination. To create the bridge across generations has not been easy. But the network that has expanded has been hugely satisfying.
There are regrets though. And that’s natural. But the most important regret is the silence that we are witnessing on the pages of this site. More of this when we meet.
Regards
Suparna Pathak
