College wears a deserted look since children have all gone away on Pongal holidays. The messes are closed and only the North-eastern students are there. Sometimes, I wonder why they are not invited over to their friends' homes. Could it be because they speak very heavily accented English? Could it be because of their food habits? Whatever, I really feel sorry that they are so far away from home and left to fend for themselves. However, they seem to be having good fun on their own.
There was a get together of the alumni of 1984 organised by Mrs. Vimala Rosaline of Civil Engineering at Hotel Star Holidays, Yercaud, last Saturday and Sunday. I believe there was a good turnout and everyone enjoyed the get together. Sometimes, it is nice to gather around a table or sit together and just chat about old times, I guess.
Sometime back, two or three weeks back, there was a Sanjay Kumarkayani of 1994 batch and I saw him proudly showing his friends who were with him, his name on the merit list of toppers displayed in the landing of the stircase from the main lounge in the admin block. Heard him tell the Principal that he was Vice President of Merryl and Lynch in US. Made one feel proud of the college.

Dear Prabakar, you do seem excited that you are getting some news about college. I can understand. Your happiness and encouragement will keep me going. This blog will have served its purpose if a good network of GCEians past and present is forged.
