VEDANTHANGAL 2010, the Alumni Day was held on 8 Aug 2010, at the college auditorium. 
I believe around 600 old students from 1986 -2005 turned up for the event. A few had even brought their families over. There were boys from Iraq, U.S, Germany and from all corners of India. 
One of the third year students, Uday, remarked with surprise writ large on his face ,'You know, there were government bigwigs who came with beacon lights in their vehicles who were dancing with us!!!' He also narrated how an old student asked for 'Kavimani' and Uday said, 'Kavimani sir' and the gentleman remarked, 'Unnakku vena principal, but ennakku ennoda classmate' and Uday was left speechless. I wish I could've seen Uday's face. He also noted that many of the former students are in such senior positions in such famous and well established companies, Indian and global that it is a revelaltion of the status of GCE in the world map. It was difficult for him to accept the dimension of the professional status of most of our former students.
The  sentimental journey to their Alma mater, re-establishing the bonds of friendship and reliving memories of places they had lived in, sat in and rejoiced in, was one that had been looked forward to by all the former students and also by the organisers,, who had worked like ants to make it a memorable day for them. 
I sadly missed it because of an important work on the home front.
