Here's a toast from Vikram Merchant that epitomizes the spirit of the class of '73 and succinctly captures the mood for the november weekend reunion. The party was unofficially launched last night and hosted by maestro Viks: "Outstanding evening! Nina, Jo, Rashmi, Neville, Mandy and master of memories, Behram, were the stars. Rupande made a fleeting appearance. Viks and I were adjudicators. Enjoy, Vikram."

It seems that the lapse of 3 decades amounts to nothing. A super evening thanks to big hearts and long memories. Enjoyed guys!Rashmi
ReplyDeleteI will raise my beer stein in a virtual cheers for the Class of ’73 as I sit here sipping a few cold ones this weekend.
ReplyDeleteAhuja looks pretty much the same apart from the thicker waist,
ReplyDeleteMerchy speaks with modulated tone and still has refined taste,
Jo is as we remember her businesslike and brisk,
While to comment on Neville then versus now I simply cannot risk!
Rupande's face looks older now by a year or two,
But Rungta is frozen in time circa 1972!
Rashmi and Nina the Barham beauts have barely changed at all,
Mandu's still the smiling kid and still having a ball!
But as for me, I've aged a ton ,no hair, less teeth,no tact!
We met again on Saturday and found our bonds intact!
Behram Gamadia
The cats' spirit lives on! more to come....
ReplyDeleteBehram...brilliant ...you are now officialy the resident port of the batch of 73...cheers old friend
ReplyDeletepoet not port....sorry
ReplyDeleteBehram you remember me being "business like and brisk"?? Now that's a new one! But yes, getting you guys to focus on some of the work that needed to be done...I had to don that hat this weekend. Have to admit tho... beautifully written -Behram Wordsworth Gamadia.. way to go!
ReplyDeleteBehram, you write poetry...! and I thought rajeev was the only Dylan in our midst, how great... Jo, Viks, Nina, all you guys, through last night, did he speak as he writes..?
ReplyDeleteHe speaks 10 times more than he writes.. had us in splits with impersonations of Patki, Jacob, Rao, Lewis... such fond memories all..
ReplyDeleteBehram and Munna Two with such eloquence in one batch We just have to be the best. I must say that the guys have mellowed a teensy bit and allowed us gals to get a few words in sideways. And it felt like guys and gals again No half a century behind us. A lovely evening mmmm!
