Many joys come and go but friendship is forever
After passing out of National High School, Basavanagudi, Bangalore in the year 1985, anxiety, excitement regarding each one's future separated all friends from one another that studied together, played together, bullied each other and what not. Some pursued higher education while some took up driver's seat in their family business, and some moved on to different cities or Countries. None of them had any clue about each other....except few that occasionally stayed in contact with one another.
Years passed by and each one of them moved on helplessly surrendered to the challenges in their life with wonderful memories of school days buried under the ash.
None imagined that one fine day the good memories of their School days would haunt them back till they realized that Old friends are the best antiques. Friend ship that stood on no condition. Friend ship that never expected anything in return other than fun and cheer. Friend ship that would last forever.

After 25 years, it was time that decided a Grand Reunion was due and bring in some crazy moments back in everyone's life.
A social gathering in Venki's house warming ceremony triggered the reunion event. Message spread out like Australian bush fire and each one started pooling in contacts that they had and the list started growing.
A formal announcement through SMS texts resulted in a huge gathering at City Institute on January 8th 2011.
While meeting School Teachers that were part of the reunion was very emotional and fulfilling - meeting friends after 25 years was nostalgic.
Each one of them could feel the love and affection that their teachers and friends had for them even after 25 years despite each one had grown up beyond recognition.
Honouring School Teachers with respects and mementos added more fuel to everyone's emotion.
A two hour event ended up till late night at 10:30 and none noticed that it was that late.
Reality reminded everyone that they had to go home but everyone promised each other that they would stay in touch quite often as possible.
Each one left the hall with a heavy heart that had become lighter for couple of hours.
Thanks to all Teachers that made it to to this event else the Reunion would have been incomplete.
Thanks to All School days buddies for being part of this Grand Reunion
Special thanks to Praveen, Shivanand, Harish, Prashanth, Mallikarjuna and Prakash for taking time to organize this Grand Event of Reunion.
