Catching up with School friends

  it is always wonderful to cath up with school friends. One of the advantages of Internet is the connectivity. As students we all studied together at Kendriya Vidayalaya in class 9th and 10th in 1970's and 1971  In Secunderabad. Most of us were children of Army Officers or Railway officers and we're in constant motion in new places  when our parents got transferred. We kept in touch with close friends for a year or two and then moved on. It is interesting that many of us got together through the Internet after more than 40years. Most of us are placed in different parts of India and some in US, Canada and U. K. We try to meet once a year and hardly feel that time has passed by. We still feel the 15 year or 16year old at heart. Now we will be celebrating our 60th year and four of us in the core committee went around the town on 28th December, 2015, looking for a place to meet and had lot of fun just being together in each others company.
