The Picketians get together

I have found such dear friends in the old class mates with whom I had studied in 9th and 10th class and whom I met after forty years. We all had formed a very close knit bond and we all shared a lot of mails through a yahoo group. We introduced ourt children and spouses to each other and when ever there was an occasion we would all meet. This would often happen when any of our friends were coming from another city or town. We would all get together and have lot of fun. Jay, Nanda and Charles were in Australia, Sadhana in Canada and Aneeta, Suresh and Venky were in the US. Nauz was in poona, Jay and Sridhar in Bangalore, Skanda and Punkaj in Delhi. That left Vijay, Rajeev, Murthy, Manjeet, Ramesh and myself in Hyderabad.This became our meeting point and Rajeev was very good in organising some parties at the AC Guards club which is close to the Secunderabad club. We would have a lot of dance, music, good food and the boys would have drinks. It was as if we were transported back to our teenage and we had so much to talk and share. Besides this we would some times meet in Rajeev's house, Ramesh's house and my house. The moment one party would be over we would start planning for the other and look forward to meeting each other again. Down the big journey of life, we have made so many friends and met so many people but the best bondings only comes with your school buddies.
