Review on the meeting by Jerry:
The evening spent yesterday with our GemS was something really memorable for those who met as 7 pm to 11.30 pm was filled with fun all through.. there was so much to talk and share for all of us, that originally planned 2 hours of time was not sufficient and time just flew..
SAK was in high spirits which was evident from his high decibel laughter, which subsided little bit towards the end (pls don’t relate it to effect of any hard drink, he had just a bottle of Coke).. Elango was a mute spectator most of the time, but he too enjoyed being there..
Neelakantan, though he had an important family ritual going on at his home, made himself available for close to an hour..
Manimaran & Rajasekar could not make it.. Manimaran had to go out of town on an unplanned personal commitment and Rajasekar too was caught in some programme locally and so failed to show up.. even CAT could not come, but CAT had informed well in advance about his inability to come.
Arun Francis, as usual gave his prompt attendance, and joined us all before Neelakantan could leave.. Shrikanth and Savri were there quite early..
Ramesh called from the US and spoke to us all and it was nice to speak to him and hear his voice after so many years… Ramesh said that he’s planning to make a visit to Chennai in March after his return from US this month end and insisted about having a get-together during his visit..
Shahul too called later on and was excited about our meeting and spoke individually to all of us..
Every one enjoyed the evening pretty well.. As Ramesh had suggested there can also be a trip planned to Mahabs or Pondy sometime during the year..
Pls find the group photograph attached… Neelakantan, we should have taken a snap before you left!!!
