My brother and I moved out of the school when my dad left HAU in 80s. Memories are hazy now, but I still remember having lots of fun and feeling very comfortable in starting school with Sethi Aunty and (Kiran) Malik Aunty there to look after me- they were my parent's friends ( Dr and Mrs RS Hooda). Later on, my own mami (Mrs Daulta) started teaching KG. I often remember this dear friend called Anand who had lost his mother. His fierce aunt from Andhra used to look after him and she used make lovely food which I would go over to Anand’s place and eat all the time esp. the Andhra mango pickle. Then there was Vikas ? Malik who went to Germany later and I met his parents at Hissar some years later after graduation. I also remember the Pandey and the Nangia families, my brother's friends- Sonia Verma, Jiju George, Rekha Tomar… the whole jingbang from our block! If anyone from those days still remembers me, it would be lovely to get in touch again. I was one of the original students in campus school- Started KG in 74.

Hi!

All the names that you have listed here are the class mates of my elder brother Sandeep Gupta and I have all the faces very clear in my mind still after so many years.

Brother had left school after completing his 10th.

Now he has setup his own business…

Hi Col. Sunil,

It is so nice having met you and stayed with you after long 29 years.
How lucky I am to find my old friend.

Hi Neeti!
Hope to meet you soon.

Saurabh was in my class. I graduated from 10th std. in 1986. I went back to India in yr 2000 and I was excited to take my kids to my school, but we just visited from outside and I could not even dare to step in. I guess I did not want to shatter my dreams any more. I think the state of the HAU Campus as a whole is not the same anymore. My dad was in the 6type quarters when I visited them and the houses lacked all that grandeur they were once known for. I still do not want to bring this up with them as I think this will hurt the pride of these simple folks who have devoted their lives and talent in the service of academics at HAU. I wish the administration was also at par with the humble professors'commitments. Hi Basabji,

If you happen to ever come to Gurgaon, do drop in, I am sure you will love the school and will surely have fond memories of Campus Schoolthat will be seen in various facets. I am also remembering all the old names that cropped in during reading the article, Specially Gagandeep, Sunil chawla, Anuradha Agarwal, Vishvas Rao, Ajay Chowdhary and so on. Neeti Dear Basab,

Incidentally, I've stumbled upon your page by chance through a link thrown up by google...anyway, I too remember those golden moments of my childhood with a wistful fondness, which, once upon a time, inspired me to scribble the following lines in my notebook: O Life! Please find time To come back to me atleast for once With same old face and vim that’ve long been left there Where my childhood and innocence used to live once Where an olden fishpond with muddy water lay The one in which I used to sail the tiny paper-boats Overflowing with imaginings and dazzling hopes! In that lustrous course of journey Countless faces ferried along with me And a few forgotten shadows too Never was I lonely on the majestic pathway So many were there to laugh and cry with me Of course, my pockets used to be empty But constantly would they be spilling over With crackling laughter, innocent pranks and guffaws! Even Time has failed to extinguish those sparkles Each time I take a look into the tattered bag, full of memories I find them inching close to me but always out of reach - Those golden moments of that wonderful journey! To this day, it appears as if I’ve travelled a long long way, But my heart still beats somewhere there, far away… Gagan Deep gagan@indiasolicitor.com gagan@hindsolicitors.com Dear Basab,

Your forthright views about the woeful state of our school, though expressed in another context, seem to have sparked off a surreal reunion of schoolmates hailing from different eras.

Incidentally, I’ve stumbled upon your page by chance through a link thrown up by google…anyway, I too remember those golden moments of my childhood with a wistful fondness, which, once upon a time, inspired me to scribble the following lines in my notebook:

O Life! Please find time
To come back to me atleast for once
With same old face and vim that’ve long been left there
Where my childhood and innocence used to live once
Where an olden fishpond with muddy water lay
The one in which I used to sail the tiny paper-boats
Overflowing with imaginings and dazzling hopes!

In that lustrous course of journey
Countless faces ferried along with me
And a few forgotten shadows too
Never was I lonely on the majestic pathway
So many were there to laugh and cry with me
Of course, my pockets used to be empty
But constantly would they be spilling over
With crackling laughter, innocent pranks and guffaws!

Even Time has failed to extinguish those sparkles
Each time I take a look into the tattered bag, full of memories
I find them inching close to me but always out of reach -
Those golden moments of that wonderful journey!

To this day, it appears as if I’ve travelled a long long way,
But my heart still beats somewhere there, far away…
