I joined the school when it was setup in 1971 and studied there till class 7th (1975). Memories are pretty distant but few names which immediately come to mind are, Sandeep Bansal, Sunil Gupta, Ravi Jindal, Yograj, Alka Nangia, Amita Chabra, Deepak Mulani, Rajni Chandiramani, Mukul Tayal.... Do get in touch should you happen to read this. Atul Dewan dewan.atul@gmail.com Hi,

I wonder if you still are browsing through the site? blog. If you remember, i was your junoor, 82 batch passout . After reading the messages from so many old friends, i felt i was back in my old school. I am presently the Principal of Amity International School at Gurgaon. 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…

Things have not moves an iota since then. I spoke to faculty, I spoke to students and felt like shaking them up. If our universities have to improve, they have to put a teachers 'performance management system' in place. I am also wondering, we who think have a solution for these problems, how can we be a part of the change that we desire to see. -Anu Basab, I had a very similiar experience last month when I visited Panjab University, where I passed out 11 years back.
