NORTH POINT REUNION in Kolkata, November 15, 2008

Report on the Kolkata Reunion

It will interest you to know that the Calcutta chapter of the NPAA held its signature annual event "NOSTALGIA" today. It was very well attended and went off very well.

The chapter felicitated Fr. Nunn, which I think was a wonderful decision of the organisers. It was really a trip down memory lane. As a matter of fact I would say that it was better than visiting NP. Going there you miss something. After a lot of thought, I realised that you miss the people you were with.

We were four from the '71 batch. Jaggi, me, Maha & Joki who flew in from Milan. Chugani was also there from our batch but technically from '72. From the '70 batch we had Singhania who is the current President, B.K.Arya and P.K.Das. Cyrus Madan read out the felicitation address beautifully. Had he spoken one more phrase he would have burst out in tears and so would most of us. Fr. Nunn's position was similar except that he started with a heavy voice but soon recovered. It was really a poignant moment for everyone present and more so for those of us who knew him well.

Of late, I have not been very active in the Alumni but I thought that I should write to you about this very touching moment.

Regards!
