Father Patrick D'lima

Our Pune Classmates. Praveen More,Parag Potdar,Faizal Khimjibhai,Nixon Fernando,Rajesh Kapoor & Wife , Sangram Desai met Father Pat, who couldn't come to our re-union event due to ankle injury.

Father Pat is fit n fine ,looks like an 18 yr old, except that he has a hearing problem.

Father did show them some old/nostalgic photographs of us in school, they could recognise Joe, Dinesh , Sachin Kamat,Sunil Uppin, Narendra Murkumbi, Rajesh kapoor, Sangram, Sanjay Bhosale,Pravin Hungund and many more. He has the Naval, Airforce and Army wing group photos of our class. He even shared his collection of books that he penned over the years. The evening was nostalgic.

Master Balu[NCC Army]

Dr Babanna and myself met the family of Master Balu[NCC Army] and belatedly handed over Gurudakshina[Rs 20k] to his wife, today, Tue the16th.

Master Arthur John has given part of his Gurudakshina to the family as Master Balu was his teacher too!

His son has fractured both his legs in a accident and was bedridden,one of his two daughters has just delivered,the other daughter is not married/is mentally challenged.

The financial assistance could not have come at a more deserving time.

Luv Regards n happiness always,
