This poem is my reflections on the get-together of the
classmates of Regional Engineering College (now called NIT), Trichy
on 30th August, 2006 at GRT Grand Days Hotel, T.Nagar, Chennai.
Looked for the semblances of the faces they had once known,
Pined for meeting those who didn’t turn up (and)
Sang the ode of the days they were together.
Reverberated the walls of the “Grand Days”
With the prattling talk of the middle aged lads
Crumbled the separating walls of time (and)
Blossomed the reunion after a long interval of time!
Thirty four years have passed. And in the meanwhile
Some have passed away – Of the remaining,
Only thirty three made it – but offer do we
Our greetings to those held back by work!
The Sun (Ravi) gives life and light to the world.
So has
Like a TV ad that chases you on, Natarajan with his follow up
Laid the foundation for the show!
Ananthu (meaning “endless”) attracted us with his
Endless emails. And were there others working behind
Like the roots of a tree!
Eager as I am to express my gratitude to all
Yet unable to come out with words that befit
Slip out stealthily unseen by any - hoping that
Noble hearts will discern my intended message.
