JNTU Anantapur (1983-87) Reunion - Happy Diwali
Dear Friends
Happy Diwali to all of you and your families
As you are all aware, we have started the JNTU Anantapur 19883-87 reunion planning 3 weeks back (though the idea has existed for a couple of years).
http://www.jntuatp.in has now been updated with the contacts we have got during the last 3 weeks. I believe we are off to a good start - with some of you providing a new contact or two.
Bhaskar KSV (Mechanical) has sent the scanned copies of the group pictures and "then" addresses. These are now uploaded to the site. Hoping that this information will provide some leads (if you know any one in the same town or village, you may want to call them and find out their whereabouts).
Let us plan to get the contacts through emails / phones until November 6th- hoping to gather as many contacts as possible through this means; After November 6th, we plan to mail out the letters to the others to their "then" addresses.
You have all worked hard for the last 25 years to reach where you are now in life; It is the time to pause and reflect upon your journey and reconnect with your former self.
On a personal front, I am having a blast in connecting with old friends. Talking to some of you after 25 years is certainly an exciting experience. I am sure that you are also taking this opportunity to reconnect with your friends and are eager to show/tell your family and children about your college days.
Some of you have provided the leads to the folks who organized the reunions during the last two years. I plan to talk to them to get some guidance and learn from them as well.
We also need to form a reunion organizing committee to plan the reunion. An event of such magnitude needs your help. If you are interested in serving on the organizing committee, please raise your hand. We need lot of help. At the minimum, we need the coordinators for each branch -
(1) mechanical (k s v bhaskar),
(2) electrical (k g srinivas),
(3) civil (????)
(4) electronics (???)
to gather the contacts now and to collect detailed bios at a later point of time.
We also need coordinators/ representatives for
(5) faculty liaison (for gathering the information about the faculty who taught us during 1983-87; and inviting them to the reunion)
(6) publishing the alumni directory (detailed bio of personal and professional progression of alumni and their family picture)
(7) keeping the web site up to date (I am looking for a couple of bloggers who can keep the site upto date - I will provide you the necessary training as needed) folks to keep it up to date)
(8) organizing a cultural program (by the alumni or their spouses or their children)
(9) logistics (transportation, arrangements for the event)
(10) finance (we need at least 2 or 3 people for overseeing the financial aspects of the event and maintaining the transparency)
I am sure some of you are natural fits to sign up for these and be part of the committee. Please sign up and let me know.
Any realization starts with a dream. Let us dream it big and let us make it big.
