Caring Friends: In Retrospect

FOREWORD

It is giving us great pleasure to present this precious collection of happy moments of the get-to-gather of our batchmates i.e. 1975 HSSC Batch of Hadas High School, Nagpur. We all met after a long span of 25 years. We take this as the “Silver Jubilee” year to look forward to our relationship with a new perspective.

In 1975, we parted from each other from our beloved alma mater for further education. It is needless to mention that, every member of our family (yes, we call our batch a family) left behind unforgettable memories of our association during school days. Since long, we have been trying to meet all our friends at one place to exchange our passions.

Finally, after a long wait of 25 years, we could make it. To our pleasant surprise, response from all our batchmates was great.  We had just a week’s time at our disposal to pool in our old friends along with their families who in turn, also anxious to see their cheerful parents gone young by twenty five years.

In addition to the batchmates, the presence of some of our teachers was heartening indeed. They specially attended the function to bless the students and were touched by the gratitude shown by the students towards them.

All those living in the city made it a point to attend the get-to-gather. Not much difficulty was experienced in contacting friends staying outside Nagpur. However, it was not possible for them to attend the function within such a short time margin.

We deem this get-to-gather a milestone and hope to keep meeting our batchmates in the times to come. Let us continue to be in touch for knowing more and more about each other.

We trust that all of us will participate in such attempts with greater enthusiasm for realising the purpose of holding this function and strengthening our ties.

With all good wishes,

Yours in friendship,

Hitendra Pande
