Hi Sandhya Kumar,

As u might be aware our batch silver jubilee is next year [2009] and we are planning for a reunion in a big way as usual and so I am trying to get hold of all of our batchmates living abroad. If u have any details of them in there please let me know. I am blessed with two little angles. Our batchmates meet here quiet often execpt a few. We have about ten here but Senthur JeyaMurugan is on his way there to do fellowship in Radiology in Miami. Keep in touch.
Good Luck and regards to your family,
