It would be incomplete if I mention Indore and do not mention my alma mater - St. Pauls H. S. School, Old Sehore Road, Indore.

I plan to thave a series of thoughts on my alma mater as time and inclination permits.

Let me start this series by touching upon the latest news from the school - a memorial day event. An event that began a a homage to departed souls of the 1988 batch, who once upon a time were my playmates and lab mates and house-mates.

But this day has been eternalised as a day to pays homage to all students of the school who now rest in peace due to their untimely departure from the living world.

The 1988 batch was first of it's kind
- a batch that was the first class XII (10+2) batch of the school
- the first batch to get a general promotion (GP) by the then CM, Arjun Singh
- a batch which had almost 40 of it's students getting selected in PET for engineering college admissions

The pictures here should suffice to say that under the initiative of some die-hard St. Pauls alumni, the Smruti Divas (Memorial day) has been launched officially.

I would fail if I do not mention a few of the wonderful teachers who have been with us through these years guiding us in their own way, with their invisible presence in our lives, who have shaped us the way we are today.



Mr. Amitabh Saraswati - the man with the western look way back then, never was able to understand if he was the rebel with a cause or without one.
