My daughter can help me in movie making and background music. My no. is 98410 85713 and my email id is: jayaseshan@yahoo.co.in.
Jayalakshmi
Hi naga
ReplyDeleteyour non stop bantering on the blog has created a lot of excitement and also confusion regarding what language you are using to write. Is it English or chinese or Mongolian you have learnt recently. you had written that you appreciate plants, did you mean the alkaloid prepared from the plant or the flowers of the plant, photo of which has been posted by Prabhakar.
I missed checking blog for last 2 days and enjoyed reading about 40 comments. Please post more photos. See you all at reunion
Prem
prabakar nice to see the reunion is taking shape nicely - i am sure we are going to have a great time just being in madras since it has been some time since i visited india - naga i do not understand what the f**k you are saying man, you are not allowed more than three lines on each of your comments - is kannan going to trace the'' man with the monkey ''for some local jungle juice for the reunion? got fed up with the martini ,chivas and the wine - dont worry about prem he gets drunk drinking ginger beer . all you guys keep up the good work which is much appreciated - we will make sure we have a great time, hows natti nowadays ?
ReplyDeletemathi
jayalakshmi do you still play batmiton - if your daughter is into making movies she can film what naga gets upto in the reunion and post a copy to his wife suganthi.anyway nice to hear from you , and hope life is treating you well.
ReplyDeletemathi
Viswanathan, great to see your involvement in the reunion from the beginning ( are you still into those multicolor shirts ?) rather than getting the current dean of kmc who all of us dont know , we should be inviting one of our teachers who has taught us to have the previlage of bing our chief guest, we should also plant a tree in the kmc campus marking the reunion event .
ReplyDeletemathi

Mathi,
ReplyDeleteWe need the KMC dean to use KMC premises for the event on friday 7th. But we are only planning to invite a few of our teachers. any suggestions are welcome. We are planting a tree .Its Rajalakshmi who played Badminton and she is coming as well.
Naga- the flower pic is an orchid from a garden in Sikkim.
thanks prabar 4 ur information about the orchid from sikkim.i could recognise it since malaysia is very famous 4 beautiful orchids but my eyes cheated me bcos my mind things otherwise.that is why i want to clear my doubt 2 save the cat in me!!!!!!!!!!! i thought, i am mischievious but i find killopatra much worst than i am n having better ideas by being trying to be cost effective hahahaha!!!, keep it up.i miss my good fren rasputin who's interesting n good command of english n witty comment.WHERE HAVE U LOST IN SPACE MY FREN.GET UP COME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHai Mathi,
ReplyDeleteIt is a great fun to read your,s and Naga's comments.Your point is well taken.Regarding Felicitation of our teachers, as Prabakar said it is necessary to have dean's permisson to use the premises and the auditorium, if possible.
Proposed list of teachers to be honoured
1.Prof. Sugumar surgery cheif, the one whose classes used to be overcrowded and cheerful ,Boys used to come to his class for a specific purpose
2.Great MMR,as Vinod suggested
3.Prof.Surendren,surgical gastroenterologist
4.Prof. Bala ,Munusamy ,Medicine
5.Viswanatha Rao
6.Jayalaksmi,Microbiologist
7.Hemalatha,Pathologist
Any other suggestions most welcome,.
Is it Saliva sprayer Munus,just his presence will be electrifying.
ReplyDeleteI am hugely disappointed to see that no one has recommended Professor Nagaiah, Mr. David (hostel) and Mr. Bright as guests of honour for the meeting. They were the building blocks of what we are today. We should actively seek them out if they are still alive!!!
ReplyDeleteYou should also set aside some money for Vegetable spring roll (Keerai) and theertham (old monk).
Cant wait to meet you guys.
Dear Raghu
ReplyDeleteFor Vegetable srping roll we have to go to kodai to look for man and the monkey or Bike friends of Londa(Goa).
Regarding honouring
Pharmac prof. Narasimhan
Medicine Assts then Dr.Nagajothi and Dr.Veda murthy
Dr.V Srinivasan
ortho Dr.Thukkaram
o and g Dr. Madhavi
paeds Dr.Krishnakumari and Dr. Sivakami
off course all others as you have mentioned.
Ravi

Dear Prabhakar
ReplyDeleteIt wil be doubling of work ppl sendin me d photos myself scannin and sendin it 2 jeyam. then, regarding ur suggestion that uniformity shud b maintained its a bit difficult since all d photos taken during college dayz wil b in the old format only. since jeyalakshmi has cum forward to do it wid her daughters help ppl may kindly b asked to contact her. either she can make the final powerpoint presentation with her daughters help or individuals can scan n send by email to jeyam if he is going to make the presentation.
I'm also gettin busy with homefront as well as my doctoral work. kindly excuse me. Thanks.
Priscilla.

Hi guys what about Ryan from Micro and he is only one who used to take micro classes sincerely. Prem
ReplyDeleteI think our plan is to invite about 4 or 5 guests. so please conisder this. Viswanathan , please comment on this.
ReplyDeleteTrue Prabhakar,we have just a couple of days to catch up with a lot of friends. let us not forget firstly that this is a reunion of friends. guess the last thing we all need is a very formal atmosphere and felicitations etc. Hi, to every one . have been reading the comments with a lot of interest. Magical trip down memory lane.All of a sudden, feeling truly young ,free and unburdened once again. Cant wait to see all of you once again ,after two decades nearly.
ReplyDeleteMathi, thanks for the e-mail. should certainly meet up for a drink in Soho soon. But guess we will do that in Chennai first.
Ram.
(Ram Kumar Rajesh)
naga the above flower is not an orchid but fuchia (for once you have doubted right , and i am not surprised with your botany knowledge with all the women chasing going on your so called hiking trips)
ReplyDeletemathi
Prabhakar
ReplyDeleteWe wouldnt be what we are (in whatever way!!) without the people who had taken the effort to teach us (for the ones that chose to attend. The gathering at KMC can be used as a venue to felicitate our teachers whilst the MGM resort can remain informal. Who says our teachers cannot stay informal at the gathering?
I would leave the choice to you. After all I could only comment or suggest. You may find them difficult to organise this anyway.
As for as Naga (Sori puducha Kurangu), You grew up on vegetables and theertham and suddenly you are projecting a saintly image (hard to believe). FYI, Dr.Sankaranarayan is no more. He was devastated with shaping a Doctor like you, he drank himself to death. Plus the Arrack that you bought him in Kerala did not suit his liver. It was all downhill from there.
Dear friends
ReplyDeleteAs prbhakar rightly mentiond it is our reunion and not felicitation so if we call few teachers who were very closely associated with us such as Viswanatha Rao, Jayalakshmi madam and Dean( for the use of premises it may be alright.
Any comments?
Ravi
Hi all
ReplyDeleteMy opinion is ,we can felicitate one in the Non clinical,one in the paraclinical and probably two in the clinical side and ofcourse the present Dean. Is that fine? priscilla
Ravi,Raghu,Latha,Vinod,Mathi,Karpagam,Savithri....didnt realize all you guys were so close by.We really could have met up here first for a mini reunion . indeed should try to do that in future if possible. met up with Pratap a few weeks back after several years.Had a fantastic couple of days in Wales catching up on old times.Hope you are all well.
ReplyDeleteall good wishes.
Ram.(Ram Kumar Rajesh)
Murali,long time. You have hardly changed in the recent photograph. What theertham do you take every night to stay so young?.Some of us appear to be constantly engaged in the battle of the bulge.Any news of Krishnajee?
ReplyDeleteRam.(RKR)
dier Nagu swamiji,why silence? me no sleep without daily dose of ur wit and wisdom.
ReplyDeleteKilliopatra.
It really has been fun reading all your comments. Could I trouble you to send some pictures to me. If you find it difficult to send in a digital format please send them as paper copies & I will do the rest. My mum has got some of the pictures at home, she would give them to Prabhu or Murali. You guys know what to do when you get them. Please keep the blog going & keep sending the photos to me. We don't have too much time left.
ReplyDeleteThanks

ReplyDeleteRam.RKR
Gurji, I will even do pole dance for you. pls take me Soho.
ReplyDeleteKute killiopatra
The photos I need are both from the college days & more recent ones. I agree with Ram, we must meet up at least once a year in uk. Perhaps its a bit late this time to meet before our reunion.
ReplyDeleteFriends,
ReplyDeleteA VERY VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE for the people travelling into chennai from abroad. The airport authorities in Chennai are using body thermal scanners to scan you. If your temperature is even a degree higher you will be sent to Thondairpet Hospital for quarantine. This measure to prevent the spread of Swine flu. Unfortunately you can't reason with the authorities.
So here is what you need to do, take a paracetamol an hour before you land, even if you feel fine in yourself. If you travel with children do the same for your kids. DO NO TAKE ANY CHANCE. A paracetomol is not going to kill anyone, but staying in Thondairpet Hospital would not be pleasant I guess.
Good luck to everyone
Jeyam
Dear US guys
ReplyDeleteWe can meet up in London next year. I live in london and all others are live outside. i live close to wimbledon(5miles). i am happy to arrange here with the help of others
Ravi
Dear Ram
We will meet up from time to time
Ravi
Hey Ravi,
ReplyDeleteGood to hear u r staying right in London. So, be ready to host about 20 families from US at ur house( hope it is a big enough palace to hold all of us), since u r staying rt in London.Just so that we won't miss home cooked food!
Just Kidding!Don't relocate to some remote suburb (some thanniyilla kaadu) for fear of the US pattalam!
sorry,that was Premalatha
ReplyDeleteNaga looks like you found your lost sweet heart killopatra (and she is even ready to go on the pole for you ) - i allways doubted you had some extramarital fling (is killopatra going to get your kids to the reunion ? ) now that you have found your love for gods sake GET A SHAVE before the reunion.
ReplyDelete''If you love something set it free : if it comes back , it is yours ; if it does not - it was not ment for you ''

Dear Premalatha
