Dear All,
Holi ki hardik shubkamnaye! Wishing you all a Holi full of color,inspiration and life.
It was great to be at home and celebrate the festival with the family. Holi is much different now and I was left remembering our famous Meerut holi which used to be until late evening and Dheeraj, Himadri and I would actually make several people bathe a few more times than they usually planned. However, the joy of being at home this year was unbound and celebrations were complete as Gujiyas are disappearing at faster rate now.
Additionally, i was able to re-establish contacts with several colleagues as I was priviliged to receive calls from Rachna and Satanshu boss. It was great and shared with them about our forum and requested them to join. I saw him already as the new member and so Welcome Rachna and Sathanshu boss on the forum.
I also got call from Mamta Arora and Madhu bhatt reciprocated the message. Sri Ram Premi had a poetic ishtyle in his Holi message while Ambreesh and Ankur were at their colorful best. I shall meet Meerut friends plus some others on Friday as '3As' have kindly kept a meeting to discuss and take the process forward for OSA 2010.
Shall share more in my next message.
Cheers and ciao
Arvind

Dear Arvind,
Good to know that you were able to celebrate Holi with your family. Kooch Gunjiya humari taraf se bhi kha lena (agar abhi tak bachi ho tou ). Dheeraj is 'likely' to reach India on 7-8th March. Keep us posted about OSA 2010 developments (other than Chivas Regal stuff ).

Himadri,
For sure, such offers are welcome and surely I did manage to eat few more Gujiyas !
In fact mummy made again since she thought it would be better to send a few with me as well so that i can eat them for a few more days !
Dheeraj called up on Holi and informed me of reaching on 8th March, the day I shall reach Pyongyang. Infact, on two previous occassions I had planned to stay longer hoing him to reach India and this time it was just not possible. Anyways, we shall be in regular touch once he reaches India.
For OSA 2010, I am working on the details of the meeting and shall share shortly. Have posting a short message regarding 5th March meeting.
It may be important to mention that a family meet has been proposed from 28-30 May on self supporting basis. It may be useful if any one is planning to visit India to keep these dates in mind. The calendar of events shall be developed in due course.
Interestingly, there was general consensus that on 25th Dec, it may not be necessary to spend a lot of money on Chivas or BL but it certainly should be a decent scotch. On the contrary, on batch night i.e. 23rd/24th Dec, we should have the best of everything. It sounds reasonable and should be further discussed and explored.
Cheers and ciao
Arvind
