Ramesh and Kannan and their spouses work for LIC. Indhu and Sowmya , Suresh and Shakuntala, Anantakrishnan and Sudha, Vignesh and Mekalai are all first cousins. Ramesh, Vydianathan, Balaji, Deepak and Srinivasan are from the same ancestral tree, along with their Principal, Mrs.L.Kamala. The reunion started with a mark of remembrance to the 4 deceased members of the batch...Manoj, Meiyappan, V.Srinivasan and M.Vidya. While the recap was done in the morning about the past 25 years by each member, the afternoon was leg pulling..titled Bunguru speaks. Anecdotes of classroom life were the essence.
Hi Paanza Nice to know you and all our school mates.. I was googling around for old school mates and luckily I could find your post...I ( Full name R.Raghunathan, Active in Cricket in School that time ) studied in TVS Lakshmi Higher Secondary school ( then CBSE) between 3rd and 7th Standard. I finished my 7th Standard in 1980 I guess, and then left for Coimbatore. So I guess must have some old school mates from 1985 batch that did schooling with me between 3rd and 7th standard!! Out of the names you have mentioned, I clearly remember S.Venkatesh in my class and I could relate him with his Tennis and Mridangam performances those days... I remember D.Ramesh. I don't remember other friends listed however I'm glad I could get into the list.. I clearly remember few names that were in my class: S.Saravanan, S.Chandrasekhar, C.Chandrasekhar, D.Ramesh, S.Venkatesh, S.Harinarayanan, Vivitha, S.Srividya, V.Srividhya, Venkata Narayanan ( Only person I met in Chennai few years back), Prakash Babu (Cricketer) , Suresh ( Met him in US once, lost touch)...I guess some of them would have been part of the 1985 batch pass out... Looking forward to hear from you.... I will be in touch once I hear back and probably we can share our coordinates.
