Objective : To see at least some of the class mates after 5 years and to catch up with them and exchange notes. For those of you under a rock or for those who delete the mails coming from mepcominnal religiously just a quick recap; We had a get together at Chennai on June 10 at Blue Lagoon resorts!
The poster designed by Siva for the event
The meet started at around 10 AM when people started coming in. After a small round of introductions where everyone tried to explain what they have been up to, the organizers started off with the usual 'party games'. The objective of the first game was to see who could draw the Indian map - blindfolded! This naturally, produced some - to put it mildly - scary maps of India with some maps resembling a ghost (the one drawn by MSM deserves special mention for this). Next was a jodi porutham for Mr and Mrs.Alagar (a video of which should show up shortly at a site near you). Subha and Vijai Arun also provided some insights about marriage to the newly married couple.
Alagar collaborating with Priya for the map drawing contest
A picture dumbcee contest followed and chaos ensued as the judges(Kani and Siva) announced the results since the participants were not convinced that the winners deserved the price. Then trenchers time. After a short siesta games resumed. First was the balloon tower contest. Teams had to build a tower made using balloons and the team which made the tallest tower won. This was followed by a quiz contest with a difference. Sample questions :
1. Filing:Muruga::Carpentry:?
2. What name of the class we were in the final year?
3. Names of the boys hostels?
And many more such questions...
After this we went over to the beach had some fun throwing frisbees and lazing around, came back, had coffee and the prize distribution ceremony commenced. Prices were given out to the winners of the various 'contests'. Srikanth and Sowmya were voted as the most active participants We had got some dolls as well since we expected the parents amongst us to turn up with kids in tow. Since that didn't happen we just presented the dolls to the parents.
Hopefully the next reunion will see most of us turn up with their spouses and kids :)
Congratulations and wishes to the following folks becoming parents (between the last get together and now)! Haran, Subha, Vijai Arun.
Congrats to Alagar on his marriage to Priya!
This posting wouldn't be complete without a shout-out to everyone who took the time out to organize this and get things going; Kani and Siva (supported by Sowmya, Mohan and Swami).
Thanks guys!

That’s a nice review of our get together Krishna. I would like to mention some of the other highlights of our meet up.
• Krishna was drenched in the beach by a gang of 10, after a failed attempt by a gang of 4.( now we know how heavy he is)
• The laziest participant ‘award’ was given to….well, no prize for guessing…….Krishna!
But his efforts to compile this review will change that perception a little bit.
Thanks to all the participants for making the get2 happen. I really missed many others who were not able to come.
:)
