ప్రియమైన స్నేహితులకు నా శుభాకాంక్షలు
After coming back from USA in Jan 2010 , was enthusiastically looking for my old friends. Have placed my contacts in all the places possible , linked in, college alumni etc. Was very excited when I came across one of my High school friend (Krishnakanth) . Even more excited when I came to know from him about the High school Reunion. Who wouldn't be since it was a Reunion after 25 years .
I Profusely thank the organisers (Kannegola Siva, Dr.Vamsi, Sridhar and all those who have contributed) for arranging this trip and this blog is dedicated to them . Organisers were planning and making arrangements for this trip since 7 months earlier . I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the friends who have joined this Reunion and made it a huge success. Never realised I had so many good friends!!!

Five of us from Hyderabad , Krishankanth, Ravindra, Paul Kishore , Pavan K Nathavajhula booked a Volvo to Eluru. Earlier the buses used to start directly from Secunderabad . Now they have arranged a tempo from Secbad station to Lakadikapool . Similarly pickups are arranaged from various corners of the city viz., Madhapur , Kukkatpally etc . At the outset it seems to be a good arrangement but we loose lot of time in the process. Our bus was supposed to start at 11:00PM from Lakadikapool for which I have to start at 9.30 from Secbad station . For now I felt that it was trivial .Readers would have realised that the fifth person was not mentioned. That was not a typo but intentional.
While travelling in the bus , we came across the fifth one Krishna. This anecdote would be hilarious. We were sitting next to each other and did not realised he is from the same school unless four of us started talking about Kannegola Siva .

The D day arrived , we got dressed in business casuals and went school , our old dear school . Met the teachers , Felicitated the teachers , talked to them and shared the experiences. It was a great feeling . Our School teachers were at thier best giveing pep talk and the quotable quote which is worth to remember is 'Success is sweet and the secret of success is Sweat '. Simon sir our telugu telugu teacher completed his talk by exhorting us to 'Do as good as you can'
