Last Sunday, I spoke to Shashi Kapoor followed by Ashok Syal over phone, and I got few photos of our times. There was so much to talk about and always, time flies so fast on phone. Mrs Kapoor had gone to Jammu after 2 years to meet her parents and all relatives, and Shashi is enjoying his forced bachelor days. Its always pleasure to chat, with our old pals.
I got later email with scanned photos from Shashi Kapoor who took these shots between 1969 & 1970, through his lens, that we are sharing with you all.
I hope our classmates must be having in there collection, some of those moments well recorded in there treasure trove, its only a bit of an effort to get it scanned and send it for all to rejoice our those days.
Memories of 1969 / 1970 Days:

 |
| L to R: Shashi Kapoor, Tejinder Singh & S J Sibal |
 |
| L to R: New Hostel -??, ??, O P Arora & Shashi Kapoor |
Probably P S Grewal will tag these first two photos, as most of our Bengali Friends are settled in Calcutta.
 |
| L to R: D S Mathur, S J Sibal & Shashi Kapoor - Howrah Railway Stn. |
 |
| L to R: O P Arora, P K Johri & Shashi Kapoor - New Hostel |
This photo reminds me, when we all wore, white bed sheets, as dhotis with under garments on, to Ganesh shop at Dhanbad Railway Station for a glass of milk with peras, it was the funniest night we ever had. Names, I recollect who joined us, were O P Arora, S J Sibal, M S Sandhu, Shashi Kapoor and my self. Can any one think of doing this again - that is what our school days were.

| L to R: S K Nagpal, S J Sibal & P S Grewal at ISM Oval |
Can you believe, S K Nagpal is over viewing as if he is chatting about Cricket match, with his match cap and lots to share.

| Maithon Dam - Mining Excursion 1970 |
Well our times, we used to have all B & W shots, and used to get it colored, if our pocket allowed, which was a rare case. I have also attached few of Maithon Dam photos, if some one wants to make another picnic with family and friends.

Lets hope some more friends/pals would like to share with every one, some beautiful days we spent together. In less than 10 years we are heading towards our batch Golden Jubilee, can we not bring all known friends under one umbrella.
Best wishes to all, to keep healthy and smiley at all times.
