The catalyst for my action to start a blog with some of my recollections about the fabulous days at the Mount Carmel Convent (MCC) school in Shahabad was a blog written by Ramdas that I stumbled upon while googling for MCC. Some of the anecdotes and names mentioned in the blog brought back wonderful memories of the great school and colony life I enjoyed as a young boy in Shahabad. I remembered that some where in the pile of my photo collection, there was a class snap taken during the pre-final year (perhaps 1975 or '76) that I was at MCC . I was frantically searching for that snap to be able to recall all the faces of my class mates.
That magical snap was tucked away in a small album and eluded me till yesterday. It was a great feeling when I found it again and this time around , I decided to have it scanned so as to use it as a means to reconnect to my pals from school who are perhaps dispersed in the remote corners of the globe. I am sure that all of them nurture fond memories of the fun filled times we all had at MCC.
I hope to someday visit Shahabad to see the school and the AVB colony where I grew up. I am sure every class room that I studied in MCC has a story to tell and with that my rather hazy memories would be refreshed to recount the friendships and bonding built during my growing up years..
I am sure that all those who relate to the snap that I have posted recall some magical moments from the past..I wish to relive those moments by reading your comments to this blog post. Hope from here on we re-establish the friendships made several decades ago..do feel free to post snaps that you might have of our school days ..pictures definitely are worth a thousand words...Wishing every one happy holidays in December and a fun-filled, peaceful and prosperous 2010.
