Suggestions for the next reunion

Last, but not the least,

a loving message from Rajan Sanghi…

Dear Ranna, shall appreciate  if would like to read this message for all:  DEAR IITians of the great 71 batch and all others who have joined on this momentous

 occasion,Pl accept my apologies for not able to personally be present to deliver these lines .

Shashi and myself would like to host the next get together  in JAIPUR. An ideal holiday destination  OF beautiful resorts and hotels, lot of exciting spots. The city has at least seven palaces. LIKE THEY SAY JAIPUR IS A MUST BEFORE YOU  PASS ON TO YOUR NEXT JOURNEY. It shall mean a lot of effort for you Pune/Mumbai/ Bangalore /Chennai/Hyd walahs. BUT  with your excellent health now, why postpone for one more year.

Let us have a voice count - say AYE AYE AYE AYE. Thanks and looking forward to meeting you all,

 Love , RAJAN SANGHI Mob: 098290 10657.
