In Doon                                                     

This is the oldest and the only photograph I have from my school days. St. Thomas' College - Dehra Dun - Uttar Pradesh - Class VI - 1983.

The teacher is Mr. Corea and some of my batch mates that I remember are: Shailender Chandna, Shailender Mani, Ranjan Vohra, Sonia Vig, Neelam Bokhandee, Rishi Thapa, Ritu Badola, Mamta Thapa, and my childhood crush, Shalini Kukreti.

This photograph was taken in 1988 at Mussoorie. Students of Class XII Botany department - DAV Inter College - had gone for an excursion to collect different plants for their Herbarium file.

99 Rajpur Road - The famous address of NIIT's first branch in Dehra Dun. Studied there between 1992-1994. Met Vinay, now a very close friend. 

Photo includes: Swapan, Rajeev, Nidhi, Veena, Hemlata, Jiten, Gunjan, Vineet Alex, Tarun, Vishal (That's me!!) and Manish.

Photo excludes: Rahul!!

NIIT - the third semester comes to an end. Learned UNIX & C, DBASE III Plus, Cobol, and the good old DOS.

NIIT - finally getting rid of us by handing over DISM to around 150 students. Convocation in Doon School. Never in my life  have I received a certificate/degree in such a function. 

1996 - Mussoorie International School, Mussoorie. Photograph taken by my mother.

My first job, my first boss, and the lasting impression. Mrs. Maan, friend. philosopher, guide and a wonderful lady. Her sense of humour is beyond measures; in a class beyond compare.

Once I offered her three sticks of Gladioli - Pink, for I had a crush on her. Yellow, for our friendship, and red - with a promise to be mine in the next birth!! Sorry mam, I am now revealing this to the world! Her son and I share the same pet name - Montu.

Also seen in the picture are my friend and colleague Shradha (Kati tej!!) and her friend Shamila.

Mrs. Maan, Shamila, Shradha, and I in the interiors of EBD Business Center.
