I am glad my humble efforts to create a forum of connection and communication among resident Hinduiites have finally begun yielding results.
I was delighted Monday (September 16) when Nitish wrote a lovely sms saying this was a "great effort at bringing old hostelers together." Considering that Nitish is a bright and a busy reporter with a leading Hindi news Channel IBN 7, I am glad he took out time to read a couple of entries on this blog and made efforts to contact me. Thank you Nitish, try and get more friends from your era hooked on to it. You still belong to that new-age, unlike me who exited the hostel in 1990 to go to JNU, and have little hesitation in acknowledging that I may be getting fossilised any time soon. Nitish stayed in the Hindu Hostel from 1993 to 1998.
Just when I was trying to digest this bit of good news from Nitish, came another one. The flamboyant Sanjay Akhoury sir also came across this blog and almost instantly called me.
Unfortunately none of those whom I sent a mail have responded so far making me feel the Hindu Hostel list needs a massive rejig. This, I believe, has suffered since Pankaj Singh Sir (IPS) left CBI to join back his cadre in Rajasthan. I hope he reads this and guides us in this.
I expect Nitish and Akhoury sir to begin contributing in the meanwhile. To begin with, why don't you write about your journey in life so far.
I was a witness to the melee a minute after the blast last Saturday (September 13, 2008). You may like to read a first-hand account:
