Thanks to the meticulous planning and equally flawless execution by the Team Toronto, 51st reunion was a grand success.
Ajit has been assigned to provide the details and so I would just like to take this opportunity to thank Swagat, Prabha, Manisha, Raj, Robin, and Mukesh for their hard work and the affectionate hospitality.
It was a lot of fun to meet everyone who attended, and we all missed those who could not. In the spirit of the two dinner events, bahut shor machaya hum logon nein, us se bhi jyada maja aya toronto mein.

Thanks so much Akhilesh for such a positive feedback about the Toronto Reunion. It was such a joy to be part of this and meeting you and all the batch mates and spouses that attended, some of you I did not meet for 20 plus years. It gives great satisfaction to me and Team Toronto that this 4 day event was so successful. The fun and camaraderie amongst us 67+years old guys (and spouses) was unbelievable, the yoga classes led by Jaya every morning were so fulfilling, and the discussions about retirement planning (led by Asha) and giving back to IITK (led by Uday) were so informative.
Thank you so much for attending and making this Reunion in Toronto such a grand success!
Let us make this an annual event, and have greater participation.

Hi Guys

Kudos to the organising team.

Jaya and I would like to thank Team Toronto (Manjusha, Prabha, Swagata, Mukesh, Raj and Robin) to do a great job in arranging the reunion. Although the attendance was less than anticiapted, we all had a great time. Changing the plans at the last minute based on weather forecast was a great challenge and Team Toronto handled it very well. We hope that we could continue getting together every year and more of us could join in future.
Attached are three group pictures from the reunion. See how many of them you can recognize. I am sorry that Aarif is not in any of these pictures.

Hi Prem,
Many thanks for these lovely pics.
I can recognize only the guys /gals I have met since we parted in 1970, and none others. This includes you, unfortunately. Only Upendra with some difficulty. Of those I recognize, I meet Vish frequently when I visit my daughter in Maryland, Robin when in Toronto 15 years ago, Uday in India, and Moghe in Kanpur at the 35th.
Glad you all had a ball.

On behalf of Team Toronto, “Thank You” Prem for letting yourself be “volun-told” to be the official photographer at our recent reunion.
I enjoyed the pictures you have sent so far — they are crisp; they show everyone’s faces; yet they also manage to convey a sense of the beautiful location. I eagerly look forward to receiving many more when you can find a few spare moments to put them together.
Thank you again Prem — you are a gem.
Mukesh
