Dear OCs

This year we are celebrating the Golden and Silver Anniversaries of the ’62 and ’87 batches. While we are getting the ’62 batch in top gear – they have had a number of meetings towards this – but no one from the ’87 batch has contacted the OCA office.

Those interested please get in touch!

A dinner was organized at Toti Agarwal’s house on May 4, 2012 for the 1962 batch. They are having several round of dinners and this is the second one. There are more to follow. Important to note that Bunty, Toti’s wife, created the house flags and emblems. Terrific atmosphere. Click here to view the photos.
