Batchmates Sadasiv-Niyati: Bidhu's Report on Konark Meet#comments#comments
Batchmates Sadasiv-Niyati: Bidhu's Report on Konark Meet#comments#comments
....Many of us may not be able to attend all meets . I had e-mailed many of us , if they can attend the meet, but I got reply from Basanta sahoo only. This shows many of us cannot spare time to reply e-messages, for various reasons. So, my humble suggestion, can we use this blog spot to make a venue of get-togatherness? When-ever anybody find time, he will write some thing(that may not be very interesting or unknown to all) about one of our batchmates, may be in series. Not necessarily that he was or is in lime-light. My humble idea for choosing this topic , as I fancy, is to get the old charm of glimses of good writers like Bidhu, Niyati, some unknown aspects of ones personality, co-related with events past or present. But to me, for being in a non-practising post( and with no intention of pracise after retirement), It will be of immense pleasure to me to go through the golden moments of Medical days. Of course I suppose that at this fag-end of life ,we have already shed many inhibitions and can digest a few unpalatable compliments, for others delicacy. Bidhu Bhaina - If my bakwas has any substance, will you Sriganesh?

Bidhu's Report on Konark Meet
Dear Sadasiv,
I have not been in touch for last 2 weeks,although I have seen the
email exchanges on our get together between
you,Ajit,Prasanna,Ajay,Upendra about photos etc on your blog.
On return from our Batchmates get together at Konark,I attended my
mother's death anniversary(barsikiya)at Cuttack ,returned to Delhi on
9th and then all family members went to Sangam,Allahabad for 'asthi
bisarjan' on 15-16 March.Immersing the mortal remains of parents,leaves
one with inner voices.Then in between I had to prepare for a meeting.
Today I have reached Brussels and I will be here till 25th March.
I have been appointed by European Commission as an expert for EC-
Health-Cancer area activities.So this meeting is in this connection.
It is time to share a few things on what we all did together-
Batchmates-MKCG-1975-at Konarkon 07 March 2010.
The get together,venue,all arrangements and connecting with all were
definitely the efforts of Prasanna,Sadasiv,Mihir,Sachi Panda and
Upendra.Our heartfelt apreciation to these idiots.(the movie 3 Idiots
is to have a sequel with many more characters like you all!).
Some of us descended at Konark on 06 March night and had the Sunrise and
morning walk at Chandrabhaga.
By breakfast at 9.30 on 07 March,many more reached the venue at Yatri
Nivas,Konark.
A total of 26 of our batch came to share the day.Around 18 came with
family,an overall gathering of 55.
Morning time was to meet,hug(jhappi!)and see the balding,greying,pot
bellied ones.We had amongst us only one lady of the batch-Niyati.She
would have got a good knowledge about male ageing process,seeing is
believing!How the males of her MBBS time look now 35 years later!
Then we had a few minutes to each,stand in front of every one,and
describe briefly what has been our professional,family and life
journey.We prayed for our departed friends-Narayan Dash,Natabar
Swain,Usha Acharya(in 1st year, Pushpasree Das and Pradeep Samantaray.
Highlights of morning session were Prafulla Bhaina starting the programme with a sloka for Lord Jagannath.Golakh reading out a note on the Batchmates.Arun Misra,Purna Misra,Dhruba Satpathy and Rabinarayan Kar were the 'lost and found'items!Ajay Upadhyaya coming on skype,we could see him live from his home in England(how electronic age is amazing,could we have imagined this in 1970s!).
Upendra,Sadasiv and Pradipta Das pulling people here and there inside the hall(typical pranksters of Golakh's class!).
Sudarshan arrived almost after 2 PM and Satchi and Mihir were making frantic requests to Yatri Niwas authorities to arrange lunch for Sudarshan's wife. Uday seemed totally unmoved by it.
It was real nice sight to see some of the batchmates coming with spouses and children.One couple was proud to display grand child(their identity-Sadasiv an Niyati)!
Post-lunch well bunched to gether and went to Konark temple.Lot of photo ops for the handsome ones in our group- Sudarshan,Pradipta,Sachi,Mihir,Ramesh-they wanted to be there in every camera frame!
Bhagaban came from Kuwait and the most attcked person by "Friends" in the group was Nishakar.
Evening was at Yatri Nivas lawn,tea,pakora,gossip,bart-alap! Arun Misra
played Banjo,Niyati sang some Akshya Mohanty songs from college days and Laxmi Nivas snored. The weighty suggestions from friends like Ramesh and Sudhansu will certainly haunt us for some time.
We all felt very much that many of our batchmates are not keeping in touch,they are rather ignoring us,they will get old as we all will grow old and we cannot see them.What a pity!Is life meant to abandon the friends of youth!!
We have decided that now we should try to meet ONCE EVERY YEAR.
Next get together will be at PURI/BHUBNESWAR(am I right?) in the month
of FEBRUARY 2011.
Many of us hurried back from Konark by the late evening to our own
places.
P.S.In case any points,highlights are not mentioned in my note or are
incorrect,then you should fill up the matters,and say to all'here is
someone of our batch by name Bidhu Mohanti,heading towards senile
dementia,early onset Alzheimer's!
Warm wishes(it is still pretty cold here!)to you and Niyati.

Bidhu Kalyan Mohanti
This is Bidhu's life sketch in photos. Param Muthia in looks during his bachelor days, Bidhu now glows as he approaches his 60th year as a Professor in AIIMS. Have a close look at the slideshow of his photos.
Bidhu, Tulika and Sriya - as a family- have been extremely close to all classmates during their stay in Delhi.
