Even though long time has been passed to visit IET lucknow but it has always been in my memory. Some of the very early lesson about life I learned there. Whomever I met so far in our monthly mixer has been a great experience. There was a poem which I wrote long back "Kuch to kabhi yaad aayega na" about my years at IET. It seemed to some extent life went back to the merories in sitapur road for past few months. We all are busy in our work and life. It is great that you all will be able to take time to meet and greet each other at picnic. Please share it with all those who are living in northern California.
