Reunion: 1977-78 batch of SHC in Jamshedpur
The evening of the 18th was a formal affaire, red and pink were the theme colors. Was an evening of singing and dancing and catching up. Accompanied by a gourmet meal and drinks, the Sacred Heart girls danced into the wee hours.
The next day, this was followed by Picnic at the Jubilee Park with street food and more girl talk. The last event was a visit to the school. The joy and enthusiasm of seeing the old classrooms, pointing out the changes to the building and trying to relive the school days was exhilarating. A number of girls ran to the taps to drink water as we did in the old days, and a number of girls sat in one of their old classrooms, identifying their original seats.
The wonderful work being carried on by the Sisters of Sacred Heart and the members of ASHA in running a free afternoon school for poor children was much appreciated.
Goodbyes and plans for the next re-union ended the magical two day event.
The re-union was truly an overwhelming and inspiring event. An event that will live on in the minds and hearts of all who attended and all who see the pictures and hear the stories.
