Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,
Hemen Parekh

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

RE: SHORT CIRCUIT18.List of Attendees & Summary of Expenses(DRAFT)


Dear friends,

It was a truly memorable re-union , even though it was difficult for me to recall all the faces

No complaint about food or ambience but a separate room would have given us more intimacy ( and less distraction from outside guests ) to share news about our lives since leaving L&T

Those of you who would want to get my blogs emailed to them , pl let me know

Yes , may be we should meet once in 6 months

By TQM style

What went well : Everything. Togetherness, comradery, attendance ( Notable : Kapadia & HCP, GA from Madras, we two from Pune ), good fellowship.

What went wrong : Nothing. Tight space. Could not attract many Mumbai people . Notably : PDJ. MR Madnani, MDMaheshwari, AG Kale et al. We do not rue. Enough intimation was accorded.

What could be improved: A more specious venue ( in Mumbai , asking for too much ?). Can pay more; up to Rs. 2k , Cannot say whether it should go towards liquor licence. Resort idea ( Marve ) may work. We can organize in a resort near Pune. Mumbai people have to come by vehicles, Day prog. Return to Mumbai by evening.

Some interesting anecdotes that I got to hear ( very brief ): DN's discussion with Marathe & ICJ about devising his initials. GA's about people in his engg centre in Chennai- addressing as SIR , work commitments …..; HCP' story about how he got rejected & selected ( joined MIDCO ) in Petrol Pump business, RSR : Experiences of travelling with MPW and MPW's stricters about winning business, My story I narrated to some : how I went upto Jail gate in Factories Act frivolous case  ASW )  & how the Sessions judge later asked Government to punish Factories Inspector who lodged a frivolous case in conjunction with  Magistrate on us and many on many MIDC industries.

Well, that is my take and we must look forward to another gtg in a year or less time gap.

Thanks to all for attending & their wonderful company. Kudos to DN for the idea.

immediately on return from our get together we went on to attend another function and hence 
found only now  (fairly late night ) to retrospect and savour the lovely time we spent together

-first of all we do   not get this wonderful camaraderie just by any amount money. I am so glad that I could hug many of my good old friends

-everything is arranged to a T.Can not ask for more

-what to be done further-organise more meetings-may be a different venue-I offer my services to be part of the organising committee


MANY THANKS TO DN BAKWANI AND OTHER COLLEAGUES WHO MADE THIS MEMORABLE DAY

we have to get the tel numbers of those attended for everybody's benefit.
