30 TH REUNION SPEECH OF DR NIRANJAN CHAVAN AT GSMC MLT 19/12/2015 DECEMBER 22, 2015 N
Respected teachers and my dear friends, Here we are 30 years later .
I think it can be truly said that by now we’ve been there , done that and seen it all . What ? Probably Life .
* Some of us have worked hard to achieve greatness in the fields we chose quite young.
* Many of us have turned our lives around not once but numerous times in 30 years.
* We have had adventures we never dreamed of, and
* Experiences that changed us forever.
* We’ve loved and lost someone or something dear by now.
* We have lost last year Dr Manu Kothari sir , Emeritus Professor Anatomy Dept , a great philosopher , visionary & An out of the box thinker .
* We also lost our dear batch mate Manisha kavitkar few years ago and Girish Mistry this year in a fatal accident . In memory of them , I request you all , to please stand up for one minute in silence and pray for the departed souls to rest In Peace .
So this weekend we gather to exchange knowing smiles, pleasantries , share our stories if we must, hug each other, give a pat on the back and a high-five for surviving and thriving through the last three decades that changed the world utterly from the world we lived in at Seth G S Medical College . Ours is so called the Diamond Jubilee batch . Each of us Diamond, were shaped , carved , chiselled , polished & shined by these beloved teachers . It’s pay back time NOW .
With this thought coming in my mind , what would be a better place to celebrate this Grand 30 th reunion as the clock struck 8 o clock when we used to come for early morning lectures at MLT and revisit our undergraduate days .
That dream of coming back to the alma matter has got fulfilled today and what can I ask God then to choose this weekend to savour the delicious lip smacking punjabi samosa of our college canteen with batchmates and teachers , sit on the Katta and have a glass of cutting chai or Visit our library, dissection hall , iconic pathology museum or our departments and to be nostalgic of those times spend together …With books & secret clinics.
Now , on behalf of class of 1985 batch I welcome our guest of honour Dr G B Parulkar sir , Dr Avinash Supe Sir and Dr Lopa Mehta to please come on the Dias .
