Golden Jubilee OBA meet at SSBJ

Sainik School Bijapur is my Alma mater. The Old Boys Association and school management had planned grand events throught the golden Jubilee year including a visit by President of India Shri Pranab Mukherjee. 

I joined SSBJ on 8th June 1988, I clearly remember that day. It has been more than 25 years since then. Our batch 1988-95 was the silver Jubilee batch.
Went to school after 18 long years.

Started from Belgaum in Manju's Bolero. Clear skies typical North Karnataka fields and dry air makes one Nostalgic. We miss many things in Bangalore.

This is 1000 year old temple renovated. Just before Mudhol.

Still remember we lost south zone finals on this very ground by just a single point. Match that brought tears.

Parade Ground, where we spent our Monday mornings and Thursday afternoons.

Recreation hall, too many memories of goofing around during afternoon and night preps.

Anteroom - Socks ball cricket, shoe polishing and second sunday snacks

Evening function was spectacular and attendance was great. Met many many people Teachers, Support staff, seniors, juniors and remembered the grand old days.

Only Ginde and Manja were fit, rest unfit.

Inside SR Kanthi Auditorium. I hated public speaking and this view still scares me.

It was a memorable reunion. Thanks to the OBA and school management for providing us an opportunity and live the school life for a day. We stayed in Wodeyar house.
