Reunion - a fascinating learning

Hi all,

We, engineering gradtuates of CIT (Coimbatore Insititute of Technology), Coimbatore had a reunion at our college it self. It was an grand event.

I would like to mention something different. It was a different experience no where you will get and no one can offer you. It gives a different learning in life… No one can fast forward our life and show things… but reunion helped us rewinding our thoughts with visual effects that provided self-feedback. It taught us to give importance to the right things in life. The importance that we gave to few things during our college days is immaterial today. For example, I am sure if we had met 5 or 10 years after college, our conversation would have been about salary, purchase of house, etc. But in the reunion no one discussed about it. Most of the discussion was surrounding the family and about the kids.

The decisions we made changed us at different point in time. The reunion in a way helped us understand how each step with dedication and confidence helped. There is nothing right or wrong in the decisions we had taken but as long as you do it dedicatedly and sincerely you will be a grand success.

I can give some of the examples from my own observations.

I used to think that talented persons like MP Ganesan are stuck in PSUs like NLC. But talking to him a bit suggested to me that he is doing amazing things there. They are using latest technology to take the thermal energy out without evacuating the local people. I am glad about his decision of joining NLC; and our NLC got a talented engineer. He is paying back to our country. Similarly many of CITians are with Government organizations doing more than a job. Namasivayam is the one who is brain behind running Kadamparai power plant running smoothly. Stalin is in vigilance identifying the faulty man machines. All of us know our rocket Dhan’s contributions in Indian Government’s ambitious plans. Visiting a country with a Diplomatic Visa, I consider a feather in the cap. We can list of many such achivers.....

Personally I was glad when current principal of CIT emphasized that they are happy to see 17% of CIT84 are entrepreneur as I am one of them.

Reunion - a fascinating learning. It was worth a time and money spent. Don’t miss next time.

Let us look for ways to paying back to our society.

With warm regards,
-Gri
