St Judes Rocking

St Judes Yahoo group was made in 2003 by my classmate Ravi Bilgi.We had made this group so that Myself, Ravi,Jaydeep,Amol and few other friends of St Judes High School can come together. But only Ravi,Imran and I joined the group.After the group came to being there was no activity in it. Ravi was moderator and was busy with college. Even I was busy with my studies and no one gave second thought to the development of this Yahoo Group.Few weeks back Jaydeep and Dimple joined group.Jaydeep did a good job and roped in Divya,Sangeeta and Shubodini.
Jaydeep called me from Mumbai and we discussed in great detail on how to make his group a success. We started recalling all the people who were there in our batch of 1998 passout students. Slowly many names started to come out. I told Jay that I will make an excel sheet of all the students and upload on group website.After the call I started working on my laptop.And in 15 mins had list of about 55 students from our batch.I was amazed at my memory. I knew even surnames of most of my classmates with whom I had spent 12 yrs studying.I uploaded the list on group site. At that time I was happy to see names of Sangeeta and Shubodini.I had never expected them to be so fast in joining the group.
I took number of Shubodini from Jaydeep and called her. When I called on the number ; I came to know that it was cell number of Sangeeta, which jaydeep had given me by mistake. Now Sangeeta was my childhood crush and hated me like anything. We never spoke to each other in school days (an even after that).I expected that she will get angry and cut the phone with few good words.But instead she talked to me polietly.I dont remember when we had last conversation (or its possible that we never had one).
She asked me about my whereabouts (she didnt knew that I had shifted to Delhi) and had long chat. She had completed her education and was now working in South Indian Bank. We talked about our old friends and finished our first known (documented) conversation.At night I called Shubodini. I was talking to her after a gap of about 8 years. Last we had met was on our School send off party.After that she shifted to Link Road and then never heard of her.

Ravi is trying hard to make Sunita, Vinay,Kiran and others to join the group.
Hope they join soon.
