Great Job - Sanjay and Manju

Kudos to Sanjay and Manju (as well as Technology) to get the IPM’s Class of 88 together after 20 years – bees saal baad

Pride is an important ingredient in one life - It gives me great amount of pride to see all of us doing well and rocking after 2 decades – in different walks of life, different parts of the world, accomplishing new heights and still belonging to an alliance – a strong alliance that got formed – I would say to a great extent by the act of nature and here we are now talking about it.

When we were at Modipuram – a big question in our mind was – so what are we going to do when we leave IPM – what profession are we going to go into – lot of What’s – Great to see how the answer to that What continues to unfold in front of us and still holds us together with the alliance that was developed in IPM - Class of 88.

I look forward to hearing and sharing our experiences during our individual travels in the last 20 years from all of us.

With Best Wishes,

Vipul

Hi Vipul!

Welcome!

Now I know why it took so long for you to respond to Sanjays invitation.

You were working on script for your opening comments.

Intellectual / philosophical.

Vipul, your mentioning of "IPM - Class of 88" has trigered an idea.

I have just completed "The Class" by Erich Segal. There is a constant mention of "class of 58" ( of Harvard) in the book . It starts with joining Harvard and ends with the silver Jublee reunion.

Anyway the idea is that some day when we run out of topics and when i am feeling a bit more enterprising i will open a new note on books and we all can share some interesting readings (i.e. if we are still doing) with each other.

Manju:

Getting discussion on Books is a very good idea - there are lot of things happening in this world that affect all of us - Sanjay and I had been discussing various aspects of Globalization in different industries - Electronics, Healthcare etc. - and how to be part of it.

Next 50 years – world we live in is going to go through lot changes – our place can be defined as a Leader or a Follower in the future – our place will be determined by our own knowledge and interest – regardless of which day to day activity we are involved in – business, profession, job, homecare executive, etc. - And regardless of which city, state, country we live in.

Looking forward to your leadership with next steps. Vipul
