It had been three years since the batch of 2011-13 trained at Central Academy Dehradun had parted ways . Being such a close knit batch, we all had missed each other . However in the month of December 2016, a 7 days workshop was organised for the batch at CASFoS Coimbatore on Working Plan -2014.
The training was organised from 26-31st December. With a heavy heart , it being the festive season in Meghalaya, I left for Coimbatore along with Hamklet . It was a long long journey with having to chage flight twice including a agonising 7 hour halt in Mumbai Airport. Fortunately the presence of Hamklet by my side served to wean away boredom.
It was 9.50 PM when the flight landed at Coimbatore . As Hamklet and I were waiting for our luggage , suddenly I was embraced by a tight hug from behind and to my utter surprise it was good Ol'Sunny Verma. We had travelled from Chennai in the same flight but unfortunately out of sheer tiredness we did not see each other. Joy knew no bounds as we met each other again. Thereafter we all collected out luggage and boarded a OLA cab for our stay which had been arranged in a family hotel called Ananya's Nest near the training centre.
We then met Good Ol Rishi Mishra and Uday Dhage who had come along with their respective spouses. Thereafter we all settled in for the night.
The next morning, it was a joyous union as Urvashi Thakur,Seema D, Hemant Yadav ,Prashant PKM ( i still dont know his full name sigh) , Harish ( still skinny like before) met.
The inaugral session was followed by introductory lectures followed by high tea. Later in the afternoon we were joined by the Madya Pradesh Bandwagon in the form of dear ol Amit Patodi ( still same and jolly like before) , Sanjay ( still jolly as ever) ,Rakesh Kodape (with a jolly paunch now) and as a surprise in the form of Priyanka Chaudhary.
Thereafter , it was all a joyous selfie craze as there were no efforts spared to try and capture whatever moments we were able to share with each other again. However inspite of all this craze, we spared no efforts to learn from the valuable lectures that was taken that day at the academy .
