In retirement, I've found that I don't often miss the social events and gatherings tied to my former classmates or students. Yet, on July 3, 2024, a unique opportunity arose to reconnect with old friends. That morning, at 8:30 AM, I embarked on a journey to Mangalore to attend the wedding of Suresh Upadhya's son. Suresh, a dear former classmate and retired employee of Corporation Bank, had graciously invited me to this significant occasion.
I arrived at the Sanganikethana
wedding hall around 10:00 AM, where the day quickly turned into a delightful
trip down memory lane. It was heartwarming to reunite with many of my BBM
classmates from Poornaprajna College, Udupi. The atmosphere was charged with
nostalgia as we reminisced about our college days, exchanging stories and
laughter.
Among the familiar faces were
Parameshwar Adiga and his wife, Madhusoodan, CR Sridhar and his wife, and
Raghavendra (affectionately known as Polla) and his spouse. Each reunion felt
like a rekindling of the strong bonds we had forged years ago. I also had the
pleasure of meeting Raghavendra, a classmate of Shreemathi, who graciously
introduced me to several of his relatives.
Following the wedding ceremony,
we were invited to Parameshwar Adiga's residence. His home reflected his
meticulous nature, with a beautifully organized interior and a lush collection
of plants that infused the space with a sense of calm and serenity.
