On January 2, 2025, amidst my busy research schedule, my wife requested that I accompany her to Amrutha Garden Convention Centre in Ambagilu for the wedding of her former student, Mr. Nithin. She had taught Nithin during his postgraduate studies at Manipal. His father Mr. Nithyananda Nayak was also known to me when he was working at Manipal.
We left home around 11:30 AM and reached the venue by 11:50 AM. The event turned out to be a delightful reunion as I had the chance to reconnect with several old friends, including Dr. R. P. Pai, Mr. Kamath, Mr. Prakash Rao, and the Physical Director of Vaikunta Baliga College of Law, Udupi, among others.
At 12:15 PM, we sat down for lunch, enjoyed the festive atmosphere, and extended our best wishes to the newlyweds. By 1:30 PM, we bid farewell to the venue and returned home, cherishing the warm memories of the day.
