Laljee not longer a ghost who talks..

Well well well....looks like blog is not a core elphinstonian trait but I wll not give up.....atleast yet ;).
This weekend Amyt was in town...wearing his blazer and gving gyaan to the grads of a certain school n Pune. Met up with Amyt and Fazan Lal on Saturday night.. caught up with Lajee n flesh...although I have not seen him in 18 years he is recognizable. We could hardly meet him for 10 mins but let stake baby steps and get him acclimatzed to us ;). He has a cute ...very cute daughter after the intial inhibitions she came along just fine and bid us farewell with a couple of roses...what a sweetheart.
And then on Sunday inght..get a call from Amyt and guess what, he was enjoying drinks with Maxim Cuto...talked to Maxim and exchanged a few civilities and will bump into him the next time I am in town....which as of now is not scheduled.

Also to know what happened to Salims Tandoori chicken...please find out about it on facebook;).

table for 6 please



The place Kobe's Hill Road Bandra. The people in flesh Salim, sonia, shahrukh 'bawa' dordi,amyt,Sunil Lahane, me
n neeraj on the phone. It was nice meeting up n reminiscing
of historical events;).
Shahrukh graced the occasion surprising most of us n was
Flying to Singapore this evening. Added flavor with his colorful language;-)
and of course the dudes put on weight n balding (sorry bro just could not miss the barren patch ;))
Sal n Son were a bit under the weather but glad u guys made it n of course for
sharing who was going out with whom n when ;). These guys have not changed a bit, look the same.
Sunil..updated with all the controversies during the eclair queen and rose queen days and that he could be always found at the cafeteria...eligible for Elphis Catering degree ;)
Amyt was his usual humorous self with quite a few kilos
added to his personality n of course a big thank u for
organizing this, could not have made it this far.
So guys this is just the beginning let this continue n let the
good times roll.
It was so well worth the trip from Pune to the 'city'.
[update] Pics stolen from Amyts Facebook upload ;)

Post by Salim Kapasi

Hi guys!I was overjoyed to see a blog with our names in it (almost felt like a celebrity!)Where is everybody and what’s happening in your lives?! Nerissa in newzealand? Last I knew she was in the middle east somewhere J how are you doing nerry? And Amit…sorry Amyt… cool numerology there… still on your veg spree? Wassup man? Sonia and me are doing fine. I am back from my 2 year stint in Africa doing a sabbatical and commodities trading, which was a major diversification from my technology career. (I was earlier into visual design and rich media communications…from there to a trader..no actually an African baniya! Right now we are on our way (hopefully by October 08) to Mississauga, Canada. Sonia is with HSBC and getting a job transfer there and I am basically tagging along as a house husband! We have a great kid called saahir-11 yrs…and he is my current source of inspiration and entertainment! So when and hows the reunion happening? Do write asap and forward me sid’s and chills email ids too if you happen to have them. Salim kapasi

SID KHARE:
Man..its has been ages since I heard from the people on this blog. Hats off to Bhatia - you have been one hell of a resourceful blogger to get all of us connected.

Elphi days seem a lifetime ago -- I remember doing TP in the alcoves, eating kilos of potato-omelet's in the milk bar and copying in the maths exams from Murtuza. This was followed by our after college beer drinking sessions at Mondi's (we graduated to Gokul -- but that's another story reserved for another blog). I do remember all of us being at our best behaviour at Nerrisa's birthday party at her home (if I remember well, she used to stay next to one of our English prof's) -- Lawrence what are you doing in New Zealand??.

The world is a small place though and I have bumped into 2 guys from Elphi here in Kuwait -- one is Sampat the guy who used to manage the Elphi canteen he now manages a bunch of restaurants. Another is Parker (I forget his first name), I bumped into him at an ATM a year back. He works for DHL -- I will fish out his card and invite him to this blog.

And ohh yessss, Chhil, before I left Mumbai, I met Swaroop, she works for HPCL and the first thing she asked me was if I was in touch with you and had your number -- so dude you know who you have to absolutely get in touch with.

That's all for now. Do stay in touch.
