Nostalgia 101: A 4 credit course

Oct 8th was Ayudha Pooja here where people offer blessings to the Worksman.. In honour of the craftsman Vishwakarma actually! Now none can complain I dont provide general knowledge in my blog :)

Point in hand: Ayudha pooja in the dept of chemical engineering, NITK and a handful of students were there throughout the "emotional" experience which prompted one and all to shed copious tears! But it was all worth it when we got a chance to see hitherto unseen and unheard of pictures: I had to make do with my Nokia N73 (Gloat..) with its 3.2 MP camera and my height handicap here wrt to pictures but hope you can make sense of them nonetheless:

Download the pics and get a better view


See Saidutta, GM, DVRM and GOD in their prime!
One more- The 4 seem inseparable even as early as 1993.. Enid Blyton would probably make a detective series on them to give competition to Famous Five, Secret Seven etc.. How does the Fatal Four sound?? Gimme more names, I would love to hear on this..



Saved the best for last: Thatha as he is most fondly called, the dashing young man in the red circle is Prof MS Kamath (Someone contact Ripley's Believe it or Not!).. This particular pic was taken in 1968..
Is it worth the hassle to try to get better pics from a professional digi-cam by trying to convince the lab attendents to open this magic portal to the past (A rotting cupboard and a wall actually)? I will think about it!
