I landed in Mysore from Coimbatore when I was 10 years old. I instantly fell in love with the place. The huge footpaths on Ballal Circle Road, the huge, shady,  colorful Ashoka trees, the corner churmuri gaadi and the list is endless. I had my schooling in Christ the King Convent, one, Sister Magdella was the Principal then. Later did my PUC in JSS and Bsc in Biochemistry in Maharani's (Smt.Parvathamma was the princi) and there was this handsome looking lecturer named Champaknath(sericulture Dept), I completed my PG in Manasagangothri and my hsuband loves Mysore too and the Gangothri campus!.He was a student in SJCE. Through this forum, we are hoping to retrace a few of our missed friends. One is Prof.Gururaj,who was in the English Dept.(Gangothri).after he retired we have lost touch and will appreciate any links from anybody. - Shailaja, Toronto, Canada,   shylit@gmail.com
