YPS get-together
The Aitchisonian Yadavindrian Old Students’ Association (AYOSA), ably led in Chandigarh by Jaspal Sekhon, has been making valiant efforts to get the old boys and girls of the school together. We meet this Saturday, in the evening at North Park. There will be a significant presence from by class—Gurpreet Bhattal, Rajbirinder Chahal, Tina and Sunil Jain, Birinder Gill, we all live in Chandigarh. What were we like in 1970?

One foot in Lahore
A phulkari of colourful memories, shared culture, food and literature tie Pakistanis and Indians. Periodic visits from those across the border invariably trigger nostalgia and bonhomie that underscores the depth of the relations, which transcends the differences that periodically erupt between the two governments more than the people. Yadavindra Public School, Patiala, where I spent most of my schooling years, and where I passed out from, traces its lineage back to Aitcheson College, Lahore. As such, it was with great pleasure that I was a part of a group of Old Boys that received the Aitchisonians in Chandigarh, and their Principal, who I met at two seminars on art years ago.
