Our stay at the institute had to be abruptly ended as Joe and Priscilla had insisted upon our staying with them. So, there was another round of packing of our personal effects to move next door.
It was a roller coaster of emotions from then on. It was the reunion of the Directing Staff gang of '82 of the NDA Wing, Ghorpuri and eventhough the get together could not garner everyone's presence, those who'd made it to the evening, ensured that the event was a memorable one. The dominant emotion was the genuine thrill to meet each other and be part of the show that we could ultimately pull off. Those of us who could not be around compensated it by taking in a running commentary of the goings on from each one of us, in turn, thereby ensuring interaction with one and all.
My take.
What makes such groupings possible? It's universal that there are groupings and bondings that stay active by having a close knit communication, all through. But I'd like to believe that our gang of '82 had the singular aim of bringing up the cadets with the right values and towards that end, we'd studied, played and enjoyed every moment with the youngsters. And that is the cornerstone of our relationship!
Tailpiece.
Joe and Priscilla stay in one of the sprawling bungalows on the 'Prince of Wales drive'. And they've maintained it with their characteristic elan and class. For us it's become a home away from home!
