Rajaramians 68-69 P.D. Science Batch Life History post P.D.Sc. An earnest appeal to the Batchmates We are sure your life story, since the time we went our separate ways, is of interest to the other batchmates. That is why it would be very useful if you can describe it by filling up the enclosed template. Please do not be unnecessarily modest while creating this document. We, the batchmates, will be proud of your achievements, small or big. Do not feel constrained by the technicalities and/or interpretation of the terms used in the template. For example, do not worry too much if your achievement is really special or not, do go ahead and put it under Special Achievements regardless! Important thing is to provide as much information as possible. Remember, more the information you give, more will be the chances of developing contacts and a network that can be mutually beneficial for furthering business, post-retirement occupation, hobbies, social networking, matrimonial alliances etc. etc.! So, do find some time and put in the required effort for your sake and for the sake of your batchmates. Please create this document as a Microsoft Word file, using a computer and email it to Vijay Karnad at __________. And, even if you do not know how to use a computer or do not have access to one, or do not have an email account, this is the only kind of information we do not want to know! So, please use whatever means you can (computer savvy spouse/children, relatives, neighbours, cyber café, or whatever) and send a computer file as above.
We expect your life history document in the email box of Vijay Karnad by 15th January, 2009. Thanks and all the best.
