Could you share some cherished memories
from your time at St. George’s College?
Sukhit Narula, Batch of 1975: Looking
back, I can honestly say it was the best time
of my life, though we didn’t realise it at the
time. It only occurred to us after we had left
the school. The experience was awesome.
Picture a school of 450 students, where
an entire mountain served as our campus,
equipped with every facility you could think
of. The people were great, and the school
was great - everything about it was amazing.

Rapin Kukreja, Batch of 1972: I have so
many fond memories from that time. I was
somewhat of a teacher’s pet, close to both Sukhit Narula,1975
the teachers and the school principal, which
meant I could get away with quite a few
shenanigans that others couldn’t! [Laughs]
Looking back, I can definitely say it was the
most enjoyable time of my life.

Pravin Chawla, Batch of 1977: I joined
the school back in 1969 when I was just
nine years old. My fondest memory of my
time there is undoubtedly the positive
impact it has left on my life. The school
not only taught us valuable lessons, but also
provided numerous opportunities. Today,
our strength and resilience can largely be
attributed to our education, our teachers,
and most importantly, our friends - many
of whom are here tonight! Thanks to St.
George’s College, Mussoorie, we all have
very strong foundations.

How does it feel to be back in the school
spirit, reconnecting with everyone?
Sukhbir ‘Sam’ Singh Sethi, Batch of 1976:
I believe we all share a strong fondness Rapin Kukreja,1972 Pravin chawla,1977
for the school. After spending so many
years together, the bonds we’ve formed
are truly unimaginable. Fortunately, my
group of classmates meet up quite often, so
we’ve managed to stay closely connected
and frequently attend each other’s events.
However, we haven’t had as much
opportunity to interact with the younger
alumni, so this event is particularly exciting
for that reason.

Nikorn Sachdev, Batch of 1993: I hold a
lot of admiration for the school, particularly
because of the friendships I forged there. It
truly shaped us into who we are today, and
instilled in us a strong sense of discipline.
I’m delighted that eight of my friends have
travelled all the way from India to attend this
function. It’s always wonderful to reminisce
about our childhood memories, the fun
times we shared, and to revel in the burst
of memories that come flooding back.
