But for this kind gesture from your end, my ailing wife, under palliative care for bone cancer and confined to the recliner chair since 2015 , would never have got such an opportunity to meet old friends and aluminus of GCC, apart from the great joy and excitement of meeting one of my favorite teachers, Prof. Michael Sir,(1960-63 Bsc Physics) after so many decades.It was really great that we could at least spend a couple of hours together, bringing back nostalgic sweet memories of those glorious younger years spent at GCC. This event has done a world of good to my wife in boosting her morale and lifting her spirits.We appreciate the time and efforts each one of you taken to make it to our house, despite torrential downpour and personal health problems.We also appreciate the time and efforts taken by Prof.Michael Sir to come down all the way for this event and make such a huge and meaningful contribution for the well-being of the college student community.My wife joins me in expressing our heartfelt gratitude to each one of you for making this occasion really a great and memorable one for us. ?.
