I came to this country in 1975 and took some years to settle down. In 1985, myself and some friends (Dilip Acquilla, Om Sharma, Vithal Mahagan, Dr Saksena, the late Dr P Shrivastava), and many other decided to have a meeting. In 1986, in Reading, we had our first 'get together'. About 20 doctors from Senior and Junior batches came along.
It was a great success. We made up a working body, i.e. President, Secretary and Treasurer.
In subsequent years we used to hold annual meetings in different parts of the UK. It was very successful, meeting friends and families. It was nice to see the small children and grown ups.
All Bhopali medics contributed in the success of the meetings, a few are special such as Dr Dilip, Dr Om, Dr Vithal, Dr Vinod, Dr Saksena, the late Dr Shrivastava, Dr Sushama and Dr Ali (brothers and sisters), Dr Karim, Dr Navin and many others. Please forgive me if I have not mentioned the other names. In a winning team everyone does not have to be a great scorer.
Later on, young doctors came and they took over the association and are still meeting every year and it is getting bigger and even more successful.

It was a momentous occasion - 50 years of our college. An institution to which we owe everything that we are today. And we certainly did full justice to the Golden Jubilee of gandhi Medical College. We paid respects to our teachers, solemnly remembered departed colleagues and then as the sun set and dipped behind the London skyline, we chatted, danced, sang and made merry while sailing up and down the Thames.
Savour the moments, enjoy the sights - keep them for posterity.
