I was googling today to see if Loyola had a website and stumbled upon your blog. If any of my old (literally) classmates see this email me at selvyn@hotmail.com. I’m from the class of ’73.

Within Kerala, I think the movie 'Classmates' contributed to the phenomenon. In Loyola's case, I feel individuals came forward voluntarily to fill the space vacated by LOBA.

Getting more of the alumni involved... I have made feeble efforts, feeble, partly because of the limit of my contacts from my batch plus whether they really heed anything that I do say/send out to them. I guess the '70 batch, age wise, puts us bordering the grandfather category which could be ascribed as a reason for lack of initiative in getting involved. One name that did come up recently who I inadvertently came to know about is a luminary in the corporate world back home: http://www.thehindu.com/2008/03/19/stories/2008031952991000.htm . I did have a conversation with Ramnath , when he was on a visit to the U.S, and mentioned the blog. We re-established contact after 39 years via our mutual friend Jogey Puthumana('70 batch), a doctor, who lives and works in Manhattan. Anyway, belated as it is thought that this may at least reaffirm my good intentions towards the spirit of this post. Ashok, its to my discredit that I missed this.

I am not permitted to spill the beans. ;) Even at the back of our mind when we know that we are doing a wrong thing, we sometimes continue to do the wrong thing. So, there might be a moral code, but we interpret it conveniently. But yes, we are not very likely to find a Loyolite indulging in the giant criminalities, the super scams...maybe it's because we are good, risk-averse Mallus, or maybe it's because we are a small crowd, or maybe we know how to get away with crime. “Someone must have done something really bad…” — ssssh!

I love this one. I'm surprised there arent more infamous Loyolites. Someone must have done something really bad, its just a matter of numbers I guess. Or do you think the moral code thats imbibed by loyolites early in school life makes sure the rotten apples are few and far in between? Interesting thought nonetheless.
