AMC batch 1959
Today (November 25, 2022), quite accidentally, while deleting some posts to create some space on my phone, I happened to stumble upon the following post from 'Gajanan' !!!. This prompted me to open a 'page' titled "AMC batch 1959", on this blog today, to include whatever material is available about this batch. This should have been done long ago -- it's already nearly 4 years since we all met at Vizag. All the existing batch-mates are requested to send any material (photos, writings, etc.) for inclusion in this blog. They may be posted on my email ( drtramaprasad@gmail.com ) or our WhatsApp group, 'AMC batch 1959' which will be copied and pasted in this digital piece which would be accessible on the Internet for anybody to see from anywhere in the world, anytime. The link is: https://drtramaprasad.blogspot.com/2017/04/amc-batch-1959.html
GAJANAN, the great
September 25, 2021.
I did not post anything on this “AMC batch 1959” WhatsApp Group’s page since August 9, 2021. When Gajanan is not here to read and enjoy, what’s the point in posting ? In his last post on this page, on July 29, 2021, he wrote “I would love to see him (Dr. Sathyavati’s grandson) on my next visit to Boston. Please give me his phone number and email ID.” This is just an example of the legendary quality of his “communication, commitment, compassion and compromise” in the words of Krishnam Raju of Sydney. Achuta Rama Rao Vyakaranam, whose part of his body is Gajanan, had no words to effectively express the loss. Akkala Naidu had rightly said “we lost our voice.” The efficiency, grit and determination of the team which conducted our LAST meet is ‘well-mentioned’ by Ravipati Prasada Rao as an outcome of Gajanan’s “skill of perseverance and persuasion” in getting so many classmates from so many geographical locations together on January 24 & 25, 2019. As factually mentioned by Ramachander, “we lost KOHINOOR of our batch.” We all belonged to that old-school sans digital reach. Gajanan made us all a bit literate on the Internet. He spent a lot of time during those two days in January studiously collecting our digital contact IDs while we were all enjoying the time. It was Gajanan who inspired me to open this “AMC batch 1959 WhatsApp Group” to keep us connected. He wrote in one of his email communications that he takes “attendance” of our batch-mates every month to confirm that all of us are present in this world ! He was taking “attendance” for us in the department of Bio-chemistry ! After August 9, 2021, who will do that job ? As his name suggests, he had been an ‘elephantine head’ for our batch, watching over the herd of ‘AMC batch 1995’. As the Captain left the ship, the Co-captains should fill the void.
In his email of April 23, 2021, while attaching his poem “Naa swaagatham yevariki cheppaydi”, he wrote: “I thought why not follow our greatest Telugu writers of our class, Dr. Achuta Rama Rao and Murali Mohan Krishna. I can write like them !” His scholarly contributions and philanthropic initiatives have been laudable. ‘Anuragamayi Educational Scholarship Trust’, which he founded is an example of how he was actively engaged to help poor students against so many odds. Though my association with Gajanan had been very short and distant, his communications to me had been very close and emotional. There are only a few in this world, like Gajanan, who had so thoroughly read and enjoyed my “scribblings.”
He wrote to me on June 7, 2021: “Dear Dr. Rama Prasad, … Hats off to you and I congratulate you again and again. We are all proud of you. … We came to know of your whereabouts very late, but we enjoyed your company in our last alumni meeting. May God give us both long life to see more writings by you. … The words of Prof. C. H. Sivaraman are a proof of your talent and mettle, besides charity. Among our classmates, two more, Dr. Radha Rama and Dr. Sitarama Swamy are still helping many patients like you. ..” Even while I was thinking of writing a reply to this communication and mulling over an idea of contributing to his ‘educational trust’, God had decided to take care of Gajanan hereafter.

The riveting scene of a huge trunk and numerous prop roots of a banyan tree, and a huge statue of Buddha which could be seen through the huge window is very memorable. I don't know how many of you remember seeing it at the Green Park Hotel where we had the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations. Hats off to the architect who cared not only to save the tree which may be older than us, but also extending its undefinable beauty into the lobby of the hotel through the gigantic window !!! See more about TREES & PLANTS in the link below.
NATURE is great ( https://drtramaprasad.blogspot.com/2017/04/trees-and-plants_29.html ).
The centrally seated lady in pink sari in the above photo is my sister NIRMALA DEVI who came all the way from Singapore just to be with us to share the experience of the Diamond Jubilee celebration. She studied M.Sc. Botany in Andhra University along with my wife RAJYALAKSHMI (seated next to Nirmala in the photo) as her classmate and roommate at the same time when we were all in the final year / internship at AMC. After the Celebration, we three had the pleasure of staying for a couple of days with my nephew B. R. PRASAD and his son HARADEEP and their family members who settled in Visakhapatnam.

Dear All our Friends,
Kindly see the Paper cutting on the day of retirement of
Our Classmate, Dr Sreeramulu Kankipati, Forensic Pathologist, who worked for
the government of Barbados for more than 2 decades.
Now, he settled down in California, USA. Due to many health problems, he is not sure whether he can make the trip
to Vyzag in Jan 2019. I am boosting his morale and immunity to withstand the journey to India. We did not know about him
and his address, hence, he could not take part in any one of our re-unions until now.
We pray the Almighty to give him adequate strength to him such that, he can come to Vyzag with full support from his devoted wife.
Prof NG Rao
984-910-3439 and 767-397-2459
PS: Some of our friends have been asking me how to send the subscription for our re-union. All of you kindly bring cash to the receptionist
table of our get-together and pay to one of our classmates meant to handle the cash. If you have credit card or debit card, you can withdraw
cash in the hotel or any where nearby. We will not be able to handle cheques or demand drafts as we experienced problems last time.
The hotel people accept both cash and credit/debit cards for the room rent.

Hi, BULLET (Laxminarayana Reddy) !!!
Thank you for your compliment on my writing faculty and for remembering me. I have a bit of photography talent which I owe it to you ... read the following excerpt from my 'scribbling' titled "My Love Story & Good Old Days" to understand how I owe it to you.
" ... My father used to send me Rs.100 per month by ‘postal money order’ (an amount which may not be sufficient to have a good breakfast in a good hotel today !). Postman used to come to the hostel and deliver the money. Bank services were not well developed; credit cards, debit cards and online transactions were not even in the dreams. After paying the ‘hostel mess bill’ I used to lavish a little of the extra money for my hobby of photography. The Yashika roll film camera (no digital cameras in those days; and mostly ‘Black & White’ pictures) of one of my classmates (V.L.N. Reddy who settled in UK ) used to be with me always. ..."
What happened to that Yashika camera ? Perhaps, it found its way into a garbage bin !
Dear Bullet and other friends, click on the following link of the 'scribbling' I referred to above which would take you down memory lane to the 1960s in Vizag: http://drtramaprasad.blogspot.com/2017/05/good-old-days.html
Where are N.V. Chalam, P. L. Rama Dayal, J. Prabhakara Reddy, Satya Pal (Body builder), that Anglo-Indian girl, Simpson, and that tall hefty figure who used to wear a neck tie as a clinical student ?

Dear Friends,
I thought why not to follow our greatest telugu writers of our class Dr Achyuta Rama Rao and Murali Mohan Krishna ? I can't write like them.
I am making a small effort. I used to write few real classical telugu poems in my SSLC days and a Loyola College (Intermediate) and left it and forgot.
I wrote few Free hand English poems in BSc and MB;BS and I left that also 60 years back.
Please read the attached poems and try to give me answers on behalf of GOD.
