Reunion day

April 20th was some sort of red-letter day and Stephen was literal sporting and spouting red! Sahji, Sreenath, Riju and me came together after a really long period, we had been on our own ways and there was never much chance to meet, but with the magnetic Riju around there was no escaping. The ocassion also was a happy one for Dr Anirudhan who now heads the dept at Kariavattom for the next 3 years. Shaji is dabbling with Metamorphism as well as Hydrogeology these days, and his MSc students have started looking into the fluid processes in cordierite formation from the KKB. With a US govt GIS analyst in the form of Riju offering collaboration the dept's GIS endeavors are bound to get a boost, as also some international exposure.
