One of the regular contributors to Seventh Heaven, 62er Adil Gandhi, let us into a get-together held in Mumbai last week. (I just watched Cyrus on a CNN programme - looked very knowledgeable and distinguished!)

Dear Jacob,
I have just mailed you a few Pics from our dinner party held at my home in Bandra, Bombay last night where a few of us old Cathedralites of the '62,'63 & '64 batch were there.
They were mostly friends that Ivan Nissim was associated with, since he had come down to Bombay from Israel, where he has been living the past over 40 years and whom he wanted to catch up with.
We truly had a great fun evening, what with this 'funny showman' Ivan keeping us double folded up with laughter with not only some brilliantly orated jokes, but also describing various incidents in school as also his inimical imitations of various teachers.
Every one truly had a great evening and a few of us hope to go up to Matheran next week end, where Ivan usually proceeds to spend 10 days at his favourite beloved Hill station 'Matheran' where he spent some most memorable times of his childhood and school holidays.
Regards
Adil
I do remember Ivan - but thought he was an overtly quiet person in school. Savage House?
Still waters run deep!
Any more part-time school oriented stand-up comedians around - I am sure they will be in good demand for Reunions!
Thanks for the input Adil. (Other photos went into the appropriate albums!)
