Happy Birthday to our Blog

Today is the first day of the beginning of the third year for our blog.
Two years is a long time in this age where gadgets become obsolete in 6 months.
When we started this blog on 21st September, 2007, I had no idea which direction it would take or how long it would last. The idea just struck me when I attended the first pre-centenary get-together at Bengal Club.
There have been differences of opinion and we have agreed to differ.
The articles contributed mostly by you have been on a wide variety of subjects which have maintained the interest of our readers. Rather, this blog would not have generated the interest it has without your contributions. I have maintained all along that it is our blog.
Since the blog is read by families and all age of children, we have tried to keep the reading matter suitable for everybody.
I know most of you will agree with me when I say that we would have appreciated more interest from our school, Goethals by way of news about the school and articles. The principal in his wisdom may have wanted his wards to concentrate on their studies and not be distracted by blogs.
We accept his decision with all humility.
We have tried to make the blog inclusive so that all the hill schools of Darjeeling can contribute articles. We have been successful to a certain extent but not as much as we would have wanted.
One of the best achievements has been to help each other with job opportunities. WE hope this co-operation will continue.
Another beneficial spinout has been the starting of our Alumni website which is being actively followed up by Ranjan Guha Mazumdar. We hope the website will make our boys more inter-active.
I sincerely hope that all of us continue the co-operation to celebrate many for birthdays of our blog.
