Dear Friends,

Our Web Site should be spinning on the World Wide Web within the next few days.

The Web Site is being conceived as a COMMON Web Site for GOETHALS ALUMNI and not exclusively for the Kolkata Chapter. A Search of the World Wide Web (WWW) has revealed that there are NO Web Sites either exclusively of any Chapter nor a Common Site for all Goethals Alumni. Although a Search for Goethals Memorial School or even Goethals Alumni may throw up many results / links.

Anyway, we hope and expect that all Goethals Alumni (all over the world) will join us in expanding the site and making this a Comprehensive Web Site for Ex-Goethalites.

I have started off with the following links

• Goethals Memorial School
o History
o School Anthem
o Past Principals
o Present Principal
o Notable Alumni
o Photo Gallery
• Goethals Alumni (Kolkata)
o Registration
o Governing Body
o Members
o Activities
o Photo Gallery
o Contact
Please remember that this is just the beginning and we shall be adding / modifying and expanding as we go along. So, PLEASE MAIL ME YOUR SUGGESTIONS / IDEAS of what you would like to see on the Web Site.

Plan to expand the Web Site with Batch-Wise Sub-Domains where we can have photographs etc. exclusive to a particular batch.

For POSTING OF MESSAGES etc,. an Exclusive BLOG has already been created http://goethalsalumni.blogspot.com/ and this Blog will be linked via the Main Web Site including Radheshyam’s existing and popular Blog. You may START using the Blog and posting your messages right away.

In addition, we shall be creating and allotting exclusive E-mail ID’s for the Office Bearers which they can use and download mails to this mail ID using their existing E-Mail clients like Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express etc.

I request the following from our friends :
1. Photographs of common interest. For the time being please avoid batch photos. We will upload these later in Sub-Domains. Preferably please make these photos available to me on CD to retain their quality.
2. Information that you feel should find a place on the Web Site
3. Passport size photographs of all Governing Body Members.
4. Photographs related to the Centenary Celebrations.
5. Photographs of the school and various functions / occasions like Sports, Con\cert etc. Please provide clear Captions identifying each photo
6. Name of all Principals till the present Principal
7. Information on other Chapters / Alumni in other parts of the country / globe
8. Etc.

In short, please let your suggestions flow with what ever you may have with you by way of Photos, Articles, etc.

Please also HELP us by circulating this mail amongst your friends / batch-mates where ever they may be so that we can get access to lot of information, photos etc.

Waiting for your mails.

Thanks

Ranjan Guha Majumder

Dear Anthony.

Refer to our meeting earlier this morning. As already informed, the Web Site, as suggested by you and few others, is on the verge of being launched. Sheall be informing you more in detail about that in a few days.

Meanwhile, a BLOG (for posting messages) has already been created and you may start using the same by going to http://goethalsalumni.blogspot.com/. Ofcourse ultimately this will be linked to the Web Site along with the Blog being already maintained by Radheshyam which has already become very popular over the years.

I am requesting everyone to provide me Photos etc. (preferably on CD) so that these can be Uploaded to the Web Site thus making these available to everyone in any part o the Globe to see, enjoy and comment. Besides photos, any stories, incidences yokes etc. which you all feel would make our site more informative, and enjoyable would be welcome.

Please also help us with more of your ideas and suggestions,

Thanks N Regards

Dear Friend,

May I make a small correction - it was not a British MP but Sarojoni Naidu who said that " it costs us a lot of money to enable Ghandiji to travel Third Class - "

Best wishes,

Dear Devaprosad,

Thanks, I stand corrected.
Your are right.
Sarojini Naidu said " it cost the nation a fortune to keep Gandhi living in poverty"

Cheers,
Radheshyam
