Varun SJB Rana H – 01

 20th July 2018 marked the Third OS Nepal Chapter meet, though I would personally like to recognize it as an OS meet in Nepal, owing to the wonderful representation from our Indian counterparts and their families. 

The support and representation from the OS Society Executive Members, has instilled a sense of undeniable Sanawarian brotherhood in our young chapter, and we are motivated to make this annual celebration of our alma mater, better and better every year. We recognize Mr. Vivek Mehra’s (LSS Board Member) kind words as he spoke to the gathering, and stated that such chapters not only strive to help sanawarians, but ‘Humanity’ as a whole. Maj.Gen. Kr Vijay S Lalotra (LSS Board Member) was very inspiring, when he shared with us, the vision of the ‘Sanawar Master Plan’. And we as a chapter would love to help in any way we can, in the achievement of the mentioned plan. It was a pleasure to have Mr. Jaideep Chandail, OS Secretary, who also shared the vision and purpose of the OS Society. Mr. Prabodh Shahi V-02, who in my opinion has been the sole beacon of light that has diligently brought the Nepal Chapter to a point where it is today. Least to say, the above mentioned gentlemen, were all accompanied by their better halves, and we could not be happier to have them with us. 

The Nepal Chapter was happy to announce the First Chapter Head Gen. Gaurav SJB Rana, H-72 (Retd. Nepal Chief of Army Staff). We could not be happier that our First Chapter Head Chair was taken by Gen. Rana, the responsibility of which was very well articulated by Maj.Gen. KVS Lalotra. The new committee established under the leadership of Gen. Rana, responsible for organizing the evening, were appreciated; the wonderful turnout of nearly 50 OS including spouses is owed to their generous efforts. The committee membership has been kept open and voluntary, and is in the process of being structured. A special thank you, to Mrs. Rahisha Shah V-98, for sponsoring the bar, and all the collections, were generously donated by her to the OS Nepal Society.

 On Behalf of the Baber Mahal team, I would like to convey that, it has been our pleasure to have this wonderful get together in Baber Mahal Revisited, and we appreciate the support from the OS Nepal Chapter. After a round of singing the School Song, we got back to catching up and talking of our dear Sanawar, and the butter chicken did not disappoint, leading to yet another wonderful, OS Meet, by the Nepal Chapter in Kathmandu.
