Attention: Alumni of Cotton College, Guwahati

Dear Alumni

A few Antiquated Assam type buildings scattered from Panbazar to Uzanbazar,

surrounded by some haunting trees from *Kamarupa* era filled with white

bird-drops and cacophony of home-returned bird flocks in the evenings in

Guwahati, flanked by the *Kachari ghat* on the banks of the mighty

Brahmaputra river and the Red-bricked railways colony in the South, imposing

and intimidating at times and warm and beckoning at others, Cotton College

was once the only world, outside our protected homes, that we knew of.

It was here that we developed our passion for exploring life, under the

supervisions of our teachers, wardens, seniors. It was here that we learnt

our tools and honed our receipting faculties to prepare for  acquiring

skills from the world outside, the foundation of our future life was laid

here. All of us have gone on to build and rebuild and reconstruct on these

early building blocks ingrained into our beings. However far we might have

gone on our journey, a part of us still connects to that great institution

through an unseen thread and this is where we take a peek to cherish the

fond memories of the other days!

Relationship was article of faith in this bench-mark institution. Keeping

this in mind we propose to organize a GET-TOGETHER of Ex-Cottonians on the

20th February, 2011 to take our relationships to the next level by

connecting with family members, alumnus across few generations and decades.

The venue being *Central Civil Secretariat Sports Ground (Opp Nehru Park) at

Vinay Marg, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi 110021. *

**The programme will start at 11 AM and end at 4 PM.

You are requested to attend the event with your family members.

With every good wish

Organising committee
