St. Joseph's Convent High School - Photos

St Joseph Convent School, Mosaboni
 
My two daughters studied in this school, which made there foundations for future studies. My elder daughter Gitanjali studied from 1979 to 1989 and second daughter Monica studies from 1984 to 1989. Me and my family left Mosaboni in Dec' 1989, after availing Voluntary Retirement, as in my hearts new that this mine future, in terms of our career and children higher studies are quite bleak. I got the opportunity, with couple of jobs in hand, but finally we decided in favor of moving to Zambia. 

My both daughter's when they saw first photo were too happy, and thereafter, I kept on requesting all past and present children to help me with more photos, via emails or face book. Over a period of time, I have collected, few of them which I am placing it on-line for all the colleagues / their children to rejoice, which made your life, what you are today. As much I have enjoyed, these photos, so will most of them will say "WOW", and on the same note, I thank all who have brought memories of Mosaboni, and today, I have placed few of these photos on blog for people who are settled around the globe:

Memories - Mosaboni Days - Photos from MSB

I had been not keeping well, but nevertheless, in my heart, had the desire of placing some more photos, for everyone to rejoice. My many thanks goes to children who contributed, and helped me to my request for my blogs are, Amrit Pal Singh, Rekha Dev, Bera Shibu, Chayya (Mishra) Jha, Ruchita Prasad & pain staking efforts taken by Deepak Manna who tried to take photos on my behalf against the list I sent him, he described me in his words, that some of the photos he is unable to take due to real deterioration of the camp and his eyes get filled with water. These are the words, as expressed by our children who grew up here, and how much Mosaboni meant to them.

I still need few more photos of Mines Club, Recreation Club, Hindu Temples, Sikh Gurdwara, Church etc, to make our memorable journey live to all who still have a lot of love, passion to know about this place, so dear to my heart and equally believe its same for you all. I have called many of our friends over the past few months, with whom we got connected, when we first saw group for Mosaboni started by Neetika Mittal on face book.

There photos are attached below, who may remember them.

Incidentally he had been our close friend and my boss also.
