GET TOGETHER 

A  Novel way of Get Together was organised on the 42nd Anniversary Get Together of the Naval Technical Batch 1978 was organised on 31 July 1978. A zoom get together was organised where 28 families participated actively. All of them were very happy to connect and really enjoyed each other's company.

A brief background of the Naval Technical Batch 1978 is given below. 

It comprises of 35 Marine Engineers. The Batch Photograph with their names  can be seen below.


 The course also comprises of 16 Electrical Officers and 6 Constructor Officers. The Batch Photograph with their names can be seen in the Photograph below.



The Course further comprised of  officers who joined as Direct promotions from the Ranks in the Upper Yard man scheme. Course Photo is below.



The Course is unique in that two Musician officers were also part of this course. They both reached the Top rank in their branch in the Navy.

The Course is very well knit and so are their families closely knit over a period of time. The course has a get together every year, in different cities and countries.

The Course has produced a Chief of Materiel the highest technical rank a technical officer can achieve in the Indian Navy. Vice Admiral Ashok V Subhedar.

The Course has also produced an officer of the rank of Rear Admiral. Rear Admiral Samir Saran Lal.

The Course is unique in that it has a very talented Officer who joined as a CW officer. He is the Jewel of the course and he and his wife are very dearly loved by all the coursemates and their families.

Most of the Course has been promoted to the rank of Commodore and few only left early from the Indian Navy for better pastures and have done really well in the Corporate World and brought a name for the Indian Navy and the batch.

The Zoom get together a first of its kind was organised by K A Ramnath and his wife Nirmala Ramnath. It was a great hit and promises have been made to have it on a monthly basis, till life comes back to normal.

The group also has a very active Whatsapp group whose Logo is shown below. Message gives the vision of the Group. Friends Forever. I am writing this on the Friendship day to celebrate the occasion.

An innovative Tambola was also played during the Zoom get together. This was organised by K A Ramnath and Nirmala Ramnath and all the participants really enjoyed it.

I happened to be travelling during the Zoom meeting and could participate only for a short duration. A memory of the same is here.



This batch has been having Annual Get Together from the time they joined the Indian Navy. It has been a great time together as Gentleman joined Navy, got married, had children and now the children are in various top positions all of them doing great. It has been an eventful journey amongst friends and I am sure this will continue forever.

    Well documented. Infact most of us are closer now than we were whilst we were serving. Not often do you come across a course which consists of all branches of the Navy. It must be the only one of its kind.

Dr. Barnard notes that diabetes has been rare in places like China and Japan. The author's research suggests that   Type I Diabetes   could be reduced by avoiding early childhood exposure to cow's milk. In addition, fatty foods and refined sugar are dietary taboos. Excess fat is bad because it interferes with how muscles function.

The reasons for not having a high vibration could be:      Fatigue      Fear      Nervous tension.      Rage      Hate And so......we have to vibrate high so that the frequency does not lower our immune system. The frequency of the earth today is 27.4hz. but there are places that vibrate very low like:      Hospitals      Assistance Centers.      Jails      Underground etc. It is where the vibration drops to 20hz, or less.
