I
had been thinking for sometime then....why not a unique Website
for the Class of 81 MCC ?
I coordinated the Class of '69 IIT Madras Alumni bash sometime
back at Chennai and that's what triggered the thought-process.
That was when I was inspired to do something similar for ourselves.
Apart from the fun and fanfare, the IIT do saw several Biz deals
struck and transacted right there. These friends realised that
they could not only bring quality into each other's lives by connecting
back, but that they could also enrich each other's careers and
businesses.
My
Company, Quicksilver VoHo creates Themed T-shirts for IITM and in the process
I meet up with lotsa Alumni. Seems they have a whopping 1 lakh
members. Gosh, I thought ! MCC ought to have at least half that
kinda numbers.
What
started with a simple post on various Alumni sites, seems to be
gaining a terrific momentum, all its own, and here we are, heading
for a late 70s early 80s (78-83) kinda setup. Something like MCC-around-the-turn-of-80.
Expanded much beyond the scope of the Class of 81 concept. 
This
beta site went online of September 15th 2003. I've been in touch
with various ppl about this and am getting some great inputs and
nostalgia. I think with all our Legendary MCC creative talents
pooled in, we can create a mind-boggling site. Waddyusay?
This
site will not be just about nostalgia and trips down the memory
lanes. It will also offer space for friends to productively interact
with each other in terms of service, creativity and support exchanges.
Do
use the setup to brainstorm and give us your Suggestions, Inputs and share your
Creativity in general.
You
could refer www.deepwoods80.org as the URL of this site to other XMCC in your contact
book and avoid a long description of what is happening. Life's
that easy here.
Cheers.
