Debasis Mazumdar (Joy), St Patrick's School Asansol (Pats76) batchmate was in Kolkata for a vacation with wife Dr Sulagna and daughter Erika (Joel). 
Before his scheduled departure for his workplace in Cardiff, UK where he is the CEO of a reputed shipping lines, we spent a lovely evening at Barista, Park Street (opposite, Flury's) over coffee and cookies on Monday 2026-02-02. 
We got to meet after 15+ years. 
Also present were our common friend from Asansol days, viz. Sandip Banerjee (Babu), ex- Air India + Apcar Garden Asansol and his wife Pamela. 
Joy, Sulagna, Joel ....  have a safe flight  back to Cardiff. Eagerly looking forward to meeting you in mid December 2026. 
Meanwhile, dear Sandip Banerjee and Pamela, now that we have connected after almost 4 decades, we will surely meet quite often in Kolkata.
