OS Meetup Toronto – 20th May 2018 

By Anjum Siddiqui(OS 87) 

It was a wonderful turn out at the OS meetup on 20th May 2018 for all OS living in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area. Even though it was a long weekend, but almost everyone who was not out of town, was there! 

It was from 2:00 – 5:00 pm at The Firkin Pub – a casual upmarket English pub by the lake Ontario, with a superb view of the Downtown Toronto Skyline! And being midway from downtown and the suburbs, it was easily reached at by all. And everyone did reach! And bang on time! We were easily 50 of us who turned up. 

The Party was shifted to the ground floor so that Sunil Whabi (NBD ’89) on his wheelchair could join us. Kudos to you for making it Whabi! We were all from different batches, with more than decades between us, but we all know what happens when two OS get together – we bring the roof down! 

There were some new OS who were not aware of our large OS fraternity in Toronto GTA Community, and were coming to this OS meet-up for the first time! It was really nice to get to know them. A special mention to Sanil Juneja (VBD ’00), who drove more than 3 hours one way, to come all the way from Windsor, ON. 

There were a few youngsters, 2016 batch! And compared to us fogeys, they could just as well be CS – Current Sanawarians! I was tempted to order them around and ask them to “get my drink, junie”!
