About Us

This website is exclusively for the ICSE 1980 batch which witnessed something peculiar - some students completing Class X in one year and some taking a year and a half to do the same class.
The batch of ICSE 1980 was certainly special as they witnessed the beginning of Crossroads under Mr Vivian Rusell, Faizul Hoda's drawing of the facade of the school building being used on the covers of the bimonthly Campus Digest Magazine which later came to be known as Pax et Bonum, the presence of athletes like Amit Agarwal, Rizwan Khan Ghauri, Pervez Ahmad, would be theatre personalities like Sushen Bhatnagar, Ajoy Chakraborty and Narendra Tripathi, sportsmen like Ashok Shukla, Santosh Gupta and Amarjeet Yadav, bureaucrats like Govind Mohan,Academecians like Sacchidanand Singh, Arvind Sahay,Ajit Chaturvedi,Sanjay Medhavi,doctors like Dilipraj Lobo, Shalin Kumar, Sangram Singh Pundir, Salil Singh and entrepreneurs like RS Kishor, Jasminder Singh Anand, Dharmendra Sikka, Mahesh Ahuja,

Brij Gopal, Subbu Vishwanathan,Sandeep Misra, Somesh Tripathi, UK Vaish and others, who are decorated officers in the Indian Army. People coming from diverse backgrounds were connected permanently after being schooled together for more than a decade.
We wish to share with each other whatever is sharable in our lives, through this website, designed by Sanjay Govil, and remain posted about the developments in our family spaces.
Someday, perhaps, one of us will sit back and punch out a memoir which will document the period in which we were being shaped by an institution that brought us all together. For this, we will forever remain indebted to our Alma Mater.
We continue to miss some of our friends who left us early, like Masood Hasan Alvi and Ashish Srivastava.
