REVIVE.

Reunion Of Vizag Veterans.

It was an idea developed by my close friend and long time colleague in Indian Oil, for over 35 years.

He is none other than Sri R V Rao. Senior Manager (Sales) Retd.

When he retired in 1995, from Southern Regional Office in Chennai, little did we imagine that he would come up with a concept of reuniting old friends in such a novel and delightful manner.

The idea struck a deep chord of yearning in all those who long for meeting old friends. Very soon the idea mooted by Sri R V Rao found universal acceptance amongst like minded friends and it was decided to give the idea a try.

The concept was that every year all those friends who started their careers in Vizag Divisional Office area, during the Sixties, or worked in the Vizag D O area,in the formative years of Indian Oil, would meet for two days in a pre-determined place and just spend time as they like it. The programme is to meet, relax, spend time As You Like It. For two days. Talk, play cards, crack jokes and enjoy the leisure in all its glory.

The first REVIVE Meet was held at Vijayawada.

It was a runaway Success. And every year after that we have been meeting at various places,Beach Resorts,Hill Stations,Pligrim Centres and what have you.



Every participant reaches the appointed place on his own T A / D A and also contributes equally for the 2 days of enjoyment. No obligation,whatsoever. Only full satisfaction. Then we all disperse to meet next year for yet another REVIVE Meet.

Every one eagerly and anxiously looks forward for the next REVIVE. Its so enjoyable. And every REVIVE Meet has not less than 15 members minimum participating enthusiastically. More and more people join,every year. That’s the Spirit of REVIVE.
