Hi! I'm a new 'ex'-Ruiite, was feeling nostaligic and looking for blogs mentioning Ruia :)

I'd read the Ruia profile a long time ago on the JAM site, they really need to update it...Besides the Triangle, the parking is the new hotspot, as Vishnu Chaiwalla has setup his very busy business there :)

Prof. Jaykar passed away some time ago
They also forgot to mention VPM in the list of the most 'happening' communities - majority politics happens there and as an ex member of the VPM, must say, it was highly interesting to observe the intrigues!

Cheers,
Supriya
