St. Joseph's Alumni Association

We are based over on Cape Road in Nagercoil. It is a busy street that stays active from early morning until late at night. Most of us grew up around here or went to school in the area, so the neighborhood feels very familiar and comfortable. The office isn't anything special, just a room with some old wooden furniture and photos of former students hanging on the walls. We get together to talk about old times and see how everyone is doing with their lives. Some people travel quite a distance just to stop by for a few minutes and say hello. Nagercoil is a small town, so news travels fast around here and everyone seems to know everyone else. You can usually find someone sitting on the porch talking about the weather or the local news. We handle a lot of mail and try to keep track of where everyone moved to after they finished school. It gets quite humid because we are so close to the coast, and the ceiling fans are always running at full speed. There is a small tea shop just down the road where we usually end up in the evenings to chat. We don't have a big staff, just a few of us who have been around for a long time. It’s a quiet life for the most part, except for when we have a big gathering and then the whole street gets blocked up with cars and people talking. It's just a place for friends to stay connected.
