Meet Nivedita Bhattacharya of 1987-88 SDA Vidhan Sabha batch. She was the chosen one for the post of HEAD GIRL when she was in class Xth. She is today a well known TV face. I happened to watch Nivedita on the stage of Prithvi theatres in Mumbai last year. Without any alma mater bias she was undoubtedly the best performer in that play. The play had veterans like Makarand Deshpande. Nivedita is a senior theatre artiste today. She has groomed herself beautifully. Her sense of discipline is enviable. Nivedita is married to actor KK of Sarkar and Black Friday fame .
From Lucknow's Bengali club girl to being Bhabhi in Kya kehna to now holding her own in TV soaps Nivedita has travelled far and wide. You can catch Nivedita these days in an important role in Balika Vadhu -
Rahul B Seth of 1989-90 SDA Vidhan Sabha batch was a singer always. Every batch has a few phoren return students. They mostly bring in with them another set of culture, music and exposure. Rahul was one of those in 89-90 batch. 88-90 were super active years in SDA. In 1988 SDA participated for the first time in an interschool event. It was called the CROSS ROADS. This was organised by the ST. Francis College. In 1989 SDA enjoyed the biggest inter house sports event till then.
When Rahul came from Africa he brought with him hip hop for our batch. He had above average language skills. He spoke and wrote beyond his years. Rahul was one of our solo performers at Crossroads in 89. He subsequently became one of the house captains. Its another story that my house did beat him black and blue:).
Extremely respected in the Mumbai ad world today Rahul writes, composes and sings. Ah!! Its not just ads now. Rahul has written and composed many a Bollywood songs. In recent times Yamla Pagla Deewana's music was directed by him. He sang playback for Sunny Deol. Only Tinku Jiya was Anu Malik's song in that movie. There was a goof up in the opening credits but the end credits mention him as the music director and lyricist. Unfortunately we could manage only the opening credits. Check out Rahul Seth's music here-

Nivedita use to beat me every day. I was in class 6th and my shirt was always dirty. Then she would be so nice in the evening when our Fathers met (they were best of friends). Worst was when I saw my Didi having a good time with her inspite of knowing that perhaps I got beating from the same girl that very morning ;-) Mental stress of a 10-12 year old I would say ;-)
