Prabhjot Singh Bhatia (1471)


This is Me

Then & Now

Date of Birth: 
llth July, 1951
This is how they described me in the College Yearbook: 
 An interesting fellow, he is a hard nut to crack.  
Can be very stubborn and sticks resolutely to his word.  
Fond of clothes, he is often dressed in colorful shirts 
and trousers matching turban.  P. S. sees quite eager 
to see the end of his sea-career and the beginning of 
the realization of his dream.  Lured by the glamour of 
the film-world, he hopes to take to cinematography.  
Bhatia just loves photography, and spends long hours in 
the dark room. May we hope his first movie will be 
titled -"The Marine Engineer".
