From friendship to enduring archive

Our Story

New Friends Reunion began with friendships formed in Sanghar during teenage, school and college years.

  1. The beginning

    Early Friendships

    The community grew from friends who studied, lived and spent time together in Sanghar. The circle was broader than cricket and included school, college, neighbourhood and shared-activity friendships.

  2. Shared heritage

    New Friends Cricket Club

    New Friends Cricket Club emerged from this friendship circle. It is an important part of the group's shared history, but not every friend was a player or club member.

    The club no longer operates. NFR preserves it as historical heritage rather than presenting it as a current sports organisation.

  3. Across the years

    Life Moved On

    As friends moved through education, work, family life and different cities, regular contact changed. Some remained connected; others gradually lost contact with the group.

  4. Everyday connection

    Staying Connected

    WhatsApp now supports immediate and informal communication among friends who are connected. It is useful for conversation, but it is not designed to be a permanent community archive.

  5. Today

    New Friends Reunion

    NFR is the present-day platform for reconnecting old friends, helping locate friends with whom contact has been lost, preserving photographs and memories, supporting reunions and maintaining an enduring record of the community.
