While writing a blog ‘Heartbeats of SPCE’, in English and ‘एस पी सी ई ची स्पंदने’ in Marathi, I visited Wikipedia site to know what information they have put on the site. The information about SPACE, under the head, Sardar Patel College of Engineering is available on Wikipedia. A little bit correction is needed in this information on Wikipedia.
Actually, we named our cultural event as SPACE in the year 1982. It was our creativity to put ‘A’ in the middle of short form of our college name SPCE making it ‘SPACE’. And as the event happened in 1982 it was named as ‘SPACE 82’. So the correction 1982 in place of 1983 is required on Wikipedia.
I tried to do this correction on Wikipedia but I couldn’t, hence requesting you to go on Wikipedia and edit this information.

Expressing gratitude towards our alma mater brings me immense joy that words cannot fully capture! SPCE is the place that nurtured our growth and provided us with abundant, unforgettable memories.
My Dear Ones,
I will write about those beautiful moments we shared together- moments of joy and laughter, moments of pride and achievements, and moments when we faced challenges head-on.
I will write about the stunning campus, classrooms, auditorium, playground, canteen, temple, and garden.
I will write about Bhavan's College of Arts, Commerce and Science, the boys' and girls' hostels, the students' elections, and encounters with gangsters.
I will write about Marathi Vangamay Mandal, University youth festival, and the poetry, drama, debate, and elocution competitions.
Dear Hostel Buddies,
I will write about the hostel and mess, and the time spent with celebrities coming there.
I will write about the hotels, restaurants, and Juhu Beach; the places where we created valuable moments in our lives.
I will write about the Ganapati festival and the Holi celebrations in the hostel, and the uniqueness of our celebrations.
I will express my gratitude for our dedicated rectors and wardens, the lovely staff, our caring watchmen, and the hostel clerks.
Dear Friends,
I will write about our devoted teachers, including Prof. S. N. Nagraju, Prof. R.M. Joshi, and Prof. Bahavani Prasad, among others.
I will also mention our class fellows such as Hemanat Naik Navare, Goldie Goradia, Kanhaiya Shah, Pramod Morankar, and their achievements. Additionally, I will highlight Ranjit Naiknavre and Dr. S.P.

Dear Sweethearts,
I have a plan to refresh your memories by writing about the walk, we started from hotel Delhi Darbar at Grant Road, after midnight, after our gathering success celebration party was over on that day of March 1982; a long walk full of dancing, joking and making fun on nearly empty streets which ended at 6:30 morning at hotel Swadesh at Andheri!
I also have a plan to recount the breath-holding incident that occurred in the hostel at midnight on April 30, 1980, which is still remembered by all hostelites. Thank God it was April Fool's Day!
Warm regards to all!
Dr. Mahendra Ingale, Former Principal
