Welcome back to the valley.
A space for Rishi Valley alumni to reconnect, share stories, and find each other.
Everything the valley taught you, kept somewhere it can grow.
Share a sighting, write a Letter, leaf through the Valley Collection. The birds keep you company while you read, and the leaves part as you move through them.
Drag your cursor through the leaves. They part around you and settle again, and a quick scroll leans the whole field like a gust. Click a leaf to flick it loose.
What is inside
Everything the valley scattered, gathered in one quiet place.
Alumni and teachers, past and present. Built and kept by one of us, for all of us.
The Directory
Find the people, not just the posts.
The whole point is the people. Search by batch, house, city, or what someone does now, and actually find the friend you lost touch with in 2009.

The Feed
The valley, in one quiet sheet.
One ruled sheet, not an endless scroll. A sighting, a memory, a note for the valley. It stays useful even when it is busy, because it was never built to be loud.
Letters
Room for the longer things.
When a post is too small for what you want to say, write a Letter. An essay, a tribute, a travelogue, opening into a quiet reading page of its own.
Catch-ups
A letter that comes round again.
A round-robin that comes back every season. You answer a few prompts, everyone's answers arrive together, and the years stay close even when the miles do not.
The Valley Collection
The valley remembers.
Decades of the valley in one place. The banyan, Rishi Konda, choir on the steps, the hoopoes that never left. Add the ones only you still have.
Invite only
A small place, kept small on purpose.
Members vouch for members, and the alumni office confirms. No open sign-ups, no strangers, no growth targets. You will know the place by who is in it.
Not another feed to keep up with. Not Facebook. Just the valley, and the people in it.

A bird until you upload a face. You will know the verified mark when you see it.
