We used to stay at Thota street. Vincentian sisters are at B'lore too. Could meet Sr. Josephine .....probably taught me in Junior stds.....She leads a retired life....oldage home sort of life.
I have vague memories of atleast names. Shiela.....coz of my first b'day party (of my life ) I had attended at her house.....uninvited.......and a memorable one !. Stan...Henry...Julian......coz of a cricket match held......and happened to visit this ground near to their house ....as a cheer member for our school...and had cold refreshing water on that summer afternoon....Alpana......the fair studious girl ........an happened to speak a differerent langauge.....to me alien....probably mahastratian if I am not mistaken....and ofcourse dear Vimal.....who has stood the times....happened to keep in touch.........and all credit to him.
As I feel a little uneasy or embarassed to spell out these....as well as other memories.....as not sure if they were hallucinations.....or vague pictures ....difficult to associate or relate.........nevertheless remain cherished.
Would meet Stan soon........as I am away in Chennai now.
