Professor Sarita (Alpana's BEST friend!!) came down to meet us at a very short notice. Her Hindi Miss was thrilled to bits. It was a real pleasure spending quality time with Sarita and her equally erudite and softspoken husband Mr. Debashis Panda.Sarita is indeed beautiful not only looks wise but even thought wise. She kept attracting compliments and when there was a lull, the ever chivalrous Debashis would ensure that the focus remained firmly on her.
There was one awkward moment when the ravages of time threatened to expose Sarita's age. I asked her for Nargis's number and there was just that little hint of a strain in her eyes as she began reading it out to me from her mobile. Debashis like the knight in the shining armoour jumped to the resuce of the damsel in distress and quickly snatched her mobile and began reading out the number himself. "The light here isn't good", was his excuse.
Now that was chooooo cute.

Mom is a great fighter. She has withstood the ravages of time as well as other health related issues with great courage. A great source of inspiration for us and a role model when it comes to absorbing pain in life.

Amongst the first thing I clarified with sarita was the best friend issue. She firmly said that you were her best friend and when the slam book entry was made she was undecided. Afterall friendships do take some time to blossom.
Regarding your comment on the age factor I accept defeat. If Aashu is 16 her elder sis must be around 19!!
Hi Alpana,we are not clinging on to fading youth rather its youth thatz infatuated iwth us... (Just kidding!!!)Almost on the threshold of being venerable snr. citizens it feels good when a praise or 2 comes ur way.--
How long do ihave 2 wait 2 see U??--"ham intezar karenge tera kayamat tak ,khuda kare ki kayamat ho aur tu aaye"----filmy??? but then our hyped gt-2gether is even more so---
Naresh came over but gave me the slip---BAD BOY !!! Its these bright spots that puntuate ourlife with joy---just wish they wer'nt so few and far between.
sarita say alpana tak
kayamat say kayamat tak!!

Hey Sar
No arraignments pls. In fact the trip fizzled out ! Madira ki kasam !
Arun,
Your mom looks absolutely great. Today I am really down memory lane. Please convey my regards to her.
Hi All,
While I can't disagree with this, tum log kabhi sochte ho mujh pe kya guzar rahi hogi? Alps where are you?
