Mary was not aware that Ms Brenda was visiting us, a prank to come from us the pranksters - She was informed that a soothsayer would come hometo predict Mary's future- She was reluctant , angry throwing all sorts of oriya - Esp Gonjamia gaali's to my wife and me.Cos' she did not want to meet any soothsayer . Ms B did the act very well , by touching her on the head , asking her to sit beside her, and the show went on. But the mother of all surprises was Mary recollected Ms B's voice and caught onto it. Wow !! That's what Ms. Brenda's impact as a teacher is all about !!!!!!!!
Not to forget , Ms. B maintained her punctuality by reaching on time - SVC taught us time mgmt.A great re-union , Ms. Brenda, Borg ( Son) & Maria ( her niece) Mary and all of us had a great time .
Stan was out in Mangalore, he could not meet her.

In fact I asked her to wear the oval shaped black specs which she used to sport in school, to bring back that 'classic look' for the photo session.
But unfortunately it was not to happen !!
Reminds me of Gandhiji's renowned spectacles !
Louis,
Mary seems to be getting to look more and more like your mom and Kaki looks to have been on a choclate diet since Calcutta days !!
hey Louis,
Even if Ms. Brenda never taught me, I have simple heard good things about her, especially from Vimal and Bhabani. Looks like a great reunion.
How are ya? Say hi to Mary.
Naresh,
Point taken,next time will gift her one to get the classic look.
Kaustubh,
Yup you are right.
She is least bothered to take care of herself, half the time she only laughs, the other half she keeps telling me " I am a crazy guy "
So where's the worry boss !!! Phooooolte jaao .
Omkar ,
Hi I missed you , I too had been to Bam for 3 days landed and took off from BBSR.
Freaked out in Chilka, with a tent on the banks of the lake , there were few people who caught fresh prawns .cooked and served with Wine yummmmm. ( Bhadrakote, a friend works for SBI , he had organised)with ole friends
Mary says hi to you too, she still remembers you as a no- non sense guy.Agree with her.
Nice prank on Mary, Louis!
BTW, I like the name Borg----reminds me of the legendary Bjorn Borg.
Nice to see Miss Brenda's photo Louis and Naresh
Hi Louis,
So Mary caught on to the 'past' after all :-} Really lovely to see her. Yes, she does remind me so much of Auntie....!!
Great reunion - Mary undoubtedly is a replica of Baby Auntie!
