Back in touch with Nilabja

MG called up last evening while I was still in the
office. Said he had gone into the free pool and was
going home for 3-4 days this weekend. Also said
that he had given my number to Nilabja. Ah well!
back in touch with another good school time friend.

I remember 'Nil' most for his high pitched voice
but MG, him n me formed a great threesome & had
some great times together. Especially those races
from SRP's chemistry tuitions in Adityapur to the
Bistupur gol-chakkar with me on my 60 cc Puch & him
astride his 150 cc Bajaj Super. Those were the
days! Also, he had lost to Khushnam in a drag that
they had after school. He had himself revealed that
piece of info to me........rather sheepishly. Now
he's doing pretty well with his freelance software
development work.

While going back home at about 8:30 p.m., Sittu & me were
faced with Hobson's choice. There were no autos so
we either walked back (getting soaked in the
process) or stayed put (& missed out on dinner). We
chose the former. SRK's show in Bangalore also got
cancelled due to the rain. So we weren't the only sufferers. The signs for the coming week were ominous.
