Prateek leaves ....

Prateek attends office in EC/Bangalore for the last time today. He leaves for Ranchi tomorrow & goes on to join work at Kolkata subsequently. He'd been doggedly pursuing his transfer & his efforts have finally paid off. I'll miss the conversations that we used to have at the Cafeteria & on the steps of the Amphitheatre on topics like Mithunda's exploits, R.D. Burman, Bollywood kitsch, Bangalore sux, the Indian biking scene, gizmos & other areas of common interest (of which there were many) .... adda sessions generally, which used to be highly engaging & thoroughly enjoyable. Will miss those times buddy .... but hopefully not for too long. All the best for your journey to the land of the rosogulla.

Meanwhile, Anu has had an unfortunate accident .... the auto he was travelling in overturned while trying to avoid running over a dog. 4 bones in his foot had to bear the brunt, which required surgery & the insertion of plates. Dude will be out of action for 5-6 weeks. Get well soon, Runjhun.

And last but not the least, Anu's big bro, Ashish, has hopped over from the Redwood based corporation to apni swadeshi company & will probably be working in the same tower as mine. Cool!
