Dear Chiku & Bodhi,

First of all, I wish u very happy Dewali(amader kalipujo). Bodhi can get a taste of this celebration, sorry to chiku. This will be only in ur memories now. I found bodhi is in good shape as far as his physic is concerned when in met bodhi in Bangalore . U really look cool on ur machine(ROYAL ENFIELD). And, Maithani is as lafoot as he was before. That lafootgiri suits with maithani only.
To tell u chiku, maithani and bodhi are having great collection of Jackets. Bodhi, I really liked ur place and hospitality. That was a real refreshing evening and time that we spent together in Bangalore. I really liked ur mail chiku. I am not angry with u after knowing that u r really in a very tight schedule. But I think u should continue with your natural instincts as far as girls are concerned. Ur area of research went just bouncers to me. Anyways, all the best. Last week I went to Nagpur(Probably for the last time). Though I stayed in a hotel, I went to gokulpeth to refresh my memory. I went to our home, Aradhana Apartment and all the pictures from the past went through my mind by frame by frame. Really friends, THOSE WERE THE DAYS.

All the masti, study, cricket, vodka, sutta and many more sessions were just amazing. I remember bodhi used to study whole night with his ‘powernaps’ and my halat used to be very tight after 12’o clock. Chiku was as an early riser and started his study soon in morning after watching the ‘WINDOW GIRL’ in front of our building. We had great breakfast with rice, potato and butter. Bodhi’s famous order to chiku about bringing the sutta’GO CHIKU GO’. There are infinite things to write about that u guys know well to. I went to futana bhandar and the great Vodka sessions came to my mind and bought sutta from Sharma’s shop where we used to get sutta in lesser price. Sharma uncle’s STD booth, the saloon is still there. But the old khatara Fiat car wasn’t there. I went to nirmal net café where chiku and me had spent so many rupees on chatting and cheating. That Bhaiya still remembers us and ask about u guys. I went to RamNagar where used have poha and sutta. But there is a bad news. Great top in Town is no more there. May be it has been shifted to some other place… cheers to biriyani and special mughlai. I had my dinner in Babu’s. gokul brindavan is still there but I think it is missing us because we used to pareshan the server for free samber and chatni.

The people like us are no more in Nagpur, I think it’s a loss to Nagpur. I had very less time in hand. I would have love to go Navadyam, Pyramid Gangour, coffee house, upper crust , top n town(ice cream), CCD and many more places where we left our foot prints. That will happen when again we meet at Nagpur in life. This mail is a little tribute to the time we spent in Nagpur. Hope u guys like it.All the best.

Keep in touch

Bhadda!!!!!!!
