Although my endurance is not at its peak, I had other develpments that added cheer to my life. There was the call from Gokhale to inform me that he was down in Mumbai and that he planned to meet up with us this weekend. I look forward to it cause its been a while since he and I clinked glasses. He does call me regularly and periodically, from Dubai. Then there was Bamoo calling to check on me and Bryan and enticing me with promises of Pork roast and beef vindaloo at his place. He also asked me to plan a trip to the Press Club which, according to him, was now a swanky place. Well, I'll have to ensure that I don't have to go to work the next day, if I do accept his invitation.
There were the flurry of mails from Russell in Washington, Seattle and from Malcomn who is on board a cargo vessel. Both guys sending me PPPs that I guess are what keep Malcomn occupied and busy since he is a lonely man on these 4 month long voyages:-) I enjoyed the humor about Goan escapades and our predilection for the "high" life whenever we meet up. Malcomn has promised to wear out the rubber belt on the treadmill on board his ship, in preparation for SCMM. Lastly, there is Vernon our "land-lord" (because of the number of properties he owns) though Russell likes to refer to him as "Slum-lord", who is going to finally marry Hyacinth (our Xaviers circle of friends). May God bless them and give them a happy married life.
