A personal note of thanks
Three days before my trip to Gujarat, I met with
an accident on the Bangalore Airport road which left me deeply shaken and
stirred (in more ways than one). My vehicle and the road divider fortunately
took most of the impact, with yours truly landing up with a badly sore shoulder
and knee. Nursing real and imaginary bruises the morning after, I got a
surprise call.
Here was Dr Gary Chen (Batch of ’78) calling me
from Bharuch, Gujarat. What followed has left me deeply grateful . He called me
up to tell me that I need not worry about conveyance or other logistics when in
Gujarat. True to word, from the time I reached Vadodara to the time I left,
Gary and Sr Annette (also Batch of ’78, more about her in a subsequent post)
made sure that everything was taken care of. Gary himself dropped me to the
Ankleshwar station when I left Gujarat. Little does he realize just how much I
needed this at that point.

Coincidentally, now in Dimapur(Nagaland), where I
am stuck due to an ULFA ( Assam) bandh,another Johnite from the same batch, Dr
Bijoy Sethi is taking care of me.

Here is providence acting in the form of
affectionate Johnites.
A
meaningful and Happy Easter to all of you.
Wish you a wonderful Easter too, in places and with people you have not been before.
