It was a perfect day with not a speck of cloud in the sky. Got to know aa couple of things about sailing boats from SK. Jay Jay also had some company – Bogga!!

We (Sanjukta, Mrinmoyee, Indraneel, Shantanu) missed Sharmila and Avi (who almost made it)!! It was a good day to laze around in the lake.

Got to see our old friend Ashley at the Twisted Oar after some time. I am yet to catch a moment when she is not smiling!!!

Got some drizzles and a lot of mist on the way out. Was clear and warmer on the way in though. The winds kept the water fairly choppy…

If you had told me – thirty seven years back – that in a future world this classmate of mine from Computer Science days in IIT Madras and I will be riding a boat some day, there would have been no way in God’s green earth that I would have believed you. And then, after a moment of thought, I might have asked you – “Will I be above ‘C’-level?” (ha ha). We were nothing in those engineering days if not full of PJs (poor jokes ~ groaners).

Friends from kindergarten days, these four are now headed in different directions to different colleges. Nikita is the one moving furthest away. Dorm move in time is coming up!!

With Rupak and Jasmine.
