Sonal looks great!!
Been staying in the same house for over 45 years Rohan, Most of my playmates and other neighbours moved away. Now I have none of my old neighbours aound. Recently I met most of them at a funeral at a local Church. I was pretty comfortable in that Church, been taking pictures for my neighbours in the past, They all know that I have no faith. Every one was touching me. I had no good news to tell them. They had their problems I had my own. Only one of them an anglo Indian was well placed, the entire neighbourhood was after his sister, I was too young for that. She was much older, Shirly her name, my interest in western music was largely due to her, we used to exchange song books. They had a radiogramme, ask dad what a radiogramme is. Big thing those days, My source was only radio. They had a weekly dance programme on saturday nights, I used to climb up the window and watch.
I asked where his sister is, He pointed his finger towards the sky said she died of cancer. Beauty doesn't last it has to go,gorgeous she was, All were there Hindus muslims christians.
This is India.
