Re: Sewagram to Nagpur with Dr T S Uberoi to gajendra ....

[Guest guest]

dear gajendra,

you have reminded me of a few things

1. musafir hain hum bhi,

musafir ho tum bhi,

kissi mod par phir mulaqaat hogi.

(basheer badr)

2. Time teaches us many things, especially to slow down

Santosh would recollect, we could cover nagpur to wardha in 55 mins. flat,

when we were doing our internship , on my bullet motorcycle,

and now ,

it took us 2 hours 35 mins to reach from wardha to nagpur by car.

bhai tumhare saath to waqt bhi thahar gaya hoga.

3.You owe me a ride,

so do meet me in delhi in the month of september,

and i will permit you to take me for a spin

on your brand new gaadi along with your bees saal puraani ......
