Guest guest Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 Dear Kishor, Heartiest congratulations ! Yash has done wonders (not an entirely new trait!)

Yours VK 1976 P.S. Thanks for Potter ,its already in my lap top.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 Dear Kishore, My heartfelt wishes are late but better than never!! Behind this successful youngster there is the hard work and sacrifice of two parents- wish you and Swati all the happiness. So is Yash going to miss out on hostel life? (a must for every teenager).
