Just an hour after I wrote my previous post, my brother phoned me to let me know that Manohar, one of his old friends during school days, phoned him and conveyed his wishes to me. Manohar's elder brother Thyagu was of my age. While Manohar worked in State Bank of India in senior positions, Thyagu did his B Tech in Metallurgy (like Google's Sundar Pitchai) in IIT, Chennai, worked as Senior Executive in the then Minerals and Metals Trading Corporation of Govt of India, went to Tanzania and continued in the Tanzania Government Service. It is nice to hear from old friends after a long time, and to renew friendship (friendship that is sincere unlike the one described in my previous post). I thank God for my sincere friends such as Sreejith, Jose, Selwynn and a few others.
