To all classmates from: Maxwell Pereira on 2 August 2012
Dear all (...and especially Arun)
Just a little update from London....
(...you are all aware already that I am holidaying with my grandchildren in England for the past month; When I am in England, our classmate in Cardiff here makes it a point to call me eery day and we have a chat. It is wonderful. I believe most of us are aware that Arun's wife Chand had a laprascopic surgical intervention some time ago - and though the operation was a success, her internal healing is not complete. Enough reason to cause worry to her doctors, on whose advise for care and caution, Chand has been housebound with exposure toall sorts of physical or mentalaciviy and interaction totally on hold for the present. Against this background.....)
Arun and I spent the day together yesterday.
Considering dear Chand's post-operative delicate health condition still, he had decided it was better for him to make the trip alone, so we could meet.
He took off by train from Cardiff (...where he lives and runs his clinic) at 6:30am to arrive at London's Victoria Terminus around 10:30 and take the Metro connection to reach Putney (...where I live with my son). I collected him at 11am from Putney East Station.
We walked around then and eventually settled ourselves in a pub - The White Horse on Putney main street - for a chat and catching up, over a glass of shandy each. We ended up also having our lunch there too - Fisherman's pie and grilled sea-bass with veggies and fries, pretty good!
We remembered each of you in our conversation (..and those gone before us too) spects as remembered from our school days, pranks, games, activities and girlfriends (...if not really girlriends, at least wished for members of the opp sex, eyed with a doorbeen and targetted etc etc) and reminisced on our last reunion meet (...including the 'not enough' holiday on the island resort off Kundapur - and the talkative Muthu's food!) etc etc etc...
Finally we walked down to my son Tony's house couple of blocks away on Enmore Road for a short while and had tea, before I walked him back to the tube station for his return journey. He was taking the coach back to Cardiff from Victoria, he had indicated.
Enlosed here are a couple of pictures of yesterday from my camera!
It was very kind and gracious of you Arun, to have taken a day off inconveniencing yourself from your daily routine, leaving Chand alone, rescheduling your patients, etc... just to see me, and make the trip all the way to Putney, London! Thank you so much.
(BTW...... India's performance till now at the Olympics has been pathetic. I had hoped we would better our tally of three (including one gold) won at the last 2008-Beijing Olympics. But so far we have only one bronze in the bag. Sad.)
With best wishes and warm regards to all...
