Dear Mr.
Parekh,
I waited
until now for an email reply from GR; when it did not arrive, I called Dr.Usha
Krishna at the telephone number you had given and made contact. (Thank you very
much!)
Usha
assured me she would have GR respond latest by Monday to my letter.
She also
stated her preference to meet all of us on Tuesday, December 15th.
When I
mentioned your preference is to meet for lunch, she stated, as it is a working
day for her, she could consider meeting for a late lunch
(around 1 PM)
preferably close to her place to facilitate her returning to work quickly.
In light of
the above, is it possible to meet for early dinner somewhere between your place
and Ramakrishna's?
Vani and I
will be staying at Chembur.
Please
review and let me know. If there are issues, we will certainly meet for lunch.
Regards,
Ratnam

Dear Mr.
Parekh,
This is a quick
reply to acknowledge receipt.
I will
write to you in detail shortly.
Thanks for
giving me the contact information for GR/ Usha.
I will
write to them today and invite to meet with us including you and Bharati during
our December, 2015 Mumbai visit.
Vani and I
just read about your multi-faceted activities and found them truly inspiring
and motivating.
Normal
people seem to age and slow down in their mental and physical activities.
You seem to
get more creative with vigor and enthusiasm!
If you could
kindly give me a good telephone number for you, we will be very glad to call
you.
Once again,
thank you for the quick reply.
Regards,
Ratnam

Dear Ratnam ,
It felt very good to hear about you / your family , after a long
time
At the outset , here are coordinates of Dr Usha :
Mobile : +91 , 98201 , 34278 / 99202 , 95084
E mail : drushark@gmail.com
I am glad to know that Vani and you will be in Mumbai in Dec .
We eagerly await to meet you
As far as lunch ( we prefer ) is concerned , we will suit your
convenience . Venue too , to suit you
We are glad that Usha / Ram can join us
Bharati / myself are generally keeping well . So are Vishesh /
Niyati and Nirmit / Pooja
Our younger grand- daughter , Aneree returned from UK last month
, after getting a post-graduate qualification in Psychology ( Child Development
) . Now , she has got a couple of job offers in Mumbai . Yet to decide
As far as my professional activities are concerned , I have
stopped going to office for last 3 years
I spend morning hours writing blogs ( www.hemenparekh.in >
Blogs ) and then posting on several relevant web sites as " Comments
"
You will get a better picture if , in Google , you
type............ hemen parekh.........
But my current passion is my latest web site .........www.B2BmessageBlaster.com
( B2B )
I have conceptualized , designed , prepared logic and U/I
An outside party , writes code / develops / maintains
I spend my time promoting it and designing new features
But the most heartening news is that , MakeinIndia web site , (
launched by Shri Narendra Modi on 25 Sept 2014 ) , when it gets re-launched on
this Friday ( 25 Sept 2015 ) , will
carry on its home page ,( under tab , " Useful
Links " ) , following hyperlinks to B2B :
It took me one year ( at least 100 emails ! ) , to persuade Shri Amitabh Kant ( Secretary , Department of
Industrial Policy and Promotion - DIPP -
Ministry of Commerce ) , to agree to provide these links
To best of my knowledge , this will be the first time in the
history of Govt Web sites , that one of these will carry hyperlinks to the web
site of a PRIVATE person !
Right now , Shri Amitabh Kant is in USA , preparing for various
meetings of Shri Narendra Modi , with Industrialists / Businesses / Start Ups
of USA
Kant will himself conduct one of the panel discussions ( with
Start Ups ) , on 27th Sept at Hotel Freemont in San Jose
I had a personal , one-on-one meeting with Kant , in Mumbai , on
5th Sept
I will keep you informed about developments
with regards ,

Dear
Mr.Parekh and Bharati,
First
of all, please accept my apologies for the long delay in mailing this letter.
Last time I
corresponded with you was when your grand daughter just got married. Now we are
so happy to read that you and Bharati are Great Grandparents; Congratulations!
Vani
and I do talk about you both often, I resolve to write to or call you but, soon
afterwards, some other priorities distract me from carrying this out.
I hope
you, Bharati and rest of your family are doing fine. We sincerely hope both of
you are enjoying robust health.
As far
as our lives here, just a snapshot of the latest developments, just in the last
year:
On the
professional front, I finally retired last September after 15 terrific years at
Intel Corporation and 52 years of continuous working since the day I joined PSW
at Powai in 1962.
Intel was exploring
whether I could work at least part time.
I would have liked
this as well, but, having just completed 75 years, I felt it is very important
to devote what is left of the active life at home and take Vani on travel to
interesting parts of the world. Vani also endorsed the idea. So, here I
am, happily retired, and still learning how to enjoy life without work!
On the
personal side:
Last
year, Vani and I lost our mothers in December, 2014 and August, 2014
respectively.
These were the two very
influential people in our lives and we continue to cherish their memories.
We
traveled to Chennai to get the necessary rituals performed.
We went on a very
enjoyable month+ long tour of Australia and New Zealand. In addition, we
also went on a cruise-cum-land trip to Alaska recently.
A few
years ago, I had a pacemaker installed due to Atrial fibrillation related
issues. In addition, I am currently under medication to control the A-Fib.
Vani
has spinal stenosis, which means a pinched nerve between her spinal discs. She
experiences pain whenever she stands up too long.
So,
here we are- two normally active individuals- somewhat constrained by these age
related infirmities.
We
continue to be active in our daily gym and cardiovascular activities, despite
these setbacks.
I am sure I informed
you of our son's Krishna's wedding in 2011. Krishna and his wife, Becky, a
native of Minneapolis, MN are practicing medicine (Krishna is a Nephrologist and
Becky is a hospitalist in Internal Medicine) at San Diego, CA. They live
happily at a beach town called La Jolla, CA, about 500 miles south of our home
at Los Altos, CA. They have a 2 1/2 year old son, Connor Krishna and a 2 month
old daughter by name Hannah Avani.
Please
give us an update of your life and important happenings.
Moving
forward:
We
plan to visit India in December, 2015 to attend my mother-in-laws First
Anniversary rites at Bangalore in early December, 15 and also participate in
(Vani's) Brother-in-law's 80th Birthday celebrations (Called Sathabhishekam) in
early January, 2016 at Chennai.
During the time In
between, we are making arrangements to visit Varanasi, Gaya and environs in the
North, Puri, Konark and Bhubaneswar in the East, Dwarka, Somnath, Porbandar in
the West, Hyderabad, Ajanta, Ellora in the middle, before arriving at Coorg and
Mysore to rest for a few days prior to proceeding to Chennai.
During
these travels, we plan to spend the following days at Mumbai:
December
14, 2015- Monday (PREFERABLE TO US)
December
15, 2015- Tuesday (PREFERABLE TO US)
and
December
19, 2015- Saturday
December
20, 2015- Sunday
During
our stay at Mumbai, Vani and I would like to take you and Bharati for dinner at
a place convenient for you.
We will
be inviting GR and Usha to the same dinner. Hope it is fine with you.
It
will be great to get together after such a long time.
Please
review your own schedules and let me know which one of the above dates is
convenient for you.
If
dinner time is inconvenient, we can meet for lunch.
We
eagerly look forward to hearing from you.
Our
fondest regards to Bharati.
Regards,
PCSR

Dear Mr.
Parekh,
I have the

ID is current.

Please also
give me your contact telephone number.
Much to

Fully trust
yourself, Bharathi and sons with their families are doing well.
