Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

FW: Only My Friend - English Poem

 Dear Jayesh,

 

Ø Thanks for sending final format of English poems . I will try to go through today

 

Ø As far as Gujarati poems are concerned, find attachment ( duly corrected grammatically but needing formatting with borders )

 

 

Ø I had an opportunity to look up the artwork of the front covers which you sent to Vishesh, two days ago. Vishesh is in Ahemedabad today and planning to have an across the table meeting with you, sometimes next week , to finalize this issue . He will phone you for your convenience

 

Ø Vishesh told me of your suggestion to have a short write-up about myself ( along with a photo ), on the back cover.

 

I would feel embarrassed !

 

You will recall that in my earlier email, I had suggested one of my poems to be printed on the back cover

 

I reproduce that email ( dt 17 Dec ),  below :
