Dear Friends,

 

Every word of this forward, makes me aware that I am , now , passing through winter of my life

 

Like me , perhaps some of you too felt ( at least , when we worked in L&T ), that nothing could stop us from achieving , what we set our minds upon ! Advancing age , was never felt as a constraint !

 

After each step , there always was, yet another higher step to climb – without any doubt in our abilities

 

Even after I retired ( 14 months too early ) in April 1990, I refused to “ give up “ by starting 3p Consultants , in a 6 feet by 8 feet cabin , where , every time I had a visitor, son Nirmit had to vacate the only visitor chair and stand outside the cabin ( in a Business Centre )

 

But colleagues like SRS helped big way through a 2 year “ Advisorship “

 

But why am I writing all of this today ?

 

Past 7 weeks, I have experienced a very painful attack of HERPES ZOSTER virus , which has left me very weak and lying in bed , for 18 out of 24 hours – with no other thought than , “ Will I  get to see tomorrow’s Sun ? “

 

I am repeatedly assured ( by not less than a dozen doctors ), that the worst is over and, if I manage enough food intake and continue with exercises to build my leg muscle, then within 4 weeks, I should almost recover from this nightmare

 

But the best support ( other than from my wife Bharati , my elder son Vishesh / his wife Niyati  / my Psycho-Therapist grand daughter Aneree , my younger son Nirmit and his wife Pooja ), came from some of you

 

And that included SRS who phoned twice and I could return his call , this morning

 

When I informed AMN about my condition, he promised to drop by my home to look me up

 

There is no escape from a life’s winter but it is the warmth of friendship which will make the difference !

 

With regards,
