A great time at Hyderabad meeting an old friend from College days, Ashima Singh who had joined the Railways and has now retired from The All India Railways as its Director at IRITM at Lucknow. We used to roam around Allahabad in cycles then more than five decades back and spent the time catching up, as if it was yesterday that we had parted. Also, the cherry on the cake was, the wonderful evening and thanks Subham Pande for inviting us for a lovely evening of music and food at Oakwood Residency. Oakwood is now having a great variety of programs for its anniversary and this is the third one that I attended and they have had stand up comedies, gazal and others interesting events lined up each year. This year, besides the regular music band, they had two artists who were doing cartoon sketches. This was the best part of the evening besides of course the music, drinks and the food was, when we sat down to get our cartoon sketches made. Reminded me of the cartoons of R. K.Lakshman when he had the cartoon of famous politicians especially Indira Gandhi with her characteristic long nose. Pity, the artist could not find any characteristic features for me. Oh,but what fun.
