Priceless Treasure Lost+Found

I have now been able to put my first post a few weeks after creating this blog. I have finally been able to make the time for it.

I would like to start this blog with good tidings of having found a long-lost priceless treasure about a week back. I have been able to trace out my closest friend and classmate of Mountain Home High School, Coonoor, Gul P Samtani, after more than 27 years of separation and last 3 years of searching. In fact, although I have been hunting for him since Friendhip Day 2005, it was he who traced me. We were 10 years and some months old when we last met. We have now got in touch with one-another, thanks a lot to my sister Sunitha's classmate, Raquel Audrey Karim (nee Browne), and my sister Kavitha, and are looking forward to meeting each-other and catching up with the lost time, hopefully on the 1st of November this year, or if possible, before that. To some extent, the website www.Batchmates.com was also responsible for this re-union. I consider myself very lucky to have caught-up with a long-lost friend just before the formal Friendship Day (although I consider everyday as Friendship Day).

Thanks Raquel, Thanks Kavitha, Thanks Sunitha, Thanks Gul for tracing and promptly calling me, Thanks Batchmates.com and Thanks a lot to God for directing this re-union.

Now, I would like to search for and find N. Suresh, who was also my classmate and close friend in Mountain Home High School, Coonoor.

Where are you, Suresh?
