Hmmmm...its been a long gap again...i have traveled all the way to banglore. come here to meet my parents for diwali. a weird thing happened on the flight. i met this old man. chatted with him a little. just when i was starting to adjust myself in my seat he asked me about my education and stuff and what im pursuing in Pune. Coincidently he was a Mechanical Engineer too and an Mtech in Heat Transfer from IIT, Mumbai...actually i should be saying IIT, Bombay coz he was there when it was called that. he passed out from there in 1967 or something. he asked me about his subjects, told me about his...surprisingly he remembered his!! we didn't really speak too much...just during take off and a little before landing...coz throughout the flight i was sleeping...or at least trying to...and he was comfortably napping....with his newspaper open in front of him...he asked me about my parents and somehow there was a connect that i had with him...we got on to the wagon that dropped us to the airport...very courteously he let me get off before him...he even suggested to this lady on the bus( who was actually asking the driver and not him about where she could get an outstation bus from) about the bus stop. she wasn't quite interested in knowing from him though!! i thought i would ask him his name...or may be his email id....something that would let me be in touch with him...i wish i had....but i just couldn't....circumstances i guess....i took my baggage and left from there. i will attempt to look him up online, but don't know how successful i will be:(
that man came across as a very nice person. i like old men...they are so very genuine. i know of another such person, who happens to be my cousins' grandfather. a great man!! i will write more about him...may be later....
