Happy Birthday, Kiran Prakash |

With Kiran Prakash though, we might get lucky tomorrow!
Oddly enough, when our friends landed in Mumbai, they were greeted by a mild drizzle at the airport. The city has been under cloud cover for the past two days and thunder-showers are predicted during the week-end.

We have been noticing a continuous tremor of her right hand, which she has been dismissing as “an age-related issue no doctor can cure”.
As one who habitually keeps himself updated with the latest in the pharma industry, Maitra informed Karuna about a new drug in the market which might take care of her condition to a major extent. But he warned her not to take the medication without first obtaining a prescription from the doctor treating her. What appeared as a casual tete-a-tete today could well make the critical difference in Karuna’s quality of life – all thanks to Siba Prasad Maitra.
Dilip Babani:
Happy Birthday, Kiran-ji!
Bihari Milwani:
I hope that in the event Kiran Prakash comes for the exercises tomorrow Arun Patil doesn’t shout at him for remaining absent on his birthday!
Siba Prasad Maitra:
* Happy Birthday, Kiran-ji. We are eagerly waiting to hear about your exciting experience on the recent North East trip.
* My heartiest congratulations to Mrs Bose for organising such an excellent and difficult trip successfully.
Lt Col Angad Singh (retd):
