The venue is Shivalik View, Yangtze, the Chinese Restaurant on the 6th Floor. We meet again -- old cronies dug up from 1974. This time there are fifteen of us who share a lunch together, overlooking the green stretches of the Shantikunj and the Cricket Stadium.

Standing, L to R: Jagmohan Nat, Ranjit Sohal, Mr Bhullar (Babie's husband), Sanjiv, MP Singh, Pinka, Sandy (the gentle giant), Sudhir (Pataudi), Diwakar, Moni Jakhar (Kitty's husband).

Sitting, L to R: me, Meera, Babie, Gurminder, Kitty.

Mandy the boy and Kobita were to join us but they could not get away from other commitments. Brownie had an urgent meeting at the last minute. He says he will be in this weekend and treat all of us. (you listening, Brownie?)

Good food, good company, good conversation, good friends.

What more does one want on a lethargic Sunday?

Au voir, mes amis, until we meet again!

Missed you guys who could not join us!
