The last two years have been tough, a lot has happened, but then I shall not give any lame excuse for not being in touch with you. It is my mistake, I accept and I apologize. I shall tell you all that has transpired, when I visit you soon. <br /><br />I have learnt a lot from you,and there is still a lot that I look forward to learning from you. You have opened my mind to various things that I did not know about, you have time and again given me a boost when my spirits were low. Even when I say that the past two years have been tough, you were there to help me through your writings - I would often read your book "To my daughter" and it did help me regain strength. I also read your blogs from time to time, though the frequency was irregular & here again, apologies for not commenting for long. <br /><br />One thing I have realized, enduring this tough time, is that life rarely offers us a second chance. I hope & I shall earnestly strive not to repeat my mistake of not keeping in touch with you again.<br /><br />With regards,<br />Shameek..Shameek Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13716348438171054715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30819742.post-13914681186578324802016-03-09T19:56:56.758+05:302016-03-09T19:56:56.758+05:30Thank you for commenting after ages, Shameek.

Seeing that you have neither visited nor called nor messaged nor emailed for several years, I had assumed that you, like so many hundred others, had quite dropped out of my life!<br /><br />Good to see that you liked reading this little travelogue. And I shall look forward to being told 'in person' what your small wish is.<br /><br />SirSuvro Chatterjeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01027202980259279420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30819742.post-27152138961740700372016-03-09T13:27:00.445+05:302016-03-09T13:27:00.445+05:30Dear Sir,

I have been to none of the places, but after reading this post, someday, I shall certainly like to visit these. In this context, I have a small wish, which I would like to convey to you in person.<br /><br />Also I would to wish the same, and hope as Saikat did, that one day Firoz-da might evolve into someone like Sudhirda to you. <br /><br />May you be in good health,<br />With warm regards,<br />Shameek..Shameek Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13716348438171054715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30819742.post-13942116464958243312016-02-29T17:39:54.116+05:302016-02-29T17:39:54.116+05:30
Dear Sir,
The fact that you went on such a trip ...<br />Dear Sir,<br /><br />The fact that you went on such a trip was actually what made me feel good. It is always good to go on trips like this with only 1 or 2 people as company. I have done too many of these kinds of trips, but mine were all on a small 150 cc motorcycle - far less efficient than a car as well as far from comfortable. My journeys are always tiresome and backbreaking, and one will always want rest at the end of the day. However, I have never shied away from these kinds of trips. I have even ridden 300 kms to Coorg in the hot summer of April 2015 (in Bangalore March and April are really really hot, and the weather starts to become cooler in the middle of May) on that same 150 cc air-cooled engine.<br /><br />Just last week I went with Madhumita to a place called Bheemeshwari. The sun was blazing, and I was carrying a pillion rider in the hills. The roads were too bad and narrow, and the jerks gave me a pain in my bums. We had only 3 liters of water with us, and it was hot and dusty. After crossing 3 hills when we finally reached the place, we were disappointed to see very little water in the river Kaveri. There were lots of trees, and there were quite a few species of monkeys, who either playing or sleeping. At the root of a huge tree I found a male monkey caressing his pregnant female, getting her food, cleaning the louses of her body. Other monkeys were playing in the branches, dropping fruits from the trees, and some were fighting. We also saw many kinds of birds. We could have enjoyed it much more, had the weather been a bit more forgiving. It finally became so tough that we had to abandon our plan of going to Mekedatu, and returned from midway. Even with such a huge population of trees, the place could not give us relief from the heat.<br /><br />While we were returning, we had South Indian meals at a roadside dhaba. The curd-rice was such a relief. I noticed one very interesting thing – the moment we leave Bangalore, things become so cheap. Food is no more as costly as it is in Bangalore.<br /><br />The sad part is I forgot to take photographs because I was not in a mood to take photographs in the heat. I have plans of going there again in August, and then I think I can take plenty of photographs.<br /><br />When I will be there in Durgapur, I will try to plan a full day trip with you to some place. We will leave in the morning and return by night.<br /><br /><br />Regards,<br />Subhadip.<br />Subhadip Duttahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14537752464444407628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30819742.post-45415789940878788102016-02-22T18:44:37.260+05:302016-02-22T18:44:37.260+05:30Sir,

I'm a bit envious too because you went to Madhupur, a place where I spent a part of my childhood (vacations) when my grandparents lived there. Hope you are doing well. I'm really happy to know you had a satisfying trip.

Some day, I would like to cover the same route as you have described.<br /><br />I will keep my hopes high about reading more such sudden trips from your side. And perhaps even higher hopes that one day Firoz-da might become someone like Sudhirda to you.<br /><br />Take care Sir.<br /><br />With regards,<br />Saikat.Saikat Chakrabortyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868010301131014776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30819742.post-67777947443961376342016-02-20T23:54:16.421+05:302016-02-20T23:54:16.421+05:30Sir,I am Siddhatha pal.I saw the photos and I like...Sir,I am Siddhatha pal.I saw the photos and I liked it.I hope you are in a good healthSiddhartha Palhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04720883662713093809noreply@blogger.com
