I met my long lost Hyderabadi
classmate Siddiqui the other day. Like after about 30 yrs or so. Has his own
business enterprises in Saudi Arabia and Dubai. And is one of the richest men
in the Gulf. Really. Imagine.
But that’s not it. He
turned out to be a great storyteller. And knows the inside outs of all our
other classmates. Staying in Riyadh good man seems to have been in touch with
all.
Anyways, the stories
he told me put me in deep thought. It’s lucky he ordered some delicious Rogan
Gosh and Mangaluru fish. And that gave me time to chew on his stories. God.
Facts are much more complicated than fiction.
Then he gifted me two
boxes of dates. I have such a liking for dates. It’s almost genetic. Maybe my
ancestors were originally from the gulf. Who knows. I sure would like to be
born there next janam. In a royal family with oil wells and all that.
So best wishes Sid and
god bless ………
