Hi again

to echo piyu's plaintive cry in the previous post to this blog, why isn't anyone else writing? everyone's busy and everyone has other things to do but still, would be nice to hear from you all once in a while. things are all fine in kolkata, and the four of us are hoping to drive down to dhanbad on 15th for the long weekend. meanwhile, sekar and archie celebrated their birthdays in july, and kartick became a year older two days ago.
