Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Dated 1st December '50 at 9.30 P.M.

 

Dear Harendra,

I am very sorry for I could not answer your letter for a long time. I have passed my terminal examination fully. Securing about 240/450. Naresh has also passed the examination but I do not know his total. I read in your letter that your examination was cancelled. But why?

Did you hear the running commentary on the first day of the second unofficial test match? How ridiculous was the score card at lunch. Moreover I understand that you are not interested in cricket.

How many pictures did you see in Rajkot? Plenty I suppose. Don't ask about me. It must have gone near thirty to forty during the last 3 months. I may go to "Haute Asse" or "Dastan" next week. Did you hear about the ice review in Bombay? It is enterprising, worth seeing twice.

Last Sunday i.e 26th November the college had a

 

trip to Lonavalla. Out of 350 members 200 came to the trip. There wasn't any enjoyment as our personal trip to Borivali had. How is your progress in study? My remembrance to VIRENDRA.

When are you going to come BOMBAY? Positively in March or April!

My friends were surprised to see me stand fifth in our class. I was thought to be the mischievous boy in the class. You called me a hero but there isn't anybody in the class who would like to be...

Well for more longer letter next time.

 

Yours sincerely,

Jagdish J. Shah

N.B. Please do not write me at my College address. Do write me at my Jagjiwan

Niwas address.

Jagdish J. Shah

Would you like me to summarize the contents of this letter for you?
