785

Our respected Rao Da ( Rama Rao Garimellaji for you) told me, this is a very auspicious and lucky no.
My Sulekha friend Subbu( Purefriendship) was very gracious and kind enough to visit my house. And Rao Da pointed out to me that I have become the 785^th victim of Subbu’s pure friendship and love.

Well, it happened this way. In one of my blog I requested my Sulekha friends to give their phone no, so that we can keep in touch. Yash Chhabra and Subbu were only the two who shared their Tel no with me.

I contacted both of them. I talked to Yash and his wife. They talked to me in so easy manner, as if I was known to them for ages.

In the same evening I talked to Subbu. He informed me that he may come to Bombay very soon. And I gave my invitations to him. He informed me last week that he is coming to Bombay.

To cut this short, I went to thane station to receive him and bring this unique personality to my flat.

From my house he gave a call to Rao Da and that great blogger who live by the sea informed me this no.  

Subbu is through gentleman. I liked his simplicity and his vast network of his friends.

I wonder, how he can remember all the names of his friends, the organization they are working, and their post designations. He regaled me when he gave details of the children of his Sulekha friends and non Sulekha friends.

How on the earth, he can recall all such details?

I talked to N K Ravi (Thanks again to Subbu), who is about 5km from my house. And I am anxious to meet him at the earliest.

Poetbittersweet became jealous( ) when Subbu narrated our meeting.

I always thought that poets are above this virtue!!!!!!

Soumayshree showered  accolades on Subbu. She also opined this no is lucky.

Neha of Sulekha Chennai office, opined that Subbu is a mobile networking genius.

We talked about our family.

Subbu also carries a big set of photographs related to his networking and family.

He showed me the snaps of Rao Da and his wife and so many other Sulekhaites in his PDA phone.

He snapped me and my wife and we become another proof his net work.

How, 90 minutes passed I don’t know, we talked about so many blogger and I complimented him for his news links. And I joked that he should hit the century of Sulekha friends (it was 99, to day at 09.30am). He laughed loudly.

Then our meeting came to an end, as he has some important jobs to do in Mumbai.

I will always cherish this meeting with this unique Sulekhites.

My Wife said the last word.

“ At this age of hectic, fast life, he has opened his heart  for all and still making friends all over the places and meeting them. He is dedicated to this unique networking. He even compelled you to break your shell and become his friend. He is Unique!”

Who can defy wife’s Fatwa. I can’t and I agree.

 I salute you Subbu you have done pure justice to your nickname “ Purefriendship”
