ALTAF
31st May 1981

Thinking about him always brings a smile to my face. I had this photograph of his I kept with me that ALWAYS made anyone burst out in laughter. Its a pity I lost that photograph. It was worth a million smiles. :) This guy's doing his engineering in Pune and he comes down here almost every weekend. Says he does it because its good for a change. That, and for the fact that his clothes last him about a couple of weeks at a stretch. That's all I'm saying. You'll get it if you have a sense of humour. :) Altaf is the only guy I know who can say the funniest of things with the straightest face ever, and sincerely mean it as well. Anyway this guy reminds me of Cyrus Broacha. The way he talks is like Cyrus at his best. I've always wondered what it'd be like if both of them met. I always imagine them meeting and smile to myself... and tell myself, maybe its better this way.

The world should be a safe place to live in, right? :)
