Dear friends,
It is a pleasant surprise.
Let me first Thank Achut Ramaiah garu for the post.
This Birthday Posts we're a regular feature earlier and we were many who used to respond enthusiastically.
I remember one Golden Girl putting the Lead post in 2011 for my Birthday on 14 th June and there were nearly 50 Well- Wishers,
There was good camaraderie among contributors of that period from 2008 onwards but of late,I don't see it happening.
I am so glad that 10 out of the 11 posts above are from my friends whom I have met and some .many times.
Cruise,Bangalore is one gentleman who has been posting here right through and we had many exchanges but try as I might,I couldn't make him to meet me!
This one of my regrets of Racing life which isn't going to be long!
I have not met Godzilla who along with Cruise and others here was very active.
Other friends of that era are SIA,Mrs.Lagad,Sagar Saab,Chanakya,Glasgow Prince,a chap from Bombay who was very witty( He came to my hotel room in Dadar and met me in some Invitation Weekend when we had a GT with Tom Krish in another friends home whose name I forget).
I am thankful to you all for your Kind Wishes.
I had organised 6 GTs for Race goers on Derby/Invitation Weekends at Bangalore,Hyderabad and Bombay with Well known Jockeys/Trainers addressing us.
Still remember Aslam Kaders visit with nostalgia at Bangalore.
Thanks again friends for remembering me.
Best of Luck at an activity where successs rate is hardly 30percent.
