AKN-1 Arva Kollaro Number One (Avid reader number one)

We both have the friendship for at least a donkey years. His name is Prasad. His is actually good and hard working. But he is the day dreamer. He used to tell that he want be like a Leonardo Da Vinci a versatile personality. I know this fellow buy, borrow and lend books from friends and read a lot. When ever a meeting happens in the Chennai city, if it is not entry by Invitation this fellow will be in the first row. Even I used to witness it on my own eyes. One fine Saturday evening, I was totally free from regular work. So, I gazed through the Hindu newspaper about the today’s engagement column. There I found a meeting by Nanna Balki Vala foundation and the guest speaker is Mr.BalaSubramaninan Former IFS officer. My job profile is only with the Man and Machine interaction. I am working as software professional. So, I thought, I can enjoy the lecture. That is a wonderful lecture. It is all about the India’s foreign policy for the neighboring countries. The lecture was come to the end. The organizers announced that every one can collect the lecture series book let as a token of appreciation. I went out side and aligned my self with long queue. It is like a round about with different arms. I am standing in one arm. My time has come to receive the book let at that time another fellow stretched his hand and received the copy. I turned slowly that is none other than my beloved friend AKN-1 Prasad (Avid reader). We both shook hands and started chatting about the lecture points. This was happened at my early college days. Due to my frequent trips to the foreign countries, we both did not have contact at all. Now, I am chewing the memories about that. I am turned 58 and retired as a senior manager from that same company. I am really wanted to see my friend. I am sure that he may be in very high position in the life.
