Announcement

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to lead you to this new sun on the poetic horizon, this new talent that has been festering in sad (but necessary to creativity) oblivion till now but will soon be as popular as, say, a certain Capped Crusader whose immortal songs are on all our lips.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you Abiban and his epic song of love, desire and the pain of parting.

First, in flagrant defiance of accepted conventions, you are urged to read the footnote.

And here, then, is the inspired Creation.

All hail Abi!

Ron: Genius na, ekebare indigenius!

Anyesha: Yes, you're bang-on about GRE word list. I think Abiban cracked CAT later in life largely thanks to his frequent dips into the dictionary and thesaurus during the writing of this epic.

SS: Thanks for visiting. Even more thanks for reading my deathless prose (as a former boss called it) in the paper.

ABI is hilarious.

I used to take reki trips down the entire length of the train in search of GLCs.

I always assumed that the L@FS grade GLCs would be one of the many sleeping with their head to toe covered under a blanket.

So, I would strategise on the time for the reki trips. For example, at lunch and dinner time most passengers can be expected to be out of their blankets and so on.

I took the following proverb to my heart:

Jekhane dekhibe Chai,
Uraiya dekhibe tai

Paile Paite paro Omullo Ratan
