I was sure it wasn't about me! ;-p<BR/>But you framed it in very well... A light twist here and frivolous jab there and you put together a really interesting piece. Do make your granpa read this... :-)Erotemehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15666400906273237639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407417.post-1135440080143251922005-12-24T21:31:20.143+05:302005-12-24T21:31:20.143+05:30Excellent narration Echo! It is better to talk to someone when they are awfully bored, than to get bored by talking to someone! So ... that is good in a way! :-)<BR/><BR/>Good one pal!VJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14395657934844629022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407417.post-1135330028490144522005-12-23T14:57:08.490+05:302005-12-23T14:57:08.490+05:30Nice "HE" narration..After reading<BR/>the first few lines,I immediately<BR/>thought I was not the one..<BR/>Word "HE" is a part of "SHE" :-)Phoenixhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09736859181730857028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407417.post-1135328515363307782005-12-23T14:31:55.363+05:302005-12-23T14:31:55.363+05:30@Calm & Serene: Thank you for your comment! I suppose what I felt about grandpa did come through. I was wanting to do this post for quite sometime; finally, managed it.<BR/><BR/>@Manohar: Thanks Manu! I am sure you understand this post far better than the others :)<BR/><BR/>@Karthik: Yeah, you are not the only one! Funnily a lot of my friends read the first few paragraphs thinking I was talking about them until they came to the eighty years part!Echo/Lavanyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08814806570260310180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407417.post-1135310347367131292005-12-23T09:29:07.366+05:302005-12-23T09:29:07.366+05:30I thought I was the only one who called you when you are really busy.

I am one of those "lurkers" you mentioned in your earlier blogs!<BR/><BR/>But, this one proved special because it neatly surmised the closeness you and your grandpa share, and it did not let me pass without a comment - very well written!Calm &amp; Serenehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08330083314236571266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407417.post-1135227775284537612005-12-22T10:32:55.286+05:302005-12-22T10:32:55.286+05:30@JM: You can think what you want to think! In this case, I have been pretty accurate with my description about my interaction with g'pa. In other cases, I do take some liberty with the narrative :)Echo/Lavanyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08814806570260310180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407417.post-1135218395711992782005-12-22T07:56:35.713+05:302005-12-22T07:56:35.713+05:30I am glad you take the liberty of being rude...<BR/><BR/>Now I wonder is it really about the grandpa or really spiced up write up on someone else.
