but he is a dear friend. | |
you know what kind of friend. | |
remember how we had quarrelled once. | |
you had tried to make amends with a. | |
definition of ideal friendship. | |
what you never make amends. | |
only i am the henpecked one. | |
to have found a gem like you. | |
can somebody after finding a diamond. | |
the diamond mines of kimberly. | |
in africa not be hen pecked. | |
anyway during that quarrel. | |
you had quoted plutarch line. | |
i do not need a friend who changes. | |
when i change who nods when i nod. | |
my shadow does that much better. | |
my friendship with balen fits that definition. | |
we indulged in endless disputes. | |
still we always agreed to disagree. | |
thats the basis of our friendship. | |
anyway after i spend a few hours with him. | |
i will take him to your place. | |
hope you have no other engagement. | |
you dont have any. | |
good i will hang up now you want. | |
the two of us to have dinner at your place. | |
i had already expected. | |
that i cannot help but confess. | |
darling and there he will get a second. | |
surprise in the course of time. | |
balen was safely insconced in prabals home. | |
prabal had enrolled in north western university. | |
to do his phd in engineering about four years ago. | |
he had rented a room in a big house like him. | |
judith garfield had also arrived from south africa. | |
to obtain the same degree at this university. | |
after that this couple hailing from two under. | |
a developed countries had grown so close. | |
that they now felt it was impossible to return to their. | |
respective countries in asia and africa to be so. | |
far away from one another. | |
so they had made a decision. | |
to complete their degrees. | |
get married and then move to guwahati. | |
india judith had at first expressed. | |
a desire to stay on in america. | |
but prabal had quoted an english poet. | |
i am an only son. | |
whats to be done judith. | |
i am the only son of our parents. | |
in our families. | |
even today elderly parents do not usually live alone. | |
but with their sons. | |
that is why. | |
i cannot leave my parents alone in their old age. | |
i have to go back. | |
i believe that. | |
my loving mother will welcome a girl. | |
like you with open arms. | |
deuta is a very liberal person. | |
and ma will be all the more happier. | |
when she realizes. | |
although have married an american girl. | |
she is no negro. | |
i havent brought along a black beauty. | |
and listen judith. | |
you will be happy living in our home. | |
because day and night. | |
there will be a huge elephant. | |
in front of your eyes. | |
an elephant our favourite animal. | |
that you are so crazy about. | |
after that prabal told her about the elephant. | |
balen and he also discuss the elephant. | |
although much later on. | |
because the two friends were meeting after. | |
such a long time. | |
they were busy exchanging news and gossip. | |
prabal first asked the reason for balens. | |
visit to america. | |
the assam association of america frequently invited. | |
artist and literari from assam. | |
this time the invitation was extended to journalists too. | |
balen had in the meanwhile. | |
become a renowned journalist of assam. | |
his fame had spread to america. | |
balen had remarked self deprecatingly. | |
over the seven seas and thirteen rivers. | |
the fame of this hopeless. | |
one has been carried by the wind. | |
you know that is. | |
why i have got this great opportunity to visit. | |
you absolutely free of cost. | |
first i stopped at chicago. | |
where they had made arrangements for me to stay. | |
with an assamese family. | |
tomorrow there will be a function. | |
i will give news from assam. | |
interrupting balen prabal had said. | |
there are some assamese families in chicago. |
