I had taken a Volvo bus to Poona and checked into a nice hotel. I dressed up in a bold (by my standards) black sari, made myself up and was all excite.... I entered the party and my eyes were all around looking for Sunil. I had never really kept in touch with my batchmates and felt like a stranger for a few minutes. But soon saw familiar faces and started ‘catching up’. Suddenly, someone tapped me on my shoulder and said “Hi”. I turned around to see an almost bald, paunchy guy leering at me. He.
