I do get a lot of email from all corners of the globe. It has not reached the enormous proportions of early last year. I had to laugh to myself when I got this one:
"Dear Jacob,
I was surprised to see my name in your newsletter. I am
Neelam Lakhani, and I have no recollection of playing
football, cricket or table tennis with you, as I read on
your Cathedral Newsletter. Incidentally I'm not from
Cathedral.
In fact, I don't even recall the names Jangoo Moos,
Percy Mistry, Amin Choksi. Care to jog my memory?
Or is this another Neelam?
Regards,
Neelam Lakhani"
It prompted me to reply with some wit:
Dear Neelam,
If you go to my blog at
http://jmatthan.blogspot.com
and look at the picture for the blog entry in the archives
for December 13th 2004, the shorty in the top row
extreme right, standing, with glasses is NEELAM LAKHANI!!
Neelam was in my House of which I was House Captain.
I am the guy with the head circled in the seated row.
Does it look like you in your younger days, or has
dementia set in?
Regards
Jacob
Actually, sometime about 3 years ago, the correct Neelam did contact me by email, but I lost his email address. If anyone knows where he is, I would love to get back in contact with him!!
