Spring in Toronto

Spring has sprung in mid-June Toronto but the heatwaves seem to be heralding a hot summer. We have just passed a very nasty winter and were looking to the sunshine, but now that it has come it's time to do the Canadian thing again.
Whine.

So the routine starts. People go off to the cottages weekends and the visitors from outside arrive. Some of them are fun, but it can be trying for us locals to continuously do the CN Tower and the Niagara Falls rounds. If that is the price we have to pay, we'll happily do it, especially for the welcome visitor.

One such is Rajaram Krishnaswamy. If anyone can combine fun and hard work it is Raju. An achiever, IIT engineer and classmate of mine from the Xaviers School Bombay Class of '65, I am meeting him after 40 odd years. There are 5 of us in Toronto and all are anxious to meet Raju and reminisce about the old days. Who knew those old days would come so soon? Thank you Salvis for making all these reunions possible.

So for one afternoon downtown we shall meet, talk, have fun and if wasn't so early in the day, we might get drunk. That wouldn't be a good thing as we have to reach home sober and ready for the next working day. But who can tell? We might do it anyway. Raju is definitely worth it.
