This is Me
Then & Now
|
|
|
Date of Birth:
|
6th April 1951
|
|
This is how they described me in the college Yearbook:
|
"Harry" as he is known to all of us, is an ace photographer. Photography,
his mistress, won him many prizes in the competitions. Possessing a keen sense
of values, nothing can shake him from his chosen path. Being very calm, cool
and polite it is fun watching him boil with anger when teased. A very gentle
and kind hearted chap, he is ever willing to help anyone out of boiling water.
A good composer of 'shairis", he will remain evergreen in our memory for his
marvellous "Shairis". "Harry" has a ravenous appetite for books and it is through
them, he insists, he has already sailed the great seas.
