We went out together as a “gang” quite often, watched movies…and as was customary those days, they were ready to help in an emergency that could be anything from a packet of washing soap to finding my whereabouts when I was late returning home. They adored my Mom who was a great cook and very, very hospitable. So these guys and I got friendly, probably because we all spoke Tamil in a Telugu-speaking city. You can tell I peeked into memory lane, can’t you? A and B had jobs while C was a student. B was a good cook, sang well and was easygoing. A was rather reserved, had a steady girlfriend and a motorbike and was very possessive about both. There were three guys who lived in one of the 2BHKs in the building opposite ours, with a floating population, because naturally visiting friends stayed over. I put them in quotes because, obviously, they were the talk of the colony. ![]() There was this family with four kids (and growing) that was a delight to hang out with this elderly couple with an empty nest who was sweet to everyone a noisy family with grown up kids who provided entertainment…and of course, “The Bachelors”. ![]() Decades ago, we lived in an eclectic neighborhood.
