The service guys took a couple of days to get the car cleaned, and
at a hefty cost. I offered to share a part of the payment at least, but Gautam wouldn’t
hear of it, thankfully. With Dobie’s treatment and two sons in college, it
wasn’t easy though I was not hard up.
Gautam dropped in once in a while to see Dobie, and normally
stayed back for breakfast – if he came before leaving for work - or had dinner
if he came after work. We mostly discussed books – I had a big shelf with books
- and travel. But I also gathered that he was divorced, he was in his early
forties, he liked to travel but couldn’t because his mother was unwell.
