					<description><![CDATA[Sir,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You may resolve to keep away from doing anything that involves extensive human touch post- retirement, but knowing you, I do not think this is a do-able resolution. For a warm hearted person like you, this is a big no-no. I did tell you once that there are two faces to Mr. Patwardhan. One that is cold and that you deliberately put on. The other is a warm hearted and a gentle one. This face is seen by a person who interacts closely with you. I have seen this side and consider it my good luck that I can call you my friend despite the gap both in terms of age and position ( I do hope you will not mind me calling you a good friend)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I wish you and your family and your friends a vey Happy, Prosperous and a safe new year.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Warm Regards]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So many interesting folks, and so many events. I still feel the Star of the Year has to  be Annika ! lets hope she gets her blogging genes from the grandfather. (I can see myself. with thicker glasses at age 85, shaking fingers and all, trying to read through her blog....:-)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;A very happy new year to your entire family...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hello again Vivek, I did write a comment last night but somehow it got lost in the system.  Just to say that baby Annika is gorgeous and has &#039;wise&#039; eyes that look as though she has been here before.  She is a beautiful and perfect wee girl and she will probably twist her grandparents around her little finger without any trouble at all...  I hope you have an enjoyable Christmas and a Happy New Year when it arrives.&lt;br/&gt;Cheers to you and yours, Kate .]]></description>
