I saw the program and knew that Anita Nair was coming. But then I realised that Nimmi was coming as well as part of the Adishakti program and even better, George alias Appupen was coming too. Now George and I hit it off quite well so I told him I would catch him at the end of Day one. He was quite happy to meet.

| Happy Together - George, Anita and Me |

| We did something like this in Bangalore Lit Fest some ten years ago |
We met rather late on Day one after his dinner and we drove around - Mehdipatnam, Tank Bund, chai at Sarvi and dropped him off at 1230. Next morning I said I would meet and went home. As always, large hearted, George gifted me one of his silent graphic novels. Not many writers are generous - he certainly is an exception.

Next morning I hoped to meet Nimmi, Anita and George and found Nimmi incommunicado. Anita was very happy to see us and we took selfies which we seem to do when we three meet. We then headed off to the HLF where Anita had a session. George met some pals. I met Jayesh, Vinod (in the loo), Shankar Melkote, Bijju, Shrini and a few others.
Post her session we went to AMB Mall where George had to meet a friend - popped a beer and some food - and then dropped Anita off.
Great catching up with both G and A. We promised to meet soon which is something we always end up doing. The promising, not the catching up.
