STANLEY PLACE MARADANA ( Just about opposite to Ananda College was Feizal's home)..So Feizal said " Look Jisty, it's my mom's b'day...and we are going to have about a 80 of my relations and friends ...and they plan to put on some records ( 78 rpm) for music and I thought why don't You, Fritz, Ranjit, Nilam ( jainudeen) get together ..and I'll sing..you know I know more than 100 songs..or even 200..

That b'day evening, Feizal had gone and hired Parakrama radio amps speaker and mics..yeah the very same microphone politicians used to blast out their speeches..no quality, not even qwalid' tea ! but we were happy, and at 7pm inside the house the 'band' was ready happy b'day to aunty song

....Jisty acoustic guitar, Fritz : Tea chest string and broomstick bass, Nilam crucianelli accordion ( the only 'decent' instrument in the band, and Ranjit on bass drum high hat and snare drum...yeah that was it  THAT was the whole drum kit ensemble...and you could have put this set-up on any coffee table sized space...Feizal had more girl cousins than any 'normal' family can have...Great ! how many of them are we going to 'cap'...

There was one dressed in Salwar Khameez...tall and pretty...and she 'fingers' waved to ME from behind the others..Hmm, I thought , not only is she pretty, but clever...and delightfully sneaky. Yeah, this girl I have to say hello to..and to make sure the other buggers dont barge in and spoil my 'capping' time with her. Her name was.....She said " Your name is Jisty, right ?"..I said " Yeah" how do you know ?
