I was really surprised that you have gone neck-deep in Kashmiri Pandit affairs in United States. And it was a pleasing surprise again when Aditya told me that Kashmiri Pandits in US had chosen you as their President. I congratulate you for assuming such an august office. I understand that you have put all your effort in it. I know very well how you were working from 6 in the morning to late night without fail.

I was always confident that you will do great in your life with your pleasing personality, except politics and especially KP politics which was not your cup of tea. I was out of touch with you, maybe it was nature's will but that doesn't mean our relationship which developed from 1963 onwards and most of the childhood and youth we have spent together doing good, bad and naughty things. I'll be with you for all the good initiatives you'll take for our distressed community.
