It has been so long that Englishman has posted, I forget why he was named "Periodic". A most Dickensian name I think, echoing some character or other of Mrs. Gaskell's novels. I am trying to remember, and I think the last post was from the time when Mirat was yet a princely state, and had a Nawab as its head.
I last saw him at a party at Lily Chatterjee's, and he was holding forth on the state of Cricket on the sub-continent. That was the ill-starred party when Hari Kumar met Daphne Manners.
Perhaps it is best not to re-acquaint ourselves with the past... when we were young at Chillinborough together: he, Hari, Guy Perron, and myself.
