Dear Maxie, I enjoyed your Magnum Opus - wish I thought of something like this when I pulled out! Not fair to put the blame(?) on Kaushal & Rajgopal & Shinghal, etall. - after all it's what you made of the opportunities you were given that made you the articulate, competent & very polished super-cop we are all going to miss. Take care & all the best, Sunit

Dear Max, Thank you for sharing a very well written piece of "memories". What is next? It is difficult for us to picture you basking in the Sun for ever without a special reason to do so?

Subject: hello from Mathew, an old friend
"….while going thro ur 'bidding adieu' to ur life in police,for friends like me who have been fairly closely associated with u since our interview in madras in 1969 march, a lot of memories are thrown up. ur commitment to work,helpful nature ,integrity,pride in work,friendliness always attracted people. I always considered you more than a friend something like a brother even if u may not like my saying so.i can recall ur damad days in phillaur though not fully as were with u for a few weeks only.signs were visible and you had spoken the rest.
Though i spent a parallel life in a different organisation meeting u always in delhi and even in sikkim and mizoram(not in pondicherry)was always apleasure which was easy as i also used to be posted outside ,that too mostly in the south including in ur favourite bangalore fo 2 years.
U had some bad luck in life esp about not getting in IPS directly and also on the marriage front.If u had joined directly in IPS,u would have retired as DGP of a CPO.but life is a mixture of various items some of us are not lucky. take it that way that in His actions there is a larger justice may not be easily visible to us now
These are some of my thoughts when i recover from my coronary bye pass. what r ur plans after retirement.i presume u will be in gurgaon.pl give ur email and tel nos though i am verey unlikely to visit delhi in the normal course. calicut,cochin,trivandrum,bangalore,madras,mumbai and hyderabad may be the places i may have to frequent
As i am not well i dont want to add more. mary and i are always obliged to you for all the help and kindness shown by you since 1969. i hope to meeet you in bangalore some time .may be we can plan a trip to bangapore together when u have to do one. our elder daughter is there. I hope to be in regular touch with you thro email. We wish a very happy and enjoyable time in the days to come . our prayers will be with you. Bye. Mathew"
