She's Uma Dei my own sister's sis-in-law. My sister lives in a joint family she is really close to all of us. Even she came all the way to our house-warming ceremony at Rourkela in May 2004.

She's Chhaya another sis-in-law who lives near my home. We were so close during those days that I used to spend a lot of time with her and used to have my lunch or dinner quite often when I used to be in her house.

Ranga is very special to us. She is my sisi-in-law but was more thatn a mother even when my own mother lived.

Bada Bhai- This man has the single most influence on me and my life. He lives in a different world with his scriptures and writings but here he is in the court yard of the temple where he lives.

Lipu, the youngest member in Quick Studio League. His father Bipin Bhai was a regular also and was one of the most prominent one too. The league missed him after Bipin Bhai left for his heavenly abode but Lipu has been a great replacement.

Nata also joined the Quick Studio League quite late only when he got a posting at Jagatsinghpur as an ophthalmologist, But his faith in his own work and his timely advice to Panchu Bhai, the main anchor of the Laegue at Quick Studio helped the later come out of a corneal ulcer. His soft behaviour also endeared him to everyone in the league as also the general public in Jagatsingpur. I had the good fortune of spending nearly 6 years with him during graduation and now when I visit home, its a pleasure to see nata sitting in the same seat where I used to sit during my youth.
