"Sometimes I get to feelin’, I was back in the old days - long ago
When we were kids when we were young, things seemed so perfect - you know
The days were endless we were crazy we were young,
The sun was always shinin’ - we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately - I just don’t know,
The rest of my life’s been just a show."
--Freddie Mercury, These are the days of our lives.
The mobile comes to life, glows in blue and calls out to me. I answer.
'Hello, is Sridhar there?'
'I am sorry, who?' I ask.
'Sridhar?'
'The number you are trying to reach would be?'
'9884045989'
That isn't my number! At least in these times, you would expect people to press the right keys.
But it is nothing like the time I got a call from a mobile phone in Bangalore asking for an Aslam Bhai in Hyderabad.

Jekyll told me 'Hyde my friend, take my place'. So here I am! But if you think you know me from another time... all I can say is 'Welcome back!' Don't forget to mail me at [hydedward] at [gmail] dot [com.
