Since my earliest childhood, I have loved to make new friends in new places. Fortunately I got a chance to do so as we moved to different towns as part of my fathers work. I have friends all over Orissa and now even in Mysore, Bangalore and Mumbai. I have maintained a record of my closest friends right since my school days and I am listing their names here. I have lost touch with some of them and I am hoping that they come across this page and get in touch with me.
