Oops!!

A few posts earlier, I had written about helping a retired doc from the Andamans pen his memoirs. Was wrong on a couple of counts: for one, he isn't a doc (but his son, daughter and son-in-law are; close enough, right?); secondly, he was based in the Lakshadweep. Yeah, that's an island, too... so maybe I wasn't that far off the mark. ;)
He's 76 and quite a hale-n-hearty person: he has already written, and I mean hand-written, 165 pages!! Some feat, I think... Though I am a journo, which can be interpreted loosely as a writer, I think it would be more appropriate to call me a 'key-iner' considering my preferred mode of 'writing'.
