2001 -july  ;  The Builder  completed the building in  C.R park ,Delhi and I and my wife flew back from U.S.A  for the hand -over of our flat. We saw the building while coming to C.R park from  I. G Air-Port and both liked the buiding. The hand over was complete and we shifted back to our old place . For seven  days, I went to Calcutta  to meet my friends ,relatives and regarding pubication of my next book. I went to the college of that friend to meet her. I was well received by college staff and when she came out we  went down to a park to talk about poetry , all the things we could remember and loved in ife.  There was an insect crawling on my shirt . she tried to pick it  up and I reminded her of our declared promise. She almost laughed  oud and over -ruled. 
I was already one more year older . She too  pleaded for accepting the pre-destined fate and  turmoil that affected  our  friendship, and to help the healing for both of our families. Her son was now  for Medical studies. We did not know how to  draw the curtain ! I was against it as I felt there was nothing wrong in our friendship  but she wanted  to end our meering  in future for the sake of peace for both famiies.
Next day  I went to  Kamar Pukur ,the birth place of Sri Ramakrishna   and  also visited Jairam bati the birth place of Sarada ma and came back  and left for Delhi the very day . She proposed for coming to Station but I advised her not to . And she advised me , again to  draw the end line some where now to save and help both families. I  rebelled and told  - if I  know  I am not doing anything mean why should I submit to any situation  or, - what should I care for others' concusions?  I was even, ready to meet  her husband and children to stand the test. She advised me instead to win over first my wife as she was the helpless sufferer without knowing that we were  pure friends  and with no ill design or motive .  I came back to Delhi. 
The storm calmed down but clouds were hanging thick on the land of UN-certainty !
