Happy trio

From right to left A(fterdark), D(oppelganger), A(rden) and I(ncognito) get it now?

Lunch at last

Devanathan aka Arden in a pensive mood

Shrikant aka Afterdark catching up with work? Even while relaxing.

New look Kishore aka Incognito. Couldn't put a name to his new look as soon as I saw him but as I was driving back I realised he looked like one of the Dickensian characters. Mr Micawber maybe?

Time to break off after a great gathering. The ADAI got mixed up here.

Cars used by Kishore

Photographs of cars used by Kishore in the days of yore, with some comments from him

The Landmaster: Circa 1956. If I remember right. It was owned by Mr A Narayan Pai, who was the Chief Justice of Karnataka, whose son Dr A R "Sudhir" Pai, had lent it to my father in law. I drove it back from Mangalore to Bangalore for handing it back to him. The wispy wraith you see in front of the car is a ghost of my present self. the others in the picture are my in-laws, my wife and her grandfather. This was shot on the Mangalore - Kudremukh stretch, circa 1989.




Premier Padmini Circa 1985. First picture shows the Cow doing a jig on the bonnet (1995) and the second shows the boys ready to go to school around 2000.
