Second "reading" of Silas Marner

Last week I listened to book on CD Silas Marnar while driving to office. It was a good adaptation of George Elliot's literary masterpiece. I had read the book just after I had quit my first job and before my B-school started. It's a very poignant tale of an old blind weaver who is transformed by his love for an orphaned child, whom he takes in his care and brings her up. Good old Sesha had given it to me to read.

As I heard the story I was constantly reminded of Seshagiri. It's more than a decade, I have met or spoken with him. Recently I heard that he is in Hyderabad. I hope he is doing well, and I wish that I see him sometime. Of course, if we meet we won't play chess. He was always a better play than I (I vaguely remember he bet me in the final game of MBT chess championship, or was it a draw?). Given I am so out of touch (with chess) that our game would be totally one sided.
