I am at calicut in Kerala for the last two days. Today along with my wife, I went to shopping in the town and afterwards went to Vasantha Bhawan restaurant for coffee. When I was sitting there enjoying coffee, my mind went back several years. Yes, the place was not a restaurant at that time, but was the main Post Office in the city. Many of the meetings of the NFPTE meetings were held there and important decisions taken.

It is good that a new Head Post Office building has been constructed  later along with Recreation Club facilities also in the centre of the town. The P&T ( or rather Postal and BSNL) co-operative Credit Society is also functioning there. Even now that Head Post Office is the centre for many meetings of the Postal and BSNL Unions.

Still when the memory goes back and a nostalgia arises for the old post office, where I was sipping coffee. It also came to my mind that how many royal palaces have  been converted to five-star hotels, not only in Rajasthan, but all over India?
