I have left Calicut for New Delhi in 1991 joining the CHQ of All India Telecom Employees Union as its President having been elected in a stiff contest at Bhopal Conference after defeating O.P.Gupta group. I have gone from Calicut along with my wife and other comrades to attend the AIC and to return to Calicut after the conference. But I could not return to Calicut as I was compelled to stay at Delhi and my wife and other comrades returned without me. I could not even intimate my relations, comrades, friends and colleagues at Calicut about my shift to Delhi. It wa all of a sudden. I had to leave Calicut which was my area of work for a long thirty years..
Now I am at Calicut for some days in connection with the Party Congress of the CPI(M). During the last three days I have met a lot of comrades and friends whom I have not met for years. They were happy as also me. They have not forgotten me. It was surprising that a lot of young comrades also came to ne and greeted telling they know me from press reports and photos. Many took photos with me. At the exhibition, Seminars, dining room, meeting place, a lot of old friends and comrades are greeting and enquiring about health etc. I am overwhelmed.
I had thought that comrades have forgotten since I was away for a long period. No. Neither I have forgotten, nor they. There is no time bar nor barrier. Comrades are comrades, friends are friends. The bond is so strong not to be broken by time.
Thank you Comrades, I am happy.

Long live the comrades. Wish the Party Congress all the success. Our fight should be against the media with vested interests, trying to propagate hate campaigns against the Leftists.
