East meets west


On my visit to the US (in August 2007, accompanied by my wife Sheela), I took a stop-over at London. While taking a stroll in St. Georges Centre, Harrow, Middlesex, I casually stepped inside Boots Opticians practice to say hallo, and was pleasantly greeted by dispensing optician Mohammed Raza Alidina: “Are you Dr. Narendra Kumar? I have read your letters in Optician several times.”

In USA, on my visit to Southern College of Optometry at Memphis, I was greeted by Dr. Willis Maples: “I can now put a face to a name.” (I was in correspondence with Dr. Maples, but we had never met before!). The picture shows me with Dr. Pinakin Gunvant (left) and Dr. Maples (centre).
