When   I returned   from   North   Cyprus   cancelling    part of the   leave as per the email   from the    Director of NITC welcoming me back to contribute whatever possible for   building   of the   National Institute of Technology Calicut, we   had   already got our first   grandson. As a fitting reward for the efforts of our   daughter in law in preparing for the   PG entrance examination, she   had also got selection   to the   PG course in the department of Opthalmology   at Calicut Medical College.
