Dear Uncle and Aunty,

I am writing in your guest book after returning back to India that is after spending marvelous nine months of DAAD scholarship with you. After coming back I am still not able to admit that my uncle and aunty are not with me. After settling here the memories from Karlsruhe and Germany have expelled from my heart.

It was your words of love, direction and parental guidance which have supported me in the foreign country. The care which you had taken made me feel that I have not come very far from my country. It is really difficult to express these feelings in words. My parents in Pune were worrying about me, but when I told them that Kunchiwala uncle is there in Karlsruhe to take care of Indian students then they were really relaxed about my stay in Germany. My parents have rightly mentioned that ‘you are true partner in successfully completing my educational study in Germany’.

I have carried all the cherished memories of my stay at Karlsruhe with you. The frequent meet for dinners at your home and at Europahaus, my birthday celebration, visits to the places near Karlsruhe and most memorable visit to Atomic Power Plant arranged by you are some of the moments which I can not forget.

I pray for your long, healthy and prosperous life. Please come to my home whenever you come to India and allow me to host your stay here in India. I hope we will meet again in India or may be in Germany.

I really miss you both uncle and aunty.

Davendu.
