Hello all ,
It is indeed a privelege to writebout Uncle and Aunty Kunchiwala in this guest book. I happened to visit their place for Diwali. Those were some treasured moments during my nine month long stay in Germany which I will always relish and reminisce. In the midst of the festivites there, I was transported back to India. All my qualms about not getting to meet my family vanished. It was then I came to know more about these nice people.

Uncle and Aunty, for quite som years now, are helping Indian students visitng Germany to get accustomed and settle down. A new guy like me will always feel lost in a new country. I had a pretty difficult time to get a grip on nuances of german life. For example, never put a Euro in those telephone kiosk and expect to get the change back., never ask for just a vegetarian burger, becuase they happily give fish sayin it is vegetarian, never expect to get utensils here, their prices are high enough to buy a lot for ur marriage back home :P.. I had learnt all this.. Learnt it the hard way. And hence I am indeed a bit jealous of Thomas , Kathyayanni and many others who were uder the lovign care and guidance of Kunchiwalas. They had provided them with the precious assitance , given them a home away from home. I was surprised to know the extent of their netwrok across germany. It was like to get a favour from them, all u need to do is to know them.

It is not without a sense of trueness that all call them Uncle and Aunty, ....trueness built from their affection. after meeting them, I can now happily say that I have relatives in Germany....
An Uncle and an Aunty :)..
A simple thanks wouldnt suffix, but still, Vielen Dank
