when i think abt kunchiwala uncle and eva aunty, my memory takes me back to that time when i reached to karlsruhe on the evening of 1st september, 2004 along with a few other iitans. to say the least we were worried and overawed in a new place with new culture and alien language. but we found in uncle and aunty the care and affection that drove away all our awe abt this place. they were unknowns to us but what they did for us (and are still doing) was amazing. through out our stay in karlsruhe, we were secure because we knew whatever happened at least we had a shelter and there was at least two ppl in the world who wud stay with us. the love and affection that we got from them can not be expressed in words. we are grateful to them for whatever they did for us. as far as i am concerned, i really feel lucky to have got the chance to meet them. they are like my parents in karlsruhe. i will not say thanks to them coz that will be too formal a gesture to these great family, but from the core of my heart i convey my regards to uncle and aunty.
