RE: "I think it's good of Paritosh to reach out. I hope he would for me."
Yes, it is a nice gesture, to let the fellow
know, that someone cares about him in Mother's
Courtyard.
Perhaps he is feeling depressed this New Year's Eve..
..maybe he has not yet reached that sublime level, when we discover and cherish the 'exquisite enjoyments of solitude'.
He could very well wander into a cyber-cafe and sit down at a machine...then, lo & behold, he sees that Paritosh is looking for him.
