Dhiraj : Oh! Many thanks, my dearest friend. I miss you.
Bhim : I miss you too.
Dhiraj : I’m so happy that you have topped your university. We are
proud of you. My parents also wanted to congratulate you on
your success. They are also very happy. Your hidden talents are
unfolded. I’m really proud of you, friend!
Bhim : It’s always pleasant to hear from you. The credit of my success
goes to you. We used to share everything, didn’t we? But this
time I’m really sorry. I was quite busy. Hope you understand.

Dhiraj : Never mind.
Bhim : But actually how did you come to know about it?
Dhiraj : Stupid! I read about it from a daily news paper, the News Ex-
press. Your photo startled me. When I went through the lines,
I was almost crying. Dear, I can’t express in words how happy I
was. Again I would like to congratulate you on your great suc-
cess. Keep up the spirit, man!
Bhim : Thank you so much.
Dhiraj : You’re most welcome. Bye for now.

Bhim : Bye !
