CASE # 577 (FURTHER SOLVED AUGUST 18, 2014)
Dear Aspi, Maneck Patrawala is a family friend of my family and we were in good contact when my parents were alive.   Unfortunately, after my mother passed away,  our contact is very limited.   Incidentally, he stays in the same colony as mine; Godrej Baug!   I am pleased to provide you his cell no – +XXXXXXXX.   His home no is  +91-22-XXXXXXX.   The last I heard about the patrawalas is that his wife hutoxi had gone to Australia to help in the delivery of her daughter, who has settled there.  I think maneck has become a grandfather of a beautiful baby girl. Maneck  works as an insurance surveyor but also sails as Captain for short trips to Middle-east.  He visited Aden a couple of times  in the last three years and always makes it a point to meet up Jeewan and spend some time with him.   I am sure with the phone details provided, your pal will be able to resume contact with maneck.  Unfortunately, I don’t have his e mail id so cant help you on that score. Thanks & Regards Hormazd Cooper

CASE # 564 (NOW SOLVED? POSTED DECEMBER 2, 2013)

Dear Mr. Ader,  I have a request and wonder if you will be able to help and apologize for causing you this inconvenience.  My mother used to live in Pune at Nana Peth up to Mid 50′s before migrating to Pakistan.  She had a best friend named Gul Dinshaw Bharucha and to this date she talks about her very fondly and would simply love to have the opportunity again to speak to her on the phone . However,  we have no contact details for her. I think she used to live in Modi Colony Pune. They studied together at the Convent of Jesus and Mary and  Wadia College in Pune. My mother is now at the age of 79. I have briefly  tried a few years ago to get some news of Ms. Gul Dinshaw Bharucha  and possibly get them both in touch over phone but was unable to find her. Highly appreciate if you can help otherwise please ignore this message and I apologize again for this inconvenience. Many Thanks, N Riaz nauman.riaz@citi.com If you have any information, please write directly tonauman.riaz@citi.comt and copy AderGandi@Gmail.com so it can be recorded as a solved case. Thank you.
