  Naga bombarded Google, while Maya took her much needed rest.

  ‘P.Ganapathy Iyer’ returned 1.4 million pages. After the first few, he gave up. Not a single relevant hit. Just a lot of links to some published articles and debates. ‘P.Ganapathy Iyer Madras University’ returned 96,000 pages and ‘P.Ganapathy Iyer Madras University Economics Department’ returned 94,000.

  Not a single link to his detailed background. Google needs to upgrade its search algorithm.

  He tried the Madras University website, still no luck, in desperation, he switched off the computer and grabbed a beer from the refrigerator.

  Whatever happens, happens for the good.

  The day had proved to be quite eventful, and he was happy that Maya was really beautiful. More importantly, she was intelligent and curious.

  The only thing that bothered him was that she showed little to no romantic inclinations.

  She had flirted in her emails before. So definitely I do stand a chance. I have to make the first move. Fast.
