No DISHEVELLED look.<br /><br />GOMBU:<br /><br />Was MADE of such stuff that he could take an ADVERSARY head on at times in an AMUSING manner. Born and brought up in ASIA, he wore many caps. Learnt mountaineering in the foothills of the EVEREST and had scaled it twice. Was an ECONOMIST from LSE and even had two (twins) from the MEDICI family as his classmates. Joined the army in America. Played tennis with ASHE. Was RECOMMENDED and deputed to NATAL and later to Nigeria on a secret mission.<br />One could go on. But what is to be noted is that with his knowledge of STENOGRAPHY he had made in shorthand and kept it in a sealed cover.<br />What was in that cover? Was it that cover he had handed over to SS?C.G.
