Vacation time is over. It is time
to start daily routine. This is Chinky is in 10th Standard. The most
important school year and most tension filled year. How will she fair?
Monday: To describe Pre-showers
relief, after the stifling heat and stiffness in air, is impossible. You have
to feel it to love it. Muskan informed me the gathering of clouds so I climbed
out of my dug out i.e. office. I meet Kashyap near the gate, all smiles and
giving filmy pose and saying, ‘Wow, Papa. Rains have come to Pune.’
As is the tradition since 60’s,
first light shower brings among other best things, power cut! Yes. MSEB obliges
us with frequent power cut of 45-60 minutes right up to 12 O’clock in night.
With blessing of MSEB we enjoy candle light dinner with no TV. Then we sit
around a candle discussing anything and everything. Kids call it quality time! After
some quality time, Akshay went for his BC party, Kashyap to Ma Faiza, Bindiya
to her Bed. So we three decided to take a walk and buy vege’s at 10.0 pm! One
round of sacred heart tells you how blessed you are if you live in this place.
Thanks to Gods.
Tuesday: During last night debate it was decided that
Akshay – Kashyap should get up early in the morning. And to make that happen, I
was given the charge! First day was success, let’s hope this continues.
Thursday: Officially monsoon
arrived with great funfair in Pune. Lights and Sound effects were good. And the
best part is, myself and Dhawani got wet, reached home and with help of Muskan
prepared ‘Garma Garam’ Onion Pakodas. Sorry, ‘Kandha Bhaji!’. And
Akshay-Kashyap who usually take their own time to reach home, somehow they got the smell of hot bhajia and
were on table devouring and relishing the Pav-Bhaji.
Saturday: Akshay-Muskan-Mummy-Jia
with her child left in Xylo for Mumbai. Now here is story for those cynics who
say that there is no effect of planets on human being. While coming to Pune,
Jia was involved in serious accident, but she and her child survived without a scratch.
And in her return trip to Mumbai, for the first time in some many years, Xylo
stopped at Vashi, and it moved only after it was repaired, which took 5 hours
time! Muskan says that it was Jia’s travelling ‘Grahas’, effect.
Sunday: Akshay returned with Mummy & SLB
family to Pune. In past, whenever we will take our fiat to Pune, Daddy will see to it
that car was utilized full. That means, minimum of 5 passengers, dicky full with
bags and other material, or if nothing else ready, his books! Akshay has somehow learned to fill up
the Xylo at least with maximum number of passengers. What would you say to
this, DNA effect? Or ‘Sanat’? Or ‘Sanskars’?
