14th October 2013 to 20th October 2013 [market Yard]

Monday: Shyam-Moni-Deepa-Kashyap-Muskan-Sharat had gone for Beer Party at Corianthan in afternoon! Muskan enjoyed herself by posing with beer mugs, which were gulped down by other five. We had planned a Kulfi-Falooda party at B7. Rajesh Khanna has a dialogue in Anand, “Kutub minar pe 6 beer pee kee OUT ho gai thee hum.” Actual example of this was presented when at 10.30 we came to know the party is postponed for tomorrow,just few glasses of beer made them sleepy and out.

Tuesday: Deepak Thakur, cousin of Peter died suddenly at very young age and his ‘Chautha’ was between 5.0 – 5.30 at Jhulelal Mandir, which we attended.

After dinner all assembled and non stop, non sense continued till 11.30! For example.

Uncle told Muskan that in 60’s & 70’s we would carry stone in car while coming to Pune. During Ghat’s climbing when car would not be able to move ahead, one of us will jump out and put stone under tyre so that car does not slide backward. Now Muskan asked logical question, how a lone person would tackle this situation?

Based on this query we laughed at Muskan’s cost for at least 15 minutes, non-stop. All imaginative and unimaginative explanations were passed on, discussed and laughed at.

It was long time that we had not pulled Akshay’s leg. I directed Deepa and soon we were allin groove, making fun of Akshay. I am pleased to announce that we have not got rusted in that department. During all this fun, we missed Dhawani, she was in Mumbai.

We relieved our childhood. Mummy had made excellent falooda. Rubbery was outsourced from some Halwai and Kulfi was from Devang. And on top of it, Mapro’s Rose syrup was sprinkled. A super duper treat.

Muskan – Lali- Akki are busy attending XRBIA crash course in tele marketing and lead generation at their office along with other dealers. Currently the property market is very slack and expected response is not there, hence all these activities. All are very hopeful and expect good result. 

Sunday: Kashyap and I decided to visit market yard at 6.0 am. Kashyap wanted to take some photographs and I planned to buy some veges.  We ate Misal & Kanda Poha and loaded five bags with vegetable for the week. I tried my hand at making pickle with mummy as advisor. Next week result will be out. Till then I will keep my fingers crossed. When unloading I created a food item sculpture. Readers, I need your opinion on this. What do you see? Pic is attached here.
