31st March 2014 – 6th April 2014 [Elections 2014]



2nd Wed: Now a days due to Xrbia, nearly everyone is working round the clock. The results are slow in coming, but they are there. Insha Allah, soon some changes can be seen, maybe six months.  Last month we strived for No1 in sales among Xrbia dealers, and achieved our target successfully.  For this additional incentive was also given to staff.

 'What about us?' Muskan asked and replied in same breath, ‘A simple picnic to Banti Hai. Lets make a evening out picnic.’ Luckily, Shyam & family were in Pune. So we planned a evening picnic at Impress Garden, target time 5 O’clock.  At 4.45 Akshay – Moni were off to meeting with Bindra regarding Plot 609, skipping the picnic, Kashyap said, I am busy. Dhwani – Avi said we will come late. It looked like our picnic idea was fizzling out. It was 6.15 when I picked KK family members. Half way to Impress Garden, I felt why not go to Plot 609, Akshay – Moni were there, it is nice open space. Muskan and others also jumped to this suggestion as Impress Garden closed at 7. So I turned Xylo and reached 609 in few minutes, watched sun set from a vintage point and had gala time playing ‘Dum Sharaj’, and gossiping. 

Mummy and Ratna aunty made very yummy Batata Wada and excellent Mirchi Pakoras after long gap of time. Wow. Along with it, the watchman made hot tea, which was supplemented by ‘Green Tea’ brought by Manju. Shivam’s Dhokla, wafers, Jilebees made the complete picnic menu.

5th Sat: Soham and Harsh came from Mumbai to prepare a script for wedding of Meet and Aska, where Kashyap is Best Man. Shah’s want this wedding events to be held in English style! Cake cutting, Gowns, Ball dance, Wine party, Bachelors Party  etc.  Girl side on the engagement day, which I had attained,  recited in chorus, sudh sankrit shalokas as blessing for couple. What a contrasting cultural attitude between two families.
   
 Normally, the skit is conducted on very first day of celebration; Meet wants this to be held as last program of 3 days and 2 nights function at Silvasa! For skit/entertainment program, all kind of ideas we exchanged and discussed. This process started at 8.0 p.m. on Saturday and continued without break till 5.0 am Sunday!

I finally had a hair cut after long time. But I am still in love with my ‘choti’, which I hardly am able to see. So I am still carrying this long ‘choti’, properly wrapped in rubber band. I am inmood of making two predictions for coming months. One: highest recorded temp in Pune is 43.3 degree, which we may touch this year. Two: During next 40 days, before the election results are out, one major political earthquake is expected. May be attack on prominent leader.  

Politics 2014 [Without Comments]

Reminds of a popular dialogue from movie ‘Dabang’ –
 ‘Thappar se darr nahi lagta Saab ji, Pyar se lagta hai’
Sonia ji to Imam Bukhari –
 “Communal parties se darr nahi lagta Imam Saab,other ‘Secular’ parties se darr lagta hai”
