Car Stories:

| 14 people of this Picture were passangers for Sunday Outing at Powai. |
- About Picture: This was taken just after Bhagwan Uncle - Maya Aunty wedding. Durga Bhabhi with Kids, Mohini Chachi with Kids, Mummy with her Kids. One can see Dad and this piture was shot by Bhagwan Uncle. How they all fit in car is beyond me. I was present, [that skinny boy entering car), but I hva eno recollection. In Our family it is possible as such feat was accomplished by Sanjay. He had stuffed 8 Adults in Maruti 800, for Lonavala Trip
MRX 8025, is easy number, favorite number, which I remember even
today, whereas our first Maruti Van number or for that matter current Xylo
number beats me. Dad used to say that Fait is my fifth child. And will talk
about it very lovingly. I came to know via Fait story that Dad wanted a
daughter very badly, but after failing to get daughter after four attempts,
finally he adopted ‘Fait’ as his daughter! Maximum tours by road were
done in this car. Mumbai-Pune trips, South India tour, Ahemdabad – Abu Tour,
Hydrabad Tour, Nasik, Shirdi etc, were done when travelling by car was
considered dangerous and adventure. We were never stranded on road due to
engine or any other mechanical problem. Only issue used to be tire puncture!
Which Lali and myself will change in flat 7 minutes! Once on Shirdi trip,
engine developed oil leakage problem [tiny hole in engine block], but engine
kept running till we reached 1306, pune, our destination. From that day on wards, I
also thought that Fiat has ‘Jaan’ in it and in spite of all hardship to her,
takes good care of family by taking all challenges like a mother does for her
child! Of course today it sounds stupid, but in that innocent age, it was
really good feeling, which gave strength to us for making such road trips.
Are ‘Major Changes’ are round the corner? Well it
seems they are. Xrbia has planned a major launching of Chakan
Project in August End. They are planning to hand over 700 flats, 9 months in
advance of Hinjewadi Project, unheard thing in construction business. They have
also kept huge budget for advertisements for Chakan Project launching and
Governments announcements about affordable housing and Home Loan rate benefit
for affordable houses cannot come at better time. Intention is to create
history by selling 700 flats in flat 7 days. Is it possible? If yes, our
financial worries will diminish to large extend.
Secondly, Akshay for the first time got involved in meeting
with management which lasted till 3.30 am! And he received a very lucrative
offer also. Let’s see how serious that offer is or for that matter, how lucrative it is. Only future can revel the answer.
Thirdly, the changing or shall we say shifting
sands are presenting different layout on desert board. Dunes have changed
shape, some have grown up, some have moved on, some are contemplating to move
on and some are flattening out. [Wow, I like this sentence.] One can
observe, reflect and see only. Can one modify the design set by the winds? No
sir.
Tue: Rains finally arrived this week. In last 8 years in
Pune I had not got wet as we used to get in Mumbai. But on the first day of
good rains in Pune, I had to go for the meeting at Karve Road, while returning,
I got totally drenched and enjoyed every minute of it. Welcome Indra Devta!
Wed: Now that first Bahu’s sister got married, it was turn
of Second Bahu’s sister to get ready for marriage. Both families (i.e Kachhi
& Punjabi) meet and decided for engagement of Kosha with LP a Punjabi Boy,
on Sunday. This will be second wedding in Shah Family this year. MEacnwhile,
continuing with wedding season, we were invited to Khandala by Mona for 3 day
week end. Object, Perpare the Skit for Kunal Narang Wedding.
This time, for the first time all six of us were in
Khandala.
This weekend matter will be the part of Special Edition, as
I have to insert many pictures.
