15th Dec 2014 – 21st Dec 2014 [Chilling time]


 
Thu: Xrbia again placed Advertisement for its 7 projects and for the first time in last six months, all Six tele callers and sales executives were busy throughout the day. Impact of advertisement is very high. But then the range of products offered is also good and with the financial offers which are very attractive, this becomes most lucrative, desirable deal. This century is of high tech way of doing business, internet business models, Tele Calling, advertisement blitzkrieg, Exhibition sale, all things are geared up to bring results in 7 days time. Work round the clock for seven days and then chill out! If successful, you enjoy, else plan for next attack!
  
We are truly now living in 21st Century, living style has changed, priorities have changed, happy life requirements have changed. With very high stress, fragile relationships, everyone is looking for entertainment, the needs of living are now not ‘Roti – Kapda – Makan’ any more, but latest mobiles, fancy cars, foreign trips, in short more goodies which give you short span happiness, driving your attention from surmounting routine problems, to false sense of achievement . Eating out has become compulsory requirement, even if the options are tasteless, unhealthy junk food. And mind you, this is happening in all strata of social structure. That is why, from 7 star hotels restaurants to Small ‘Thela selling Pani Puri’ guy are doing great business. Even our office boy, Vithal works at two places, driver Raju runs two rickshaw along with doing 9 to 6 jobs at Noble.

Fri: Welcome Dimpy. 
Dimpy Punjabi has come from London and brought with her one more Dimpy. Her daughter looks like carbon copy of Dimpi of 80's. Dimpi's life reflects how life can change unexpectedly, dramatically and in short period.
Just some year back, what I had visualized her life will be, is no more relevant today. It is totally different and opposite. It was time when, Lal, her father was struggling and working hard in USA, trying for Green Card (Which he got after many years of hard life), so that he can bring his family to USA. In India, Shoba her mother was living alone with two teenager kids, struggling day to day. Yes, she had very good support of her army of sisters, but at the end of day, you have to face your challenges yourself and solve your daily problems, one cannot ask for help in daily issues solutions, that was in late 90's.

 Today, Dimpy is happily married, having a cute baby and living in exotic London with a very loving husband, Ravi. Yes, living alone in foreign country is a big challenge, but the scene which I thought was going to take place is drastically different, as of now. It is like cheese and chalk. All credit should go to her mother and Dimpi for accepting and overcoming tough times.

It must have being very challenging growing up, in happening place like Lokhandwala, with lots of distractions, burdens, pressures, issues etc. Dimpi and Pashu are two most electrifying, energetic and lovely personalities among more than one dozen ‘Chawla’ cousins. Just presence of those two elevated the level of a simple party to great party. And I must say that Dimpi did not succumb to life pressure and maintains her vibrating happy, smiling personality. Way to go, girl.

Kashyap - Dhwani are back to Mumbai, getting ready for Dhwani’s sister Kosha’s wedding. 
Muskan – Akshay are having gala time at Vits, taking part in Xrbia Exbhition. 
Avi – Megha and kids are planning short Chennai Trip. 
Lali - Manju are now, finally aggressively engaged into Sharat’s matrimonial solutions. 
Rest of us are enjoying God’s gift i.e great weather, misty mornings, chilly afternoons and peaceful nights.

And all are waiting for eventful 2014 to end.
