Sunday: Akshay and myself attended important meeting of
General Body at Ashoka Hall, near Neelayam. JV was discussed and debated. Practically all stack holders were present for the first time. After due deliberation
votes were taken, 65 said yes, 4 said no. Builder, we hope will start the
process and we all are crossing our figures and hoping this will be done on
fast track, hopeful are saying 4 years, practical people commit 5 years and cynics say anything between 7-10 years.
At this meeting I met Mr Chandan Chwala from Bangkok. It turns
out that he used to live opposite 1306, Shukerwar Peth and is Girish Dodeja’s
friend. He knew about our family in detail and spoke of those days with
fondness. He remembered Bansider, Dada, Manu, and Bharat Kagad Bhandar. Wow. This type of connection raised few question in my mind.
Are we meant to meet people like this?
What is aim of these chance meeting?
Do they have any objective?
Thursday: This guy, called Gurav is a bundle of talent. He
writes his lyrics, composes his creation, plays guitar and to top it, sings those line with feeling! In
the short span of life, he has faced lot of hurt, gone through emotional
turmoil. This reflects in his work. A sensitive guy. In one song, he brings lot
of variation, tastes. Kashyap – Dhwani have become his friends. He gives live
performance in posh restaurants for hour or two on weekdays. So Muskan – Kashyap
– Dhwani – Sharat all visited restaurant just to enjoyed his singing. After stand up comedy,
this new trend has started in Pune, Live music. Few other restaurants are also
taking up this trend, live band, informal sitting, good food. [You can even sit
on floor!].
Friday: Man proposes and God disposes. In 2006, when we
shifted to Pune, plan was to stay together, enjoy life. We are staying together
and enjoying life but there is hidden agenda of God. Staying together part has
huge wholes, gaps. In last 9 years, Kashyap had stayed away from Pune for various
period of time, in London for one year or so, then Malaysia for his TV show,
then in Andheri (W) for few years,
struggling to get toehold as free lancer. After marriage he shifted his base to Pune, but his few days in a week stay in Mumbai continued for some time. Just recently, he had given
up that practice.
To compliment it, Akshay has started living in Mumbai for
few days a week.
This is irony of life.
Saturday: Rinky's movie evening was skipped this Saturday. House shifting process can be enjoyed if you are not
attached to particular location. I firmly believe that four walls do not
make home, but the family members attachment towards each other make
home. So this whole process of shifting is kind of fun. You come across many lost things, open up old memories in this process.
Life has settled itself in a groove, on an edge,
on a major crossing, in twilight zone. Like Budha, we have taken what life
throws at us and need to continue in same mode. One moment the sights are
filled with un foreseen good and very pleasant surprises and next moment is filled
with worry, tension, uncertainty about future. This process has being going on
for quite some time. Hope this gets settled in our favor before ‘Chutki’
arrives.
