Tue: Muskan calls. In a very sad, low voice she informs, ‘She
is going.’
Now, who is this 'she', where is she is going, why so sad?
I search my database for clue, Dhawani will be going to her ‘Mika’ after 30 days, Mummy is not planning a few stay in Krshna Kunj, who else? Then coin drops.
Yes, this must be reference to our new maid. I ask, ‘Anita’ Her reply confirms,
‘yes papa.’ So the maids ‘katha’ continues with one more chapter. Our
previous maid, Namrata was very efficient, prompt and hard working. But she had
this ambition of pursuing the nursing career. Muskan managed to hold her till
KhushiRam’s birth, once he was born, she left on 10th June. One of
the old maid ‘Vaishali’ whom Muskan has helped in her time of need, promised
and sent her cousin. But her timing of starting new job was bad. How? With
Bindiya hospitalization, Khushiram care, work load was high and she was not
able to cope it and found the work back breaking. So within one week she left suddenly, without any notice. So hunt is on for next episode, sorry, next maid.
Sat: Mumbai is once again flooded with monsoon water. Whole
city is on stand still. Just like it was in 2005 deluge of three days. It has
being raining for seven days.
Manju’s parents finally sold off their flat in Pushpa Milan,
peddar road, which they had purchased in 70’s. It was a breezy, smack in
the posh area of Mumbai with the great view with Jugjit Singh as neighbor.
They accomplished an uphill task with big help from Lali, of
getting a customer, closing the deal, doing the paper work, getting the payment
which was in crores, and registering the sale documents, all in 2 months
time! Here we are struggling to sell our
plot in Lulla nagar for last 4 years with no success. They returned to
Singapore, claiming this as their last trip to India, as they both are well
past 80’s. Suresh their only son is least interested in India and is not at all
willing to put his steps here. He has told his parent to wind up all issues in
India.

Rinky’s wish of
having Saturday night dinner and movie has kicked off nicely. Today’s show was excellent
movie, “Dil Dhadakne Do”. A Zoha Akhtar movie, set on a cruise. Multi star
cast, family drama set in various locations around the world. Scripting part
was excellent, story line and music was ok, presentation was superb and
production value superlative.
A child brings in lot
of smiles on all family members. Including Dhwani, all are smiling more, Muskan
has kind of created a record. I have yet to see her UN-Smiling face in recent
days. And here is picture of two nani's. One is from father side, other is from mother side. Geeta Chawla. officially Kashyap Mami, un offically Kabir's Par Nani. And Tarla Shah, Kabir Nani.
All smiles.
