Sapna’s son and Sunita aunt’s niece are getting married, we
received invites from both sides, but only Avi left for this grand Hydrabad
wedding. And Muskan in spirit of pulling his leg, gave him instruction like,
‘Do not lean our of door, do not accept eatable from stranger, take care of
bag.’ And what happened? Within few hours of journey his Mobile was stolen!
Few years back, we all family members would have gone to
attain this type of wedding, and that also in XYLO. And we would have thrown in
few sightseeing days also. Nowadays, it has become difficult to even spare two
days flying visit, everyone is busy in his/her sphere of activity and committed
in such a way that to extract two days of free time appears impossible!

And there is one more wedding in Hyderabad in October. Vijay
Dodeja’s daughter, Bhavini is getting married to a boy, related to Bal, settled
in Hyderabad. It appears, Mumbai has lost as First option for wedding location
in Sindhi community. Goa, Baroda, Hydrabad, Pune, Mahableshwar are preferred
locations, in short, native place.
Thursday: Kabir received his life’s first three injections
in one go. Poor guy cried and cried, his kegs kept hurting him, he nearly
brought tears in all ladies eyes. He also had slight fever. So all 4 ladies we
engaged for the day, trying hard to pacify him.
Is this process of long drawn vaccination process, lasting
14 years; necessary?
Two conflicting
views are there. Some say it is good for future health, some say it is more a
marketing gimmick by drug companies.
Friday: Muskan and Akshay are off to Mumbai. Muskan will be
in Mumbai, her father is getting operated for Gall Bladder removal, than she is
off to Baroda for wedding. It had taken lot of cajoling by Nanda kids to make
Hemchand [Muskan’s father] agree for operation. Like father, like daughter. It
is minor operation which will be done in two stages.
Saturday: Finally I was able to sort out Black and White
photographs. I use lot of digital media, but physical pictures are still
holding its charm. I have finished 90% of album for Kabir’s grand children.
This album contains picture of four generation belonging to [Lokram –
Girdharilal – Prakash – Akshay] from 30’s to 90’s. I will seal it in airtight
container and keep it as heirloom for future generations. Now I need to sit
with Dhwani and write basic intro to picture.
