14th Dec 2015 – 20th Dec 2015 [Where is winter?]

Dad's Great Grandson 

Dad would be happy to see his Great Grandson taking knee interest in book at ripe old age of 6 months!!!!

The year 2015, is coming to end, and this is the time to reflect upon last 12 months and plan for next 12 months. Right?

“No new resolutions for this year. I will try to complete 2015 resolutions, which I had made in 2014 but not completed. Those resolutions were planned in 2013. Which actually were supposed to be completed in 2012! This is how life takes its strides, at its own speed, which we sometimes find very slow and sometimes, super fast, yesterday Lali said, 2015 is gone, just in a blink!”

Déjà woo statement. It is kind of statement which can you repeat every year.

This year I am being daring by announcing this years targets on public platform. I will be asking all family members also.

So, here I go and put my neck on slab. My year 2016 resolutions.

1>     Work on development of my blog site www.pgdodeja.com

2>     Clear at least 50% of old loans.

3>     Plan a KK2, and put the plan in action.

4>   Get Sharat Married

And here are few lines from this years blogs. And with notes on what happed…..

“Sindhu Films and Cut-it Studio is soon going to announce its first ever, video channel on You tube. This can be precursor to a movie making project in future. Bravo. Script is ready, actors have being approached, and production department is ready. Soon shooting will start soon.”

[No such development as predicted, but yes, we did make one skit on Diwali…]

Discussed 0n 12 Jan 15 -

Dhwani is game so is Kashyap. Akshay & Muskan had gone to Ankit house to wish them happy anniversary. Debate starts and it goes on for some time. Do we want the name of baby to have some meaning, or should it have great sound, or maybe based on some icon. Kashyap suggests, ‘Kabir’. I say, ‘The name should have ‘sh’ in its spelling.’ Dhwani does not have any particular name in mind. But ultimately we get stuck, which alphabet? Is the name for boy or girl? So let’s wait. Meanwhile, my list of nominated names is growing as I add one more name in my dairy.

[Baby was named Kabir, a name without ‘sh’]

My intuition is saying, soon I will be singing, ‘Dil Chata Hai, phir wahi fursat ke raat din’

[How true, this is for all of us]

From tomorrow we will break away from our tradition of being traders. Trading is in our blood. Noble group, as I call it has its foundation in 1930’s, in Karachi with Sind Stationery Mart. It was but a trading activity. Our grandfathers decedents are still in trading, and we will be first to break this norm.

[Action of that time, lead to very challenging, tough and difficult 2015.2016 looks promising, so it is worthwhile]

Meanwhile our Lokram Dodeja - HUF group is in full form, Big Boss game is on in big way. 2nd task is to win a debate. Topic is, MERCY KILLING. One team will talk in favor and one against.

So life goes on …..

Meanwhile, Chennai suffered huge flooding due to changing climate effect. Pune climate is also becoming very erratic. Last two days were summer days in mid of winter season! Help.
