9 Jan : Muskan updated her status by becoming
‘Buaa’. She was very excited and had gone to Mumbai to be with her family.
Kajal was in Delhi, and her doctor has planned delivery on 9th
morning by operation. And a baby boy, looking like his grandmother was born. The similarity is very much striking and accurate.
Nandini while accepting congratulations said, ‘Uncle
tell Muskan to make me massi.’ I told her, 'Mere Dil Ki baat, Cheen Lee.'
So this
is my way of telling her to make Nandini ‘massi’. And ofcource lots of other people
will also change status. Most of us will move to next generation.
10 Jan : Dhwani wanted to Cut her Birthday cake
exactly at her birth time. i.e. 8.30 pm.
Whereas Bindiya is very punctual and follows a very accurate time line,
Dhwani on other hand is exactly opposite her. She does not have time measuring
knack. Her two minutes can be 30 minutes and 60 minutes can be 5 minutes. Everyone knows this. So it was 8.30 and I was relaxed, watching TV
along with Bindiya. Not expecting Dhwani and party to reach home in time. Suddenly bell rang, all kids of the family entered and
table was set on war footing. And believe me, Dhwani cut the cake at 8.36 pm!
An achievement in itself.
The cake was a present from Kashyap & Muskan. They
had baked this unique cake made up of exotic product range like some very special
cheese, strawberry paste and fresh strawberry, some imported diet biscuits, few
other ingredients which I cannot pronounce. All sourced from Dhorabjis. The
whole birthday celebration was done in very fast forward manner, so much so
that we do not have a picture of cake also! It got finished within 5 minutes. This is Fast & Furious generation, so be it. I
agree we enjoy food, but to me also this is the limit!
Dhwani again also celebrated her birthday at office. The staff
of Cutit decorated cabin with ribbons and brought a nice creamy cake for her to
cut. So the second cake was cut at cutit studio. Lali wants to start this
celebration system for all staff members of Noble Printer! But I find it childish.
11 Jan: Kashyap & Dhwani left for Nashik.
Dhwani’s ‘Phuiaya’ had some urgent work in Devlali. They returned home at 3 0”clock
in morning. And Akshay also returned home at 2.30 am. Today's generation's
sense of timing is very much improper. Maybe the internal clock setting is
changing in all human being. For centuries, human being timing was set by
rising & setting sun. Now that for last 100 years due to electricity the
need for Sun is not so strong, this timing is changing.
Here is very interesting episode of Akshay. Around 2.3 pm,
I received a call from Akshay, all excited. ‘Papa, arrange for 250 Voyager 11
Silver color bag. Inquiry is very strong, get in touch with Robert, who is out
of reach, as he is attending annual meeting.’ Just after few minutes, Amol
called with same request. Now Voyager's sell in year itself is much less than 250
pieces in all sizes and colors. So this was worth pursuing, and no one for a minute though about genuineness of inquiry.
The story behind this inquiry is unique. Ali is a
distributor in Hyderabad. Last night he was feeling bored, so at 11.0 he
started for Solapur in his car. He picked one distributor from there and
reached Pune in early morning. He called all AT dealers with whom he had
enjoyed Andaman Trip, and generated the 250 quantity inquiry of Voyager! He
played this prank with all and by evening all dealers, Akshay included meet him.
They all realized the truth of this inquiry and laughed. They then planned ‘Sinhgad’
trip. But by 7 O’clock in evening
Sinhgad gets closed, so they have to return back. They all went all the way to
Lonavala to eat dinner at Tony Da Dhaba! This guy Ali, returned back to
Hyderabad after 40 hours roaming around! What people do for boredom solution.
