Don't go for looks, they can deceive. Don't go for wealth,
even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you
smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day
seem bright
This I am going to call as shopping week.
Muskan is busy since Monday in full fledges shopping. I
think she will be confused to tell from which shop she has purchased an item
and for whom. I have never seen her so lost and confused. Either she is in
Mumbai, doing shopping for Nandini mainly, but along with it for herself, for her
Mumbai Mumma, for Arnav , or if she is in Pune, doing shopping for Mummy,
Akshay and herself. Her head is filled with words like ‘Bargain is a must, buy
one get three free, discount offer, latest style, this Is latest fashion.’
Mumbai shopkeepers are very smart. They offered 50% off to anyone who showed
finger to them! Yes, on parliament voting day i.e. on 17th if you
showed ‘Election Tikka’ on your finger, you get 50% or Buy one, get one free
offers!
Dhwani is also busy doing window shopping with Megha for Chinky –
Rinky wardrobe as they will be attaining wedding in Hydrabad. She is also planning dresses for Meeth's wedding. She is creative but has no sense of time, so I will be not surprised if she comes out with excellent dress at the end moment, telling, this dress is made from three old dresses and one accessory purchased now!
Muskan made Mummy to call me and scold me on account of cloths. 'Immediately go and buy some decent cloths for yourself!' This was Muskan speaking through Mummy! Well I have become expert in dodging Mummy's 'guglees', so I was saved.
It was nice to see Mummy going for shopping with Muskan! Mummy is in good form
now, after last week health scare. Her weakness was due to prolonged digestion
problem, so doctor gave her some kind of power boaster and 10 days medicine
course. All she needs to do is take care of her food selection. I am sure that
Chinky will take good care, she is bit bossy, but she means well and really
cares for Grand Mother. Rinky is very much emotionally attached and takes
decisions based on her ‘dil’ wishes. But she is more understanding and smart.
Dhwani visited Mumbai and discussed Narang wedding shooting style,
presentations, cost budget with them. There is basic conflict in perception
between 21st century working and 20th century working,
and what is amusing to see is that the age gap between two personalities is
hardly few years. Let’s see what prevails.
Aayush visited us at dinner time, and during exchange of
ideas, I suggested we should go and click Banaras for seven days! He lapped up
the idea and was ready any time I was ready. Hope he sticks to his word. So I have few vacations already planned in my
mind, just waiting for opportunity to drop by.
Week at Banaras – Gaya for Photograhpy with Aayush, or Sanket,
or Kash.
10 days Trip to Himalyas on Bullet, With Akshay – Kashyap –
Sharat - Vicky
Monsoon trip to Goa – With Chillam Chilli Party
And here are some which are at brink of my mind, trying to
take some shape.
A three night stay in a tent in a very ‘Viran’ place.
A rough and tough visit to Saputara in Madhya Pradesh
A visit to Kerala Back Waters with local guy as guide,
floating around in leisurely pace for 7 days, eating local food, taking bath in
river, snapping pictures, reading books and watching stars in night!
A action sports visit to Hrishikesh or such other place in India! Before body
starts rebelling, one must try for such activity. What ever be the consequences
of such act.
As I am finishing this addition of blog, Mummy - Chinky - Rinky reached Hydrabad safe and sound to attend Sapna’s son’s wedding!
Before I say sayonara, her is a blast from the past.
