Thu: Chinky was very sensibly roped in by Muskan into Noble
Group. She is skipping college, is hooked to books and computers in big way. She
does not have any close friend. We keep her pushing to go out and play with
friends, but she prefers cozy corner in her room and keeps reading. Muskan came out with this idea of making her
one of tele callers. This 2 hour activity will free her from her inhibitions
for social contacts and at the same time, make her productive. And above all,
divert her mind from Books and Computers for some time. This is one more proof
that Muskan is very intelligent and caring person. Way to go.
Fri: We were watching Big Boss when Akshay knocked. He was fully
drenched, even after having rain coat and helmet as protection and December being
winter season. Akshay said, he has never being beaten hard with water before,
as tonight. For last two days, evening’s are very cloudy and warm. So as a
precaution, he took rain coat to Shivajinagar meeting. It had drizzled a bit,
yesterday in Wanwadi. When he started for Wanwadi from Shivajinagar, it started
raining. However, as he reached command hospital, the rains lashed him
mercilessly as if beating him. And surprise of all, the next stretch from mess
turning to Sacred Heart, it was totally dry! Next day, paper said, 50 mm rains
were highest for December 2014 after 1942 December rains. Wow.
Sat: Bindiya’s three sisters, Mona – Meena – Shobha visited
Sacred Heart, along with Nikhil. I had a meeting at Vashi, so I just made a
flying visit, said hello and rushed to Vashi. Shobha has come down from USA and
will be here for month or so.
Kashyap and Dhwani also returned fro Jamnagar
wedding. It was a very posh, flashy and beautiful wedding. Dhwani has regained
her weight, whereas Kashyap has lost some. Nowadays he is moving around as if
lot of responsibility has being put on his shoulders.
Dada Karamchand, Dad’s uncle was very social person. He
never failed to participate in every wedding for which he received invitation. He
would pick up a card lying on his table and say, ‘We have to visit wedding in
Sun and Sand, let’s start early. ’ He will never look for excuse, saying it is so far in other corner of city, my driver has not come or today being weekend, traffic will be heavy. Even in 70's he will drive his car himself and attend. In short, he was very punctual and regular.
But, I am not doing justice to his memory. I have 3 cards
for 12th – 14th 15th and I have not planned
even one wedding attendance. Except for one wedding, I have no excuse for not
attaining the weddings, which will take just hour or so of my time.
This year, all the resolutions made have yet to see the completion certificate. So sad. Keeping this experience in mind, I would request someone else to come
out with unique resolutions to make, maybe his.her wish will be fulfilled.
