My intuition is saying, soon I will be singing, ‘Dil Chata
Hai, phir wahi fursat ke raat din’
9th Mon: Akshay continues his marathon meetings.
I am glad to see Lali enjoying his ‘return to press’ days. Noble Printers has started its life with Lali giving it existence
in early years 80’s. Sanjay took over in 90's and worked as press in charge with big help from Lali, till
2007, he was followed by Avi taking charge as new blood. Avi shifted to more
lucrative and promising field of Property Market from last month.
13th Fri: Madon Dodeja has invited Dodeja Family
for get together at Lagoona Resort, Lonavala for this week end. He has booked
full resort, arranged for entertainment and satsang in late evening. He has
spend huge sum on this event. His arrangements are always excellent. We had
asked for rooms for 8 members but only three members were able to attain. Lali –
Manju – Sharat. Neha cancelled at last moment, Chinky – Rinky were supposed to
go with Avi following them for one day. I had planned one day visit on Saturday
with Mummy. Akshay is extremely busy, so much so that recently I am talking
with him more on cell then face to face. Muskan is not keeping good health.
Kash – Dhwani are in Mumbai, they were supposed to attain Amit Botadkars
wedding, but Kash was exhausted, skipped it and returned to Pune for brief
rest.
I had dropped the day trip idea as response to advertisement
for sale of 609 is unexpected. I have three site visits, which I cannot ignore.
And then in evening urgent meeting was called by 609 committee for deal with builder.
The irony of life continues. On one side I am trying to sell the plot and other
side, working on retaining the plot. Mummy was also reluctant, but she cannot
say no to constant requests from Madon. But with me running after 609 meeting,
Avi busy at Landson office, she had no one take her to Lonavala. That is why, I
keep saying, make the best of opportunities, which drop in your lap. I never
thought we will all ever be so busy and say no to fun time.
14th Sat: Valentine day. “Kuch Meetha Ho Jai”
In previous ‘Jhanma’ I was ‘Halwai’. As proof of pudding
lies in eating, so does this statement. Just eat a ‘Gulab Jhamuns’ which I make
with little help from Muskan. I have no training, no guidance, just this 'Fituer'. All forty Gulab jhamuns were gulped down and ‘wah
wah’ resounded in our home.
Inspired from me, Rinky wanted to make some exotic sweet dish. Her adopted
mother, and she sat down and planned a ‘Walnut Cake – Vanilla Ice cream –
Choclate souce – Gulab Jhamun ‘ served on a sizzling hot plate. Dhwani also
joined the gang. All five ladies, were in kitchen trying to spoil the brew. But they came out with excellent result.
Chinky and Pinky
joined us for Rinky’s creation tasting marathon. Food gulping lasted so much so that
normally I sleep around 10.15, with such tasty dish on table, we all hogged and
finished everything by 11.0, surprising Kashyap, who like Bindiya, is non food
junki in family. Akshay was for a change in recent times at home before 11.0 pm.
So he also joined us. I was jealous, for Rinky’s chocolate with Walnut cake
dish received more 'Wah Wah' then my Gujab Jhamuns!
I am thankful to Ekta kapoor for not keeping good TV program
running on Saturday evening time slot and specially to Kapil Sharma for airing Comedy
nights only on Sundays. I can keep TV switched off what a blessing.
Here are few questions for your thinking cap.
Are we spoilt by many
choices?
Does many choices make life difficult?
Is life better with little
choice?
