Wed: Akshay is being drawn to Mumbai like magnate draws
iron. It is fate only. For last 2 months he is doing up-down on daily basis. He
and his company are spending big money on diesel and toll taxes. After two
months daily commuting, they zeroed on a and rented flat in Mahim. It is on 10th
floor, east-west open, in center of town, a brand new building with latest
facilities. They keep meetings in Parel their office is in Parel, so local traveling is nil. And rent is just 22k!
Akshay says he will never shift to Mumbai, but will fate play
its role and shift him back to Mumbai, I hope not?
He is getting in good books of Rohit Podar, a very big
Industrialist whose only job is to appoint proper executive for his numerous
projects. And if he wants someone for project, he gives very lucrative offer, and for him honesty,
loyalty and hard work are main qualities. So what will happen if his offers is very
attractive option for Akshay? It will be very tough decision to make for him. And
yes all this depends on result of current project.
Sun: Godh Bharia Day:
We call it “Godh Bharia” and westerners call it “Baby
Showers”
For last several months, my fingers were itching to announce
this happy news, Dhwani – Kashyap are soon going to be proud parents of ‘Chutki’.
But I follow the tradition and on Godh Bharia I announce this news to the
world.
Last week was very hectic and busy. Muskan – Dhwani were
busy making arrangements for this day. Avi- Dhwani finally selected ‘Indian
Aroma’ near Lal Deval after rejecting RK, Sacred heart Town, Parmar Park,
Atlantis etc. They fixed very elaborated menu for Lunch. All our guests were coming
from Mumbai. Bindiya’s sisters, her brother, Dhwani’s family, Muskan’s family. Kosha
and her family, Bhabhi – Prakash – Tina - Vishal, Pinky – Pashu and Party all came on Saturday,
some stayed in B-7, some at Raheja Garden and some in O Hotel. Mona and Shobha
were in Khandala! Thus Saturday evening created this happy, celebration atmosphere.
Sunday program started dot on time at 12.05 as planned.
Deepka Maharaj was in mood and did full ceremony in systematic way with lot of
interest. By the time this Pooja [more like marriage] got over, all guest were in attendance. Lot of
‘Oil’ was applied on the happy couple. Tarula, Dhwani’s mother then took over
and did Katchi style ‘Godh Bharai’. All in all this mixture of cultures made
the occasion look really like diversified India. I had asked Muskan to wear
paranda with Punjabi dress, but she is only comfortable in Jeans or Salwar
Kamiz. Muskan’s mother somewhat made the feeling of Punjabi’s being around more
real. LP [Kosha’s husband, Sikh by birth] himself says that he is pure Mumbai
Boy. He has no connect with Punjab or Punjabi culture!
Kosha with help of her family members, Avi, Akshay, Sharat
and Palakh decorated the venue. All Dodeja kid’s childhood pictures were printed
on A4 and displayed. This idea was appreciated for its freshness. Then Kashyap
has arranged his staff for shooting of interviews about the baby. This kept the
group of guest busy at entrance, where Sana was shooting interviews.
This high point of the day was few games organized by Dhwani
and Muskan. Pinky Narang who is event manager in her professional life, took
over the stage and conducted games. Mona was captain from Chawla group, Neha
was from Dodeja’s, Simi was from Shah’s, Muskan was representing Nandas. We
made them sing nursery rhythms, then Lullabies’ and few songs in Sindhi – Punjabi
– Katchi – Hindi. The house was brought down by laughter and loud screams when
four captains selected four adults and did their makeup.
