Sun: I had bet with Kashyap that if ‘Chutki is born, you
will shave your beard and mustache for one year, if Kabira comes, I will shave
mine, but once only.’ I lost. It took me 15 days to prepare myself and fulfill
my word.
For the first time I had shaved my mustache was in 14th
May – 1992 in Badrinath, just for fun. We wanted to see, how much I resembled
Avi. The on 4th June 2000, I got mustached shaved as per tradition
on Daddy’s death. Rinky was thoroughly enjoying the process and clicked many
pictures. Muskan was not able to hold her laughter and continued laughing till
everyone was doing the same. Only one who was not laughing was Kabira, the
person responsible for this situation.
And after this clean shave, this is what some have to say.
Chinky “ You look more like mummy.”
Avi “You look like Moti Uncle.”
Akshay “You look ten years older.”
Kashyap “You look like Manu uncle.”
Enjoying the first rains, for the first time in 510 Ash Court, for the first time with Kashyaps first born, Mummy's first great grand son.
Finally, Rain have arrived in Pune. Our terrace received
good amount of rain, and to everyone’s surprise, Akshay blocked the drainage
and accumulated enough water to splash around. For us to get wet during monsoon
is to stand under a waterfall in some pleasant secluded location around Pune
during peak time of season. This time practically we were getting drenched in
first shower of season!
