15th Feb 2015 – 21th Feb 2015 [Baby at Home]

Sun: It was flash back to 80’s kind of Sunday. Bathija family and / or Chandan family will join us for movie on VCR, a new entertainment activity in those days. Everyone will be scattered, some sitting straight, some lying down, some even sleeping! If movie was average, we will have more fun time. Instead of watching movie in silence, comments, wise cracks, planning for next picnic will take place. Fast forward to 2015, Kashyap showed us ‘BABY’ on TV. All 11 members were scattered, some eating, some snoozing and some watching movie earnestly, just like in 80's.
Rinky loved so much that she now insists on having at least a weekly show!

‘Akki Bhaiya, next Sunday again we will see a movie just like today.’  She remarked.

‘Today is Sunday?’ Akshay asked her. This is status of Akshay. Not aware of which day of the week it is! Thank god, he is aware of Day-Night. Well, currently I am proud to say, Akshay is working very hard, one could say, literally round the clock. And most important is that he is enjoying it every second of it. Very soon results will start coming out. Whatever the outcome, it will be life changing in big way. Mark my words.

And what is the most important lesson Akshay has learned? kashyap and myself are making wild guess.

As Kashyap said, ‘The most important lesson learned from current status is that without MONEY in pocket, one can grow and dream. You need to have ‘JUNOON’ or deep wish to succeed. Then you will hardly notice the lack of working capital, one can find out ways and means to bypass this problem. Of course, the solution will be required in time bound range.’ 

Thu: Muskan’s Aru, i.e. Arnav Nanda came down with his parents to Pune. Kunal will be joining the Landson Marketing team, so he has to come for training and Muskan was missing her nephew very much, so to please her he also joined his papa. We are being entertained by him in evening. He is very much calm, obedient for a child and ever smiling. Smiling part I can understand, but calm? Anyway, due to him, we are now watching less TV, and has not even missed Arnav Goswami shouting. A child brings a pleasing smile for no reason, this you can experience only with child around.

Question is, Heart or Mind? Which One to select? Which hold more power?

Sat: It was very dark, mid night, swiftly, I woke up from deep slumber and heard heavy vehicle being turned off. Is it Xylo? Akshay must have reached. So it must be around 1 O’clock. I visualized him getting out of car, walking to lift. Opening and closing the lift, reaching 2^nd floor. Will he Ring the bell or use his key? For few second no response. And as my drowsiness was getting replaced by worry, I heard bell ring and instantly with relief I was asleep. Akshay has reached home.

This simple few minutes experience tells us lot about the brain power or is it heart? In my sleep, how I was able to hear Xylo, how brain woke me up, and after confirmation again drifted into deep sleep. I just am amazed. And believe me, I had not thought or even considered keeping awake till Akshay reaches home or worried about him in any way. Did sub conscious mind worked its ‘jadu’ or was heart playing its trick? Please wise-person stand up and answer.

I will consider this Saturday, 21st February 2015,  as Landmark day. One needs landmarks, though one moment, one action or day is never responsible for any particular event. They are culmination of series of actions-reactions. But today 1^st Flat was sold on day one of launch. Project name, scheme etc are not to be disclosed.

22nd June 2014 – 28th June 2014 [Land Mark]

Some Black Humor…

 
कुछ  लोग  जहाँ  जाते  हैं  वहां  खुशियाँ  लाते  हैं  , कुछ  लोग  जब  जाते  हैं  तब  खुशियाँ  लाते  हैं .

जब मैं मरुँ , तो शांति से जाना चाहता हूँ , जैसे मेरे दादा जी चले गए – सोते हुए . 

ना कि उनकी कार में बैठे पैसेंजर्स की तरह चीखते –चिल्लाते .

पहले डॉक्टर ने मुझे अच्छी खबर दी : मेरे नाम पे एक बिमारी का नाम रखा जाने वाला है .

This week is a no man’s land. That is, as certain land between the borders of two countries is labeled as “NO MAN’s LAND’, this week, my institution tells me is a ‘The WEEK’. Every one’s life is marked with some landmarks. But few land marks are like ‘Partition’, a land mark for Crores of people. Or say death of Dad, a Landmark for his family. Assassination of President Kennedy was major landmark for American Society and Politics. Similarly this week is going to be a ‘Land Mark’ of sort. It is a subtle, invisible mark, on passage of time, which will bring in the changes in our family in more positive way.

My intuition reflects that this week was a period which reflected the changing times on horizon in our family.  And when I say change, I mean change in respect of finances, relationships, future living standard, shift in generations, change in moods, change in responsibilities, growth in family. When I say this, I mean each word in positive way. As this is some abstract thinking, I will not be able to present / give specific incident of this week, which will bring change. But believe me, when I put this in writing, I really have strong intuition about this. Amen. So much for high funda writing.

Meet-Aska pre shoot edit was completed and we have preview of it. This preview had voice over by Aditya [Muskan’s Jija], nice scripting and very good humored presentation. Lot of thought and planning had gone into it and Kashyap had shot this very hastily. Sana had done a nice crisp editing and overall impact was excellent. This will be played during wedding in Silvasa. Hope, there is demand of rerun for this. I would like that.

Muskan is very much tensed. This month in Xrbia is till now blank, in sale. Of course, it is EOS in market language, but zilch? No way. Still we have 48 hours, hopefully Muskan will have some reason to smile. Meanwhile, our number one tele-caller, Manisha, who received best tele-caller award is working hard and trying to protect her standing as number one caller of Xrbia!

Akshay – Anuj – Lali have gone to Shirwal to see a new project of 400 flats. This week gain was filled with numerous meetings.

Skinny Akshay with Smiling Kashyap

Mahendra Chawla, is no more Secretary of Jhulelal Mandir. A big set-back according to me. I meet him and saw 15 Kg reduced version of Mhandra. Wow! How did you achieve this? Dieting, as suggested by a professional. Lets hope Akshay follows his foot steps. I also need to reduce, but before that I need to develop my will power. I cannot say no to Methia, or Ice creams. Akshay has no such craving, and has strong will power.Lets see how much Justis he can do to above picture.
