Limping Back to Normalcy


The Club is slowly limping back to normalcy. The laughter round was resumed for the first time since Mrs Sharma’s untimely demise last Thursday. Still, a majority of our regulars (including Yusuf-bhai, Monthi, Razia Khan, Geeta and Ramila Mistry) stayed away. Today was Bhaswati’s birthday, but nobody was in a mood to celebrate. We just wished her well, before dispersing for the day.
The baithak organized by the Sharma family at the Garden last evening came in for high praise. It was a sombre ceremony, marked by grace and dignity, befitting the lady in whose memory it was held. The Club was present in full strength. All members got the opportunity to pay their last respects by way of floral tributes to a framed photograph of Mrs Sharma, while live devotional music played in the background. It was soothing to the ear, stimulating to the senses and touching to the heart.
Arora-ji’s health (see pic) has become a cause for concern as one hears of his BP having shot to an incredible 310 mmHg yesterday. He needs to de-stress completely.
