Good Cheer

Another happy morning – neither sunny, nor cloudy. Occasional gusts of wind provided much-needed relief from the stuffiness of a muggy night indoors. As it turns out these days, the pleasant weather conditions are proving to be an important factor in not only boosting attendance, but also infusing a degree of positivity in those who show up for the exercises at the Garden.
Today, it was Nahid Khan’s turn to give us a surprise -- with luddoos. Yes, it was her birthday. Srichand Arora cheekily asked how many summers she had seen while Renu Babani (in one of her rare appearances) almost made away with a luddoo box. Good sense prevailed on both as we gathered to wish Nahid a happy birthday, long life, good health and the blessings of the Almighty.
Significantly, Harish Wadhwa (left) will have no reason to complain this time. He got his share of luddoo today!

Harish Wadhwa says:
Yes, I had my rightful share of the lovely laddoos. That is one reason I do not like "big" celebrations. Happiness and celebration should come in small installments, but frequently: A laddoo a day, keeps Harish happy and cheerful throughout the day (Wah wah!).
