Next Party

Our members are proving to be a restless lot. It is not even a week since we had gorged at Sab Kuchh (see post of June 11) and they are already talking of another party – the logic being that since we are done with all June and July birthdays, it would be one helluva long wait before a party comes up in August. So we might as well have what may be termed as a “club get-together” in the interim.
Razia Khan wants lunch at Blue Waters-- as in yesterday. Sitaram Hivarkar says that Kalinga is good enough. Ved Prakash Grover has identified a new restaurant close to Bombay Durbar (wherever it is). The names of some other eating joints were thrown up as everybody agreed that so long there's a diversion from everyday home-cooked food and all of us have a blast together, any place on earth should be fine.
When it was indicated that this should not burden anybody disinclined towards joining in, Razia suggested that no advance collections would be made. Whoever felt like it would land at a specified place and time and pay for his/ her own food and drinks on the spot.
Mention was also made of setting out to Lonavala to catch the monsoon there. Hari Singh Shekhawat (left) put his foot down saying that in the rains, we would inevitably find ourselves stuck indoors and the whole trip would be pointless. He however, volunteered to host a party at his place, which he says, is long overdue. He has been keeping this on hold because the approach road to his building complex was under repairs.
He promised to announce the date and time soon.
Srichand Arora asks:
When is the party time?
