Tickety-Boo

There are days when the morning comes and goes without anybody realizing it. The exercises start on the dot, progresses on schedule and ends with the customary prayers facing the rising sun. Everything goes tickety-boo. No untoward incident, nothing to celebrate, nothing to write home about.
Today was one such day.
Hari Singh Shekhawat came in all suited-booted to start the exercises and disappeared 15 minutes later for his appointment with the military hospital at Colaba. Razia Khan, who dropped by to distribute bottles of honey yesterday, did not show up today. Nahid Khan, as usual, did ‘double-duty’ – conducting both the Laughter and Exercise rounds. And as always, Kishor Babani (left) wrapped up the day’s proceedings with a battery of scintillating jokes, which only he knows how to narrate.
Everything was tickety-boo.

Renu Babani:
Guess, it was a normal day. The discussion amongst the ladies was the notice which was put up yesterday in regards to the Garden being closed effective 8-10. It was not there this morning. Shall see what happens when I go to the Garden this evening.
We should be grateful to Nahid Khan for being prompt on a daily basis. Where are the other members who also conduct the laughter and exercise sessions? Everyone seems to have disappeared for quite a while now. To all those absent, time to get back to the routine. Besides you are being missed!
Harish Wadhwa:
There may not have been untoward incidents, but for sure, there were some nice moments:
a) Bhaswati-ji joined the Badmaash Company. Thanks Ma'am.
b) Renu-ji refused to join the Badmaash Company. Maybe, we need some more buttering to make her believe that we are not such bad people after all!
c) Kishor-da generously gave away salted ribbon biscuits to us (yummy!) including the dogs who stood wagging their tails as we were enjoying our chai.
d) Bhatt-sa'ab wants to celebrate his birthday this month and enquired for a good day to do it.
e) Chatterboxes could chatter some more to make their mornings normal.
f) Sources tell us that Razia-ji decided to enjoy shahad (honey) herself at breakfast and so could not make it to the Garden and that she will be back with more goodies soon... (greed!)

To all those absent, time to get back to their routine at the garden each morning, besides you are being missed!!!
