Samvat 2068

Yusuf Rassiwala walked in to a rousing welcome this morning. As one who enjoys immense popularity among members and is counted among the founders of the Club, he had become a cause for speculation and much concern since his disappearance a couple of months back. Today, looking bright and cheerful in a scarlet T-shirt and matching baseball cap, he did not miss the significance of the Nazia Hassan number playing on Kishor Babani’s mobile: “Aap jaisa koi, meri zindagi mein aaye…
Grinning sheepishly, he shook hands with everyone and resolved to be “more regular” at the Garden from today onwards. It was indeed a happy start to Year-2068 (by the Vikram Samvat calendar), what with Vandana adding a dash of sweetness by distributing kaju katlis soon after the exercises.
In a couple of days, we shall be witnessing another ‘homecoming’ of a Club veteran. Shekhawat today announced that Srichand Arora is expected from Singapore tomorrow afternoon (see comments of October 25) and in all likelihood, he will be present at the Garden on Saturday morning. He also conveyed Mr and Mrs Arora’s good wishes to members on the occasion of Diwali and the New Year.
Dilip Babani:
Good to see Yusuf-bhai in the blog. Also nice to know that Arora is coming. Now the Laughing Club will get its extra charm. Yusuf-bhai and Arora are both indispensable people for our Club.
Happy New Year to all the Club members. Saturday will be a special day. I think everybody will enjoy the Diwali party at Blue Waters. Delicious food will be served. Hope all members will come. We will play antakshari or danteras. Harish is likely to also come and it will be a yadgar party. Really, I am excited. More the members, more the fun!
