Quick Recap

Yup, the blog is back. RENU BABANI has, very helpfully, provided a recap of all that transpired during the past three days at the Garden:
Friday, 18/11
Today was full of activity. Santosh Tyagi returned from her Delhi trip and distributed rewri among members. Everyone teased her for looking so young and radiant. Eventually she couldn't take it any more and said she was not Santosh, but “Santosh's sister”! Everyone laughed and teased her more.
Shekhawat informed that he'd be catching the morning flight tomorrow to attend another wedding at his hometown and be back by the 24th.
Geeta Sardhana (below, right) arrived with a wedding invitation in hand. She read out the scroll to all present. Her daughter is getting married on December 18, at the ISKCON temple in Juhu.
Yes, we did miss the Boses, who are regulars. They have left for Delhi and am sure will have a great time. Here's wishing them a blast and safe trip back home.
Saturday, 19/11
Despite being a Saturday, the turnout was good. Neelam Garg turned up surprisingly. There were initially just three regular gentlemen, who shifted from their regular seating area when it was 7 a.m. and sat down on the bench where the exercises would begin. They looked around lost until Sunita Jajodia came towards them and said in her usual booming voice, “Chalo, utho!” They stood up, laughing non-stop and by the time the Ram Ram Bol was done, there were the regulars – Srichand Arora, Razia Khan and Nahid Khan.
Monthi Serrao asked Bapu Rane why he never wished her and someone said that he was shy. I wonder?
Although part of the Badmaash Company went for tea (joined by the ladies), it was different as the Boses were not present. Everyone misses them – especially Mr Bose's cheerful face early morning. Yes, despite "Madam Baatuni" not being around, the chatter didn't stop, making Nahid Khan say in exasperation that from now on, she will bring a danda. A wisecrack commented that even that will be broken by someone!
Monday, 21/11
The Monday Morning Blues got everybody today. There were just three males and two females who started the Laughter Round. Slowly, the members began arriving and things got back to normal.
Initially everyone followed Srichand Arora rather quietly, till the Lene-Dene number. The target this time was Renu Babani. Arora felt that her actions seemed to indicate that she was shooing away her hubby, Kishor Babani!
Nafisa Syed (left) returned from Lucknow with a box of pedas, which were relished by members. The last one to arrive was Sitaram Hivarkar. I guess it has become routine for members to arrive at leisure and the rest have now got used to it.
The Boses should be back from Delhi today and hopefully, shall be seen at the Garden tomorrow.
Kishor Babani:
Welcome home, Blog Monster! Where are the pictures of our Shah Rukh Khan and his heroine, Sushmita Sen from their Delhi trip? Ho! Ho!! Ho!!!
