Belated Celebration

Christmas arrived at the Garden one day late. Monthi Serrao (left) eventually showed up this morning, loaded with goodies to make up for all that we were missing because of her absence. In keeping with the spirit of giving, she distributed the cakes and chocolates among strangers also, including three little urchins who stood diffidently, watching the celebration from a distance. It was occasion also for everybody to wish her ‘Merry Christmas’ in person – though belatedly.
Even otherwise, the festive cheer overflowed with Hari Singh Shekhawat proudly informing that his son, Raghuvir had bagged yet another prestigious TV award for scripting Balika Badhu. Tara Chand Seth and Bapu Rane were equally upbeat with their nonsensical remarks and comments. If the latter was out to distract Yusuf Rassiwala (who was conducting the exercises) the former kept prompting him on certain basics when not required to. He even tried to put the fear of Arora in Yusuf when he once strayed away from the routine, much to everybody’s amusement. Again, when Rane raised a solo laugh out of turn, Yusuf had to shut him up with an abrupt “Choop!”
Just goes to show that the older we are, the more childish we become.
Renu Babani's PICSPEAK:
"Looks like everyone liked the cake I brought. See the tray is almost empty..."
Yesss, this feels like a X'mas celebration, now that we got some goodies!
Harish Wadhwa:
The cake was yummy and so was the presentation. Thanks, Monthi-ji. Can we have home-made cakes like this, in the name of Christmas, every month? [Greeeeed!]
