Brrrrr… It's Cold

Were it not for the build-up over this weekend’s picnic, we’d have ended with ‘frozen brains’ today. In what felt like the coldest morning of the season, everything (and everybody) happened to be going haywire from the very start.
Razia Khan had to rein in the men as they went off ‘Ho-Ho Ha-Ha’ out of turn – before the exercises even began. Shekhawat grumbled that his wife had packed his woolens while it is still winter. Nafisa Sayed looked an Eskimo with shawl wrapped tightly around her head and kept needling Hari Naraiyani for his “khatarnaak” antics.
But that was not to deter the elderly gent from demonstrating how nimble-footed he can be in the biting cold and live up to the legend on his bottle-green T-shirt, ‘Roll and Rock’.
Even a strict disciplinarian like Srichand Arora (left, sitting) got drawn into the madness and unwittingly regaled everybody with his witticisms and pranks. At the end of the exercises, not one person in the group could count straight during the 108-claps!
Probably something about the freezing weather gets the body to draw upon its energy reserves and forces people to indulge in such mindless behaviour. Of course, there were some who insisted that the weather was “very pleasant” and stood around grinning in shorts and T-shirts. But that is madness of another kind!
Renu Babani's PICSPEAK:
* "FFFFFFreezing... Is anyone willing to buy us a hot cuppa?"
* "Our blessings are with you always! Who's that lion amongst us?"
Harish Wadhwa:
* Arora-ji was feeling so cold that he had to be brought under the warmth of a human hut and hands-roof!
* Hari Naraiyani-ji was seen at his jolly best today -- dancing, clapping, singing, having fun and rejoicing... And why not! Life is supposed to be enjoyed like this, is'nt it?
* Winter does'nt seem to be affecting some half-pants' waley and that too with open ventilators! God, some people are gifted with great immune system or wonder if this is some kind of yoga?
* Manori fever also seems to be catching up. Have fun guys!
* It seems we will be enjoying kanji soon. Akhir, Santosh-ji ka janam-din aa raha hai bhai! Gajar bhi hai, chukandar bhi aur khas-khas bhi bahut hai bazaar mein. Santosh-ji, we are looking forward to you turning 18 yet again day-after-tommorrow. Blog Monster, please repeat her 16-saal-wali pic on her birthday.
Harish Wadhwa adds:
* Renu-ji, who will not like to take the good lady out for a hot cuppa? The condition is that Kishor-da shouldn't accompany. After all, we don't want a kabab mein haddi. Yes, he's free to join us for paying the bill (on a light vein please).
* There are only lionesses in the group, no lions. Ask their better halfs.
