She IS Sunita!

The 'mystery lady' in last Sunday’s post was not Monthi Serrao. She was not Geeta Sardana either. Neither was she Kiran Arora, nor Nafisa Sayyad… But yes, Renu Babani had to get it right this time. The lady was none other than her good friend, SUNITA JAJODIA (below right)!
In fact, today was a day of double-celebration for Renu. Not only did she walk away with the Pehchan Kaun prize (left), she celebrated her birthday today in the Chinese Hut along with three other April-borns (below, left) – Hari Singh Shekhawat, Neelam Garg and Nahid Khan (from the yoga group).
What’s more, she had Prakash, her son (who has come over from Canada) by her side to share her happiness.
However, for the record, Renu was not alone at ‘recognizing’ Sunita from her wedding picture taken more than 30 years ago. There were six others who had also got it right: Srichand Arora, Geeta Sardana, Kajal Babani, Sushma Gupta, Harish Wadhwa and Neelam Garg. But in all fairness, the winner had to be decided by a draw of lots.
Some members appeared disappointed, claiming to have “worked really hard” at putting a name to the photo. Geeta looked particularly dejected, since she is an ace at identifying people and had won this competition twice in the past. Harish too had never got it wrong, thus giving rise to the joke that he’s really a cop in disguise – more appropriately, a detective. Nobody can fool his eyes. Ditto for Arora. The oddest part is that Renu, who has always been off-mark and could never get it right in the past, was miraculously spot-on this time.
With today’s results, the fifth edition of Pehchan Kaun comes to a close. We started with Yusuf Rassiwala on December 12, 2010 and since then Khatoon Baig, Srichand Arora, Santosh Tyagi and now, Sunita Jajodia have been featured. Let’s see who's next in line.
Harish Wadhwa:
It was a fun-filled morning for one and all. Gossips, quizzes, prizes, celebrations, birthdays, gifts, khana-peena, exercises, photo-shoots, jokes, satires, open interaction between Big Laaf and yoga members, young and middle aged, seniors and ultra seniors, pony-tailed Prakash blushing, some young and old people dressed neatly just for the occasion... all packed in a morning. Wow! Where else would you find such a group? Long live the members and the Club!
Renu Babani's PICSPEAK:
* "Yaay! I finally managed not only in succeeding in guessing the lady in the picture, but also getting the prize!"
* "Can you believe that young lady was me..."
* "Celebration time for the four of us!"
Bhaswati Bose:
CONGRATULATIONS Renu! And many happy returns of the day. This must have been your best birthday in some time!!!
