Loose Ends

Santosh Tyagi (in pic) dropped by on the way back from her yoga classes – only to be greeted with an intimidating “declaration form” (see yesterday’s post) for the Kashmir trip. She became the first member to put her signature on the document. Seeing her, all others like Khatoon Baig, Nahid Khan, Srichand Arora and Hari Singh Shekhawat followed suit. With this necessary formality, the process of tying up loose ends for the September trip has begun.
This was the only highlight on an otherwise muggy morning, marked by a general sense of listlessness and fatigue. Yet strangely, the ladies managed to derive abundant joy and entertainment, much to the amazement of all men. The wisecrack of the day came from (wonder of wonders) Monthi Serrao when Arora wondered aloud how she and her friends manage to keep their conversation uninterrupted even while performing a difficult task like rolling their necks. Pat came her repartee: “Hum thodi na gurdun se baat kartey hain!”
Moments like this make the mornings memorable and exercising, worth our while.
