False Alarm

In anticipation of the rains, we started the exercises today in the Chinese Hut. After all, it had been drizzling all through yesterday and there were droplets in the air this morning. Dark clouds hung over the Garden. At 7.00 a.m., it looked as though the heavens would open up any moment.
But as it turned out, this was all a false alarm. For soon after the laughter round, we had to vacate the vapid confines of the Chinese Hut and continue with the exercises out in the open. The clouds had cleared away by then and the sun was out. All signs of a thundershower were gone.
This will soon become a routine as the monsoon sets in. We would have to continually shift in and out of the Chinese Hut depending upon when it begins to pour. Not that we are complaining. In fact, we count ourselves privileged to have the option of exercising indoor or outdoor, come rain or sunshine, right round the year – all thanks to the Chinese Hut. How many clubs can claim this luxury?
Harish Wadhwa:
Blog Monster, the correct word for either using the Chinese Hut or the Garden is "encroachment" (zabardasti jagah hathiyana"). But thanks to the people there who are as considerate as we are to them.
