Party Postponed

The Eid party slated for Sunday, September 23 (tomorrow) has been pushed to Wednesday, September 26. The timing remains the same, 1:00 p.m. But the location would now be Masala Mantra – the popular Punjabi restaurant at the road junction close to Versova Telephone Exchange.
Making the announcement this morning (side pic), Razia Khan said that plans had to be altered in order to ensure the largest possible participation of members at this special lunch hosted jointly by our Muslim colleagues. Evidently, Sunday did not “suit” some members. Moreover, the restaurant selected is reputed for its delectable and varied vegetarian and non-vegetarian fare, besides of course, excellent service.
Shekhawat had one niggling doubt though: whether drinks would also be served at the restaurant. Razia assured him that there would be ‘welcome drinks’ (comprising Coke, sherbet, jal-jeera, etc.) for all, but should anyone require ‘something special’, s/he would have to pay for it individually. Moreover, should a member want to bring a guest along, a cover charge of Rs500 would have to be paid separately.
Meanwhile, Santosh Tyagi has very graciously offered a treat to a screening of the movie, Heroine, released yesterday. This is actually her son’s idea. Manoj Tyagi (left pic) happens to have scripted this film and regardless of what others might have to say about it, he is keen to know the opinion of his mother’s friends. Thing is, the ladies were anyway planning to watch the movie on their own, as they usually do in a group. Still, it was heartwarming for the offer to come from a deservedly proud mother.
Harish Wadhwa:
Waise to Santosh-ji aur baki sab mahilayein Heroine se kam nahin, par aap phir bhi agar special screening karvaa rahe hon, to sare 'Hero' bhi picture ka anand le sakenge. Manoj-ji may your movie rock and be a blockbuster. Best of Luck!
