Censored

Rukhsana's sweets from Surat 

Mallika Kagzi's refreshing tea

A black day. For once, a need has arisen to exercise restraint on our daily reportage because of a rather unfortunate development today. The reasons are known to all present in the Garden this morning. But propriety demands that the blog does not join issue, even indirectly. The matter is much too delicate and sub-judice. So for the first time in five years, we shall apply self-censorship for the day. Just suffice to say that the Housie programme scheduled for the morning was cancelled. Instead, we savored the sweets Rukhsana Khan had brought from Surat and more than anything else, devoured Mallika Kagzi’s famous lip-smacking snacks of boiled potatoes, washed down by hot tea. In certain matters we ensure that the show must go on – as Razia Khan kept mentioning all morning!

Self-censorship, akin to self-control, is a pre-requisite for growth and development.
