No Show

Mallika's keema-pao party: Too much for too few
The eagerly awaited showdown between Hari Singh Shekhawat and Bijoy Gupta (ref yesterday’s post) did not take place today. The bus from Mahabaleshwar had reportedly returned late last evening, around 9:00 pm. Like others on the trip, Shekhawat was obviously much too tired to stir out in the morning and gave the Garden a go by.
Gupta was nevertheless there itching for a fight, even as he had an appointment to keep at VT Station at 10:00 a.m. He hung around for a while – even participated in the first laughter round – and then, upon seeing no sign of Shekhawat, went away disappointed. Ultimately, Razia Khan led the rail gaadi round with just Jagmohan Papneja, Dilip Babani and Mumtaz Jahan behind.
The diminished turnout today created a problem of a different kind for Mallika Kagzi. She wanted to host a reception of sorts for the Mahabaleshwar group and expecting a full house, she had laid out a full spread -- mutton keema, potato curry, pao and tea for 40 people. Not one to take back anything, she got the 15-odd present this morning to consume the whole lot. Breakfast, lunch and dinner for the day were done at one shot.
Bihari Milwani:
Lions never eat fresh food. Tomorrow they will have the stale food of Mallika and then the fierce fight between two lions will be worth watching!
Lt Col Angad Singh (retd):
Mallika Kagzi is a good hostess. She tries to find an occasion she could celebrate. This is a welcome sign of love. The tea parties of Mallika are always sumptuous and appreciated by all the members.

Howdy! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which
blog platform are you using for this site? I'm getting sick and tired of
Wordpress because I've had problems with hackers and I'm looking
at options for another platform. I would be fantastic if
you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
