‘Silent Worker’

A jubilant Dilip Babani (in red tee) shares his honour with colleagues
After being singled out for honorable mention for the third consecutive day, Dilip Babani was felicitated today for being a ‘silent worker’ at the Annual Day function last Saturday (ref post of January 20). He received a bouquet from Yusuf Rassiwala's hands and promptly posed with colleagues for a photo op. “Everybody contributed in equal measure towards the success
Little Salafa (Fahmida Khan's grand-
daughter) celebrates her 10th birthday
of the programme,’ he said with great magnanimity.
The impromptu celebration was the brainchild of Karun Sharma who had brought the bouquet, much to everyone’s surprise. But after the brief presentation ceremony, the bouquet changed many hands till Banoo Apa had to retrieve it and hand over the well-deserved reward to Dilip’s wife, Kajal Babani to be taken home.
Meanwhile, preparations are on for the Republic Day celebrations tomorrow. Like every year we shall have a ceremonial march-past with the national tricolor round the walking track of the Garden, followed by light refreshments. Shekhawat appealed to all members to be present on the occasion.

Kiran Prakash:
Today's blog post makes interesting reading. It is high time we realise the importance of not only every individual in the Club but also our choreographer Nadira and beautician Reena who too have contributed to the the success of the programme. I request all to stop this business of praising and counter-praising and instead, look forward to doing something more meaningful for the Club. Our continued teamwork is more important than singling out persons for praise, whether it's me or anybody else. Let's all focus on the future. This is just the beginning. Let's all apply our minds and think of what innovations we can initiate for our Club and senior citizens at large.

Bihari Milwani:
Why are so many members fighting for one bouquet? Everyone deserves a separate bouquet.

Karun Sharma:
I am happy to see playful smiles on everyone. Tomorrow is Republic Day. I wish Col Angad Singh was here with us also.

Lt Col Angad Singh (retd):
We keep on finding an excuse to celebrate happiness. Let us continue to be happy.

Our continued team work is more important than singling out persons to praise whether it's me or anybody else. Out of all the active persons can we single out even one person without whom the function would have been equally good.

Let's all focus on future. This is just the beginning. We are in the process of creating a name for ourselves. Let's all apply our mind and and think what innovative we can do for our club and senior citizens at large. Once again thanks to one and all for our sincere effort in making the programme a huge success.

I am happy to see playful smiles on every one. This is true celebration and vital energy generating step in our journey for achievement. Tomorrow if Republic Day and I wish if Col. Angad Singh was here on 26th also, we could have company of one more ex-army man to celebrate this festival more enthusiastically by honoring him. Yesterday I delivered first ZED awareness session in a hotel at Dadar. It was followed by a clarion call from PM on 15th August, 2014 to manufacture products with zero defect and product that has zero adverse effect on environment.
