What Next?

On a loose end?

Nature abhors a vacuum. So does Big Laaf. It therefore comes as no surprise that everybody should have one question uppermost in their minds today: What next?
A week has elapsed since the Annual Day function on January 20 (see post) and apparently nothing has been lined up after that grand show. After all, we desperately need to have something ticking all the time to be in a state of perennial high.
Banoo Apa suggested we troop into the nearest cineplex for the latest Bhansali costume drama, Padmaavat. But in view of the ongoing controversies and law and order situation surrounding the movie, the plans had to be dropped. Hopefully, things should stabilize next week for the plans to be revived, if at all.
There has also been a long-standing demand from a section of the Club for a day picnic. We’ve had no such outing for the whole of 2017. This is rather extraordinary considering that we used to set out for at least two picnics in a year from the Club. And since most of the picnic spots in and around Mumbai have already been covered, we are now left with little option – unless of course, we want to repeat some holiday resort.
Meanwhile, Shekhawat announced that he is organizing a video screening of the Annual Day programme at his place tomorrow (Sunday) at 4:30 pm. The screening will be accompanied by high tea.

Karun Sharma:
Yes, the high we just went through has to be sustained. Big Laaf members need to laugh in a big way. Let us continue having events to keep ourselves floating. A picnic, even if it takes in one night, would refresh and rejuvenate us.

Lt Col Angad Singh (retd):
Sunday evening would be another occasion for enjoyment. I have missed it by a whisker. I have had to leave (for Dubai) as the flight tickets were already booked. I shall miss the celebration!
