| Crouching Lions and Feline Females |
Razia Khan declared that there was absolutely no need for female members to compete with their male counterparts in growling their lungs out like demented lions. “We ought to be different,” she proposed.

Instantly the character of the group changed. Against the sonorous rumble of male vocal chords, strange female sounds could be heard: one of a meowing billi, another of a purrring billi, a third of an angry billi, a fourth of a pesky billi, yet another of a silly billi… From Razia to Bhaswati Bose to Khatoon Baig to Qadeer Bano, the ladies were in full flow!
Shekhawat got so excited by this spectacle that he went charging, arms outstretched, at the ladies, but suddenly stopped short. “Arrey, they are sounding like real billis,” he said, eyes twinkling unbelievingly.

| Zarina Khan gets into a playful spat with Arun Patil (in striped tee) |
Seated on a bench at a distance, Kiran Prakash watched with equal amusement. He had resumed his Garden routine today (after a brief interregnum) but did not join the exercises. A bout of viral fever had sapped his energy, such that he looked a shadow of his former self. Some said he looked slim and trim like a teenager – but not in a good way. Clearly, it will take him some time to recuperate.
Meanwhile, with talk of renewal of club membership now in the air, Zarina Khan came up with a classic quip. “Why should I pay full subscription fees?” she asked Shekhawat. “This Arun Patil has been making life miserable for me. And you want me to pay and listen to his nonsense every morning? Rather, he should be made to pay for me!”
Minutes later, Zarina was seen hobnobbing with Arun Patil over a personal issue.
Lt Col Angad Singh (retd):
Change is a law of nature. So it was for Big Laaf to make lion and cat calls instead of lion and lioness calls. After all, cat is the auntie of lion. She has not taught him all the tricks. She has quite a few tricks up her sleeve. Keep laughing and enjoying. This universal law of life should be followed religiously.
Karun Sharma:
Democracy and Discipline need to be balanced in Big Laaf. The tai chi exercise being restricted to standing persons only is a good initiative and is largely accepted. It was also a good initiative for ladies to meow like cats, but the basic purpose of energizing the throat would not be achieved in the long-term. Incidentally, Angad Sir has written a personal mail to me saying that he was feeling weak and tired. He conveys his blessings to the Gupta family as well as his sympathies for the tragedy that shook everyone in Big Laaf. He asked me to get checked as he saw the blog after some days.

Democracy and Discipline in Big Laaf Family need to be balanced building some norms. Tai Chi exercise only for standing persons is one such initiative that is good and accepted largely. It was a good initiative for ladies to meow like cat but basic purpose of energizing throat veins would not be good in long-term.
