Uneventful day. Attendance was low, following last night’s intermittent showers and heavy water-logging at some of the approach roads to the Garden. Razia, Nafisa, Geeta, Mumtaz and several other regulars were conspicuous by their absence. The men, in any case, have ceased to matter as they are outnumbered by women.
Shekhawat (see pic)made it, even as he had his appointment for a health check-up at Colaba this morning. He announced Arora’s return from Singapore this Sunday, much to everybody’s surprise and concern. Is it an emergency? Wasn’t he supposed to return on the first week of August? What has made him curtail his vacation and rush back almost a month in advance? Is his health okay?
Many even doubted whether Shekhawat had got his facts correct after what had happened yesterday over the mysterious dog-biting incident. “Maine kabhi koi galat information diya hai, kya?” he asked in mock seriousness. We all nodded, giving him a knowing smile. That was the trigger for the leg-pulling that followed with everybody joining in the merriment and laughter. It was sheer entertainment without tax.
Very good, Very good, Hey!
