Like little school-going kids, members of the Club seem to be increasingly struck by the early morning blues every Monday. Today was no exception. Ever since Sunday was declared an “unofficial holiday”, we have been witnessing a marked drop in attendance and a large number of late arrivals the next morning. The break in daily routine (in order to give the body its weekly rest), coupled with late nights in almost every home on Sunday, inevitably leads to lethargy that is hard to overcome on Monday.
Besides, yesterday was Independence Day. Many had gone to Garden No 2 to celebrate and were treated to snacks and refreshment. According to Hari-bhai, there was better fare on offer, including live entertainment at the Celebration Club across the road. Obviously, he had gone to both the places and came out feeling doubly patriotic from the experience! And still, he was able to summon the vigour and zeal to be up and moving this morning.
Shekhawat however, could not make it because of a running tummy. “Loose motion ho gaya,” he complained when Arora called him at his home. “Chaar baar ho aaya hoon subah se.”
“Kachra-patti kha liya hoga,” Motwani deduced while Arora relayed Shekhawat’s plight on the cell-phone.
But Arora was not one to let go easily: “Suna hai aap kal chaar-paanch ladkiyon ke peecha kar rahe thhey.” Pausing, he added: “Main nahin bol raha hoo, Bose ne dekha aapko.”
Before the conversation could move any further, Tara Chand (in pic)took the phone to wish Shekhawat well and also record his presence in the Club. Yes, Tara Chand is back from Delhi after a three-and-half month hiatus. He had to do up his house there and attend a wedding in the family.
Ram Shankar Shukla is also back from a holiday. Last seen, he had his trousers in a twist over an umbrella at the Kalyan Village Resort on June 20.

Firstly, the picture of the group looks great! I pity Mr Shekawat regarding his 'running tummy'. I do hope he gets well soon, 'cos the group is no fun without him around. He has his own ways of making the exercise enjoyable.
By the way, the important news is that the clean-up of the Garden has begun and that is good.

Since the last two days, our most dear Shekhawat was not there because of a wrong pressure. But today (17/8) he has appeared and all of us are very happy to see him back. God bless him.
