Time to Relocate

It’s time to relocate from the corner where we exercise every morning in the Garden. By 7:30 a.m., the place becomes so hot and sunny that the last 20-odd minutes is an ordeal for everybody. The ladies are particularly inconvenienced in the absence of any shade in their half of the circle. So from tomorrow, we would be moving to another part of the Garden where the sun is not as harsh and we should be able to complete our exercises in relative comfort.
The place identified by Shekhawat-ji is at the far end of our quadrangle, near the cemented platform where some stragglers hold their daily durbar. The only problem with this location is that there is also a public toilet close by. As some members pointed out, should the breeze take a “wrong direction”, it would be hell standing there even for a minute. But then, our options are limited.
Meanwhile, concern is mounting over Hari Naraiyani (left) who has stopped coming for the past two months. Last heard, he was attending to his wife who had been hospitalized with an acute thyroid problem. Some say that the couple had since gone to Haridwar-Rishikesh on pilgrimage. But nobody is sure. Hari-bhai’s whereabouts remain a mystery.
Srichand Arora is also incommunicado after he had shown up with a bandaged leg a few days back. He insisted that he was fine and there’s nothing to worry. But his protracted silence becomes a cause for worry. Let’s hope it isn’t anything serious and he’s able to rejoin us soon for the exercises on a regular basis.
Bhaswati Bose says:
Request all members to be present in the Garden tomorrow morning so that we can pray for Team India and do an additional "itni zor se lambi hansi" that it reaches Mohali!
