Back to the Grind

The beginning of another week. Balmy morning. As expected, low turnout… But as the exercises progressed, people began trickling in. More importantly, Yusuf Rassiwala took charge as the man in the middle. He looked determined on changing the prevailing perception: “If you see Yusuf-bhai, it must be Friday!”
Good for him. Good for us.
Hari Singh Shekhawat got busy collecting cash for the picnic on April 23. He and Kishor Babani have already confirmed the bus booking by paying an advance to the transport operator. So there can be no backing out now. Fortunately, the response of members has been quite encouraging so far. At this rate we can expect a contingent of around 50 to be descending on Royal Garden Resort during the Easter week-end.
Significantly, Razia Khan (left) called up the Club this morning while we were in the midst of our exercises. She is at present vacationing in the U.S. and obviously, has been missing her morning routine in Mumbai. Shekhawat took her call and informed us that she is doing fine and wishes everybody here well. We reciprocate the feelings through this blog and look forward to her early return.
Indeed, it was nice of her to think of us and make that call this morning.
Renu Babani says:
Yes, the picnic is the main topic these days and hopefully all those interested will respond positively. The spot chosen is definitely nice and that could be the reason for many people coming forward to ensure a seat on the bus. Although the turnout was low this morning, we did enjoy the chatter amongst ourselves. Despite the warm weather, everyone left in their usual high spirits, till the next morning.
