Welcome Respite

Turning adversity to advantage is a skill taught in management schools. With us, it comes naturally. We don’t even have to try, however boring or oppressive the conditions may be in the Garden. Somehow things happen and we are left with moments to cherish and the pleasant feeling of a morning well spent.
Today Kajal and Dilip Babani (above) announced their wedding anniversary, thus breaking the tedium of exercising silently in the searing early-morning heat. But for occasional taunts and digs from the likes of Yusuf Rassiwala, Sunita Jajodia and Nafisa Sayed, everything looked subdued with only Kishor-bhai’s music providing some entertainment. In fact, everybody appeared impatient, anxious to be done with the exercises and leave the Garden.
When Kajal arrived, followed by Dilip in bright red shirt, things suddenly brightened up. Everybody looked cheerful, eager to wish the couple on their anniversary. Whether it was their presence that brought about the change in mood or the fact there was now a reason to celebrate, is hard to say. But it has to be said that this is one charming and forever sprightly couple every single member in the Club is fond of and can only have good wishes for, celebration or no-celebration.
While thanking them for sharing their happiness with us with loads of biscuits, let us also join their family and friends in blessing them with many more years of togetherness and marital bliss. Indeed, they make a beautiful jodi, worthy of each other.
Renu Babani says:
Yes, a normal mundane morning was brightened by the arrival of Dilip and Kajal Babani. Their fun-loving nature and manner in which they make others laugh is definitely worth praise. Some would say I am being biased, but rest assured, even others have said the same thing. On their special day, may His blessings and love always be upon them and of course, many more wonderful years of togetherness.
