Goa Group Returns

While the Goa group was away, the running joke in the Club was that Hari Singh Shekhawat would be sitting at Calangute Beach against the rising sun, hunched over a ‘crate’ of bottles (the way he does over his medicines at home) and deciding for himself what bottle to consume and when during the day!
For a man who loves his drinks, the joke could not be far from the truth. Shekhawat was still in high spirits this morning – unlike the others who had returned last evening. Some like Khatoon Baig and Nahid Khan looked tired (and tanned) when they came to exercise today. The rest simply chose to stay away at home. But Shekhawat was all over the place, full of beans, eager to narrate his Goa experience (lead pic) like an excited schoolboy. Surely, this man is getting younger and younger by the day!
Here is Renu Babani’s account of the trip:
Day 1 (March 23): After checking into the resort and an hour of rest, no one wanted to stay in their rooms. We ventured out to the sea. The sound of waves, as they approached the shore and cooling our feet in the waters felt nice. Some decided to relax on the beach chairs and admire the view. It was such a relaxing atmosphere…
Day 2 (March 24): Tour of south Goa – the beautiful church, boat ride to check out the dolphins, a visit to the market place followed by a boat cruise where dancers entertained us with the DJ playing the latest numbers…
Day 3 (March 25): Everyone got a chance to unwind, relax and do what they felt like… This was the time when all 18 of us bonded. We realised that on an otherwise normal day at the Garden, everyone is too busy with their lives to sit around and chat. Our thanks to those who organised the trip. Their hard work paid off and the memories shall remain forever.
Harish Wadhwa: Renu-ji, you seem to have enjoyed so thoroughly that all of us who did not go, are a little J.
