The day before (Monday), Monthi Serrao celebrated her birthday with a generous treat of fresh fries and sweets. Yesterday, there were apples from Nahid Khan and dry fruits from Shekhawat. Today, everybody gorged on laddus (right pic) courtesy Kishor Babani’s birthday. Tomorrow, yet another celebration awaits us – Harish Wadhwa’s birthday. Then comes Bhatt’s birthday and Bose’s on Saturday. In effect, by the end of the week, we’d have ingested more calories than we can ever hope to burn (with our daily exercises) in an entire year!
But Kishor’s (right) birthday was special. From the time he set foot in the Garden this morning, he was mobbed by friends and fans eager to grab his hand and wish him Happy Birthday. It says a lot about this man's popularity and goodwill that we had full house today with almost 30 members attending the exercises and thereafter, joining the chorus of ‘Happy Birthday to You!’ Kishor reciprocated by singing ‘Happy Birthday to Me’ and silenced everyone by stuffing their mouths with laddu after laddu – without having a single one himself.
At times like this, we realize how closely we have bonded as a family (especially in the last two years) and how much we are into one another’s lives. This is a unique club we have that has no room for any ill-will or malice. The sense of love and sharing is expressed not just in sweets and celebrations. It shows in many small but profound ways – like the way, Santosh Tyagi (left) today thanked Srichand Arora, Monthi and of course, Shekhawat (all by name) for standing by her when she was robbed in the train to Kashmir (see post of September 10). She was speaking from her heart, not because she had to. Where else would you find such fine human beings?Harish Wadhwa:
* Happy Birthday, Kishor-da -- once again. Can I get another glistening orange stuff also once again? Ishara kafi hai merey dost... May you have many healthy and cheerful years ahead.
If you see the blog picture of today, what stands out is that glistening orange stuff which the three gentlemen are holding!
* Chamak rahe ho, Kishor-da, iss photu mein. Nice smiling pic.
Srichand Arora:
'Kishor the Great', we wish you a very happy birthday and many many many many happy returns of the day. God bless you!
