Thanksgiving

If proof were required for a party having gone down well, it was there for all to see this morning. Half the Club was absent – Yusuf Rassiwala, Jagmohan Papneja, Khatoon Baig, Renu Babani, Harbans Singh, Pratap Bhatt, Prakash Motwani, Sunita Jajodia… Of those who turned up, a majority were late. One even went off to sleep midway through the exercises (right pic).
Clearly, after yesterday’s binge, nobody was in a mood to exercise. We were all victims of over-indulgence at the Eid bash, if not chronic indigestion… Or so would Razia Khan like to believe.
Nevertheless, Shekhawat (pic below) thanked her formally on behalf of all members for having organized what shall go down as the best party in Club history. He profusely thanked the other hosts as well for the great food, wonderful arrangements and in general, the most enjoyable time we had together. “There was absolutely no room for any complaint,” he remarked.
Sitaram Hivarkar however, had a grouse about poor service at the restaurant – somehow feeling that vegetarians like him were discriminated against. He complained further that he did not get water to drink, let alone wash his hands. While Razia apologized for the lapse, Shekhawat made light of the situation by advising Sitaram to have beer and non-veg the next time around. “I had beer and non-veg and did not face any problem with water,” he said.
Shekhawat also announced an ‘ayurveda camp’ at the Garden this Saturday wherein members would be briefed on treatment of common ailments by this traditional system of medicine. The session would be accompanied by tea and biscuits, courtesy Bhaswati Bose, who has to spend the Rs500 she won from Shekhawat yesterday (see post). In other words, we would enjoy at Shekhawat’s expense while Bhaswati takes the credit!

Hello! I just would like to give a huge thumbs up for the great info you have here on this post. I will be coming back to your blog for more soon.
Harish Wadhwa: I thank our Muslim brethren for hosting the lunch. Bhaswati-ji, can you host another one for us as the same location now that you are richer by Rs500?
