Chastened

After all the amusement and drama yesterday, things were on a relatively low-key today. Many compulsive late-comers like Pratap Bhatt, Kajal Babani and Sandhya Narang did not turn up this morning, presumably out of fear of being reprimanded. Even Shekhawat wanted to play truant, but when Arora called him from home, he apologetically held his ears and performed a sit-up before joining the exercises.
Otherwise, it was a quiet and peaceful morning, the focus of attention divided between the Diwali collections and firming up on the March 2013 trip. Arora came up with a new route map that begins at Amritsar and ends at Pathankot with Katra, Dalhousie, Shimla and Manali in between.
It was also decided that during the trip, Shekhawat would take care of ‘money management’ while Arora will look after ‘man management’. The rest is being outsourced to a tour operator.
Renu Babani's PICSPEAK:
"Listen, you must try to understand... it is not how it looks."
Harish Wadhwa:
* High hopes Arora-ji. Men can be managed but not the woo-men!
* Chai session was nice today, but for the fact that the woo-men kept their distance (from men) and kept chatting among themselves."
Renu Babani adds:
I beg your pardon, don't underestimate us. We have always proved ourselves!
