Never Enough

The surest measure for joy, they say, is when you are unaware of time ticking by. For us at the Garden, whatever time we spend together, is never enough. We are supposed to be there at 7:00 in the morning, but many of us are already on the benches by 6:30. The exercises last an hour (and that is serious business), give or take 10 minutes. Thereafter, it is gaffing time. Some hang around while others head to a nearby tea stall. Many continue their discussion on the road (lead pic), often in the midst of heavy traffic. The discussions would be unending – just that no one ever remembers what was talked about. And yet, a lot still remains to be said the next day.
This happens to almost everyone. The same people who used to return home by 8:30 are now going back at 9:30 (on a good day), a clear three hours since they had left. But ask them what could have delayed them for so long and they would be at a loss for words!
Just to get a sense of what engages so many brilliant minds for so long, here are some clues: A’s grand-daughter is getting married and only B is invited, why not the others; C’s cap was stolen and she is asked to catch the thief before she gets a new one; D has acquired a smartphone, but cannot operate it (big deal); E wants to ensure non-vegans abstain from eating veggies for Diwali lunch; F wants to break G’s bones big time for being shifted around during the exercises; H, I, J, K, L… cannot understand why X or Y wears his clothes ulta!
Well, that was today. Tomorrow is another day.
Renu Babani's PICSPEAK:
* "OMG! This is so funny, you guys are missing out..."
* "I have so much to say, but such little time. So listen up quick!"
Harish Wadhwa:
* By the way, what is Santosh-ji crooning about? Just curious. Is she saying, "Wait for a couple of weeks for red gaajar to come into the market before I get some good kanji for all of you"?
* In the lead-pic Kishor-da seems to have understood what the ladies talk about!
