Sudden Exodus

Hari Singh Shekhawat

Teja Singh Bhambra

Tara Chand Seth

It isn’t vacation time yet. Schools and colleges are in peak session, ahead of the annual exams. This isn’t the wedding season either. Nor are there major festivals round the corner. So why is there a sudden exodus from the Club at this time of the year?

Nahid Khan

Shekhawat of course, has a wedding to attend at his native place in Rajasthan on March 3. But before that, he shall have his cataract operation done. His rail reservations were made three months back, but now he is in two minds whether to go by train or fly. But go he must, he says.
Sardar Teja Singh Bhambra too has some personal commitments to attend in his home town, Faridabad. He says he has property there (currently put on rent) and that makes it necessary for him to pay periodic visits. So he has booked his tickets for March 2.

"My picnic pics are better than yours!!!"

Tara Chand Seth’s tickets to Kuala Lumpur have also come in. He would be making the trip with his brother on February 28 and spend 12 days in the Malaysian capital where his grand-niece has an apartment. He has plans for a cruise to Singapore as well, after which he would fly straight to Delhi (where he has another home) instead of returning to Mumbai.
And then there is Nahid Khan packing her bags for Lucknow. That’s where her maike is and she owes her family there a visit once a year. Her tickets are booked for March 7 and she is expected back on March 16. In fact, of the four, she will be taking the shortest break.
Meanwhile, on popular demand, Bhaswati Bose brought her laptop this morning to present a slide-show of the pictures taken on the Chhota Kashmir picnic last week-end. We are awaiting the photos clicked on the Kerala tour for mounting another slideshow on this blog.
Jagmohan Papneja:
I too will be away from 6th to 10th March to attend the golden anniversary of my elder sister's wedding in Delhi. Hope everyone will have a good break and a great time away from Mumbai.
