Happy Tidings

Karun Sharma (seated) celebrates with luddoos
One of the most youthful members among us, looked his age today – with pride. Yes, Karun Sharma has become Grandfather 2.0. And to celebrate the event, he distributed luddoos in the Garden this morning.
We had already heard that Karun’s elder son, Prakhar had been blessed with another boy on December 5. (Such news travels fast.) This makes Karun a grandfather for the second time around. He confirmed the news today upon returning from his son’s place in Colaba and revealed that the new born has been named Sahil. Our blessings goto him.
Karun was not the only one to celebrate this morning. Urmila Sinha announced that she has turned into great-grandaunt, following an addition to her family back home in Dhanbad. This is a baby girl. Urmila celebrated the new

arrival with home-made sweetened pakwan. Our blessings go to her as well.
Continuing with the celebrations, there was Siba Prasad Maitra receiving a belated gift for his wedding anniversary the day before yesterday (see post of December 9). Bihari Milwani could not be present on that day and made up

Meanwhile, it has come to light why Shekhawat has been lately avoiding Bijoy Gupta and is always in a tearing hurry to return home after the exercises. He can never say what is cooking in latter’s mind and the surprises it would throw up the moment they are in close proximity.
The funny part is Gupta faces exactly the same problem. He cannot trust Shekhawat’s tongue and believes it is “bacteria in the mouth” that makes him utter stupid things in public which would drive anybody mad.
Today he found a solution for the bacteria. He took Shekhawat aside during the exercises and within earshot, told him to follow his advice. “You need to drink gau-mutra,” Gupta counselled. “It is cow's urine. All the bacteria in your mouth will die instantly!”
