Jo and NimishaWhat a wonderful trip this was to Mumbai - on day 2 I called Rupande and within an hour Rashmi, Rupande and I were at the Crossroads Coffee Shop, no small talk, just do you remember amongst giggles and laughter.
The following Sunday the Merchant of Singapore (Ronita's nom de plume for Rajeev) had remotely persuaded Vik Ahuja to host a lavish lunch where the out-of-towners - Rajeev, Nina and I were made to feel very welcome. Behram had us all in stitches with his fictional anecdotes. Rajeev was the envy of the guys with his 6-pack and constant messages from all his flames. Thanks again, Viks!
The following Saturday, my last day in Mumbai, was a continuation of the trip down memory lane. This time it was a Ladies Only Luncheon hosted by a very gracious Rashmi. There was a lot of rewinding to the seventies and then fast-forwarding to the present. The pics say it all...

Rashmi, Nina, Divyaa
Tiku, Rupande, GeetuOnce again I toast all those who have been so active in getting this reunion going and keeping the momentum. Old friends - Ronita, Dhaval, Khurshid, Achinta, Rupande, Rashmi, Viks, Rajeev have come back into my life and I have also made new ones - Jo, Nina, Behram to name a few. We may have lost 37 years but definitely am not going to lose anymore!
My heart will be in Mumbai on the Mother of all Weekends.
Have a tequila shot on me...

Nimisha,
ReplyDeleteNice to hear from you after all these years. Even better remembering me as a friend! It seems there is a pre-union before the reunion with all you guys partying every weekend. Unfair to aliens like me who are so far away.
Finally kudos to Merchant of Singapore for publishing these write ups.
Shernaz Jasawala saw this post and emailed me - hope to connect with many more........

I just read this post. What a treat to see so many classmates (women) all in one place. It’s proof positive - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!
ReplyDeleteNimisha thanks a lot for taking the rest of us along on your trip down memory lane. You are spot on, Mumbai and the class of ’73 will always hold a special place in our hearts, no matter how much time passes or how far we may be.
It feels good to be a part of your circle of old friends, thanks.
