કોઈ પણ ખાસ દિવસની ઉજવણી આપણે કેમ કરીએ છે? કદી ટીચર્સ ડે, તો કદી મધર્સ ડે, તો કદી ચિલ્ડ્ર્ન ડે. કોઈ પણ સ્પેશલ દિવસની ઉજવણી તે વ્યક્તિ કે વસ્તુનું આપણા જીવનમાં મહત્વ બતાવવાં માટે થાય છે. આ દોડભાગની જીંદગીમાં આપણને જ્યાં પોતાના માટે વિચારવાનો સમય નથી મળતો ત્યાં બીજાના વિશે કેવી રીતે વિચારી શકીએ? તમારી […]

This resulted in Meherbai getting all worked-up and taking out her frustrations on poor Merwanji. “Gangubai has not yet reported for work even […]
Meherbai and her Mandli organised a party for their better-halves to celebrate Father’s Day. The hubbies didn’t mind because they knew that anytime is party-time for this Mandli. The only question asked by the men (fathers!) was “Chhato-Panni hosey key?” The wives chorused, “Haas-to-vari!
