The Daily Observer: 9th July 2020

😎THE DAILY OBSERVER-36: 09 July 2020: 03:02😎

Alfred and Saxi began the day with a couple of jokes and Nirbhye added 13 guidelines for group members which is a must-read for all. Satish added an interesting 14th guideline to it - do not try to reform anyone as all are in their sixties or thereabouts. This drew comments. Bharat Bhushan certified Arun Parasar as one who is "highly educated" and posted a video of an ITBP Covid Care Centre featuring Mandip Grewal's son. Matter of pride for the entire course. AK Roy Chaudhri posted two videos and Vidur posted a video of the Ram Setu. Alan Clarke posted a video debate of Hindi as an official language. Some banter on how to politely word the fact that oldies are resistant to change/reform followed between Luthra, Satish snd S Murali.

Sirohi seems to be the one person most affected by Navnit's ML in the morning and apologised profusely to Alfred.He went on to explain to Murali that change is possible at any time quoting an example easily understood by all of us - when whisky is not available, we make do with rum . He added a video of a lady in Marwari clothes singing an English number to futther prove his point. Sirohi expressed himself in a day more than he has ever done since this group started. In-between AK Roy Chaudhri brought out the matter of Southern states not paying due respect to Hindi, to which Murali agreed readily. Gurvi compared Alfie to Chitragupta and Murali concurred. But Alfie is not at all interested in accounts beyond DOB and WA. At the most he may ask if you have attended a Webinar.

Shiv posted a positivity message from fb. H Murali expressed happiness at the return of Alfie. Saxi posted the joke of the donkey and the devil - a must read for all. Sukhi posted a cocktail video and remarked about the serious Covid situation in Bangalore. Shiv posted a video about defence equipment about which Sanjay Mishra revealed that it was a very old development and that he had personally met Abdul Kalam in South Block in that regard in 1994. What a revelation ! No wonder he seems to know so much about the goings on in the corridors of power. Nirbhye posted some lovely pics of flowers in his garden.Shiv advised all to smile. Sawant posted a long video on Covid. Alfie started getting senti around midnight and posted a response to the messages he had received. PK Sharma fwd a number of photos showing a startling and disturbing resemblance between Modi and Hitler. Alfie posted a fwd of what would have happened in 1962 if Nehru had used the IAF. Topic carried over to the morning.

A happy Guruvar to all!
