A Case for … Not Working from Home! Yawn … Yawwn … YAWWNNNN 😴😴😴 It’s almost two months for our lockdown in #Pakistan and working from home. The first month went well, working from home I mean. Started waking up at 7am, instead of 6 You find the time to exercise more                               Lounge in your shorts and socks                                              No shirt, just your vest (in my case, #Sadrah)                                                             Come 5pm, put on your shirt and shoes (stay in your socks) and sit in the garden                       … It’s fine as long as you keep working, keep at it, stay busy! But now, now, now …. YAWNNNNNN ….                (forgot what I was thinking!) Oh yes, I’VE TURNED LAZY! 🤔 Today, as I write these words, I realize that working from home is NOT AN OPTION.  There is no such successful concept as “an office at home”.  The novelty wears away.  So does one’s creativity.  #Office interaction.  Office dynamics. Actually, now to think of it, it felt good going to office – sometimes even being first to open the doors – sticking to a ROUTINE.  You then actually enjoy your weekends at home more.  Go figure! 😏   #Avari, #Stayhome, #workfromhome, #COVID, #COVID19, #CoronaVirus, #Lockdown, #CovidLockdown, #CoronaLockdown, #AvariHotelsLtd, #BeachLuxuryHotel, #AvariTowers, #AvariLahore, #AvariXpress, #HotelsinLahore, #HotelsinPakistan, #HotelsinKarachi, #hotelsinMultan, #HotelsinIslamabad, #HotelsinFaisalabad, #Office, #TheOffice, (at Beach Luxury Hotel Karachi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAZzX5EHBaq/?igshid=b7a1ijsuqyq9

“Beach Luxury Hotel started construction, Partition took place, and the Sind Government once again requisitioned my Hotel. They said that as a Minority Member I will run away and they needed the building for Government Offices. This was somewhere around December…

Black Money Love- more than just a movie review!

Black Money Love- more than just a movie review!

June 26, 2020

One of the effects of the COVID lockdown was an increase of movies my family was watching, primarily being Black Money Love, a Turkish soap opera.

Besides the ‘eye-popping’ beauties (which I won’t go into in this paper 😊), the serial is actually very interesting to watch.

Its directing and acting is on par with any Hollywood soap; alongwith…

TDF Ghar (https://www.dawoodfoundation.org/tdf-ghar/)

March 18, 2020

We Karachiites are foodies!  So, when we received a circular for a Bohri food night, we jumped at it, on the roof of TDF “Ghar” (“house” in Urdu)- super dinner, pleasant weather, outstanding view of Quaid-e-Azam’s Mausoleum, typical Parsi loudness and laughter, great service by our Bohri hosts & excellent value for money!

Part 2 of 2 (cont…) “Fun with Parsi Surnames - Cyrus Broacha” 🤣😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 My uncle ran the air force canteen in Cotton Green and his partner, yes, you guessed it, was Mr Canteenwala. They had this fantastic cook, Mr Bhajiwala Their mild and meek manager, Mr Jeejeebhoy (Jee - jee bhai)  nodded his head and agreed with everything everybody said. My grandfather was the Sheriff of Bombay. Being Sheriff, it was only natural that he had Mr Bandookwala and Mr Golimar as his constant companions. My grandfather had many Parsi friends, who were in politics. There was this squeaky clean khadi-clad Mr Ghandy, and the not so clean Mr Gandabhoy — who was invariably being hounded by Mr Kotwal. But he never left home without his friends Mr Barrister, Mr Vakil, Mr Lawyer and their Munshi, Mr Mehnty. My grandfather built Hotel Waldorf on Arthur Bunder Road in Colaba. So for this, he naturally used the services of Mr Contractor and Mr Mistry. Yet... he never went to the conservative moneylenders when he was short of money, but borrowed it from his Parsi friend, Mr Readymoney. Our neighbour and family physician was Dr Adi Doctor. He lived with his in-laws, Mr and Mrs Pochkhanawala. My sister swears they ate only poached eggs for breakfast. I remember going to Dr Adi Doctor’s sister’s wedding. She is married to one Mr Screwwala. No. He is not a carpenter or a mechanic, so I dare not guess what he does for a living! Cyrus Broacha Comedywala” UNQUOTE Thank you @boredbroacha for the laugh 😊! (Note- Our family are Parsi Zoroastrians, a minority so minuscule that we are almost an “endangered” species in our own right 🤣!) https://dinshawavari.com/2020/02/11/fun-with-parsi-surnames-cyrus-broacha-%f0%9f%a4%a3%f0%9f%98%86%f0%9f%a4%a3%f0%9f%a4%a3%f0%9f%a4%a3%f0%9f%a4%a3%f0%9f%a4%a3/ #CyrusBroacha, #comediancyrusbroacha, #Parsi, #Zoroastrian, #ParsiZoroastrians, #Parsinames, #Parsiminority, #endangeredspecies, #idiosyncratichumor, #idiosyncrasies, #life, #HotelsinPakistan, #hotelsinkarachi, #hotelsinislamabad, #hotelsinmultan, #hotelsinfaisalabad, #hotelsinlahore, #BeachLuxuryHotel, #AvariTowers, #AvariLahore, #AvariXpress, #AvariHotels (at Beach Luxury Hotel Karachi) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8a_ccXHfUq/?igshid=o5240bxujhm1

Blog- THE GOLDEN SPOON! About 50 people have over 26 years of service with our family just at Beach Luxury Hotel (not counting our other hotels) – NINE of whom have been with us for over 40 years! Why would someone choose to work for 50% of his or her LIFE with one family !?   Our family’s CORE philosophy stems from my grandfather’s, late Dinshaw B Avari, life & upbringing.  Born in 1902, studied in the Petit Orphanage in Bombay, gave tuitions to support his & his siblings educations, my grandfather was truly a self-made man. He always taught my parents & us – “Your father was born with a Silver spoon in his mouth; and you’ll are born with a ‘golden’ spoon!  Never forget your roots – never forget what it took to give you your current lifestyle & education”.  That has always been front & center of our upbringing and in our children’s upbringing- respect, tolerance, loyalty, trust, compassion (to name a few) are the cornerstone of our relationships with people.  We have learnt that the very Foundations of our Group are our people. Who will provide our people with a social & personal safety net if not us?  Definitely not our #governments!  Laws provide for regulatory salaries, end of service benefits and the like – but if we don’t look after our own people in more ways, where’s the humanity our grandfather gave & taught us? … And to answer my initial question above, it’s because I believe our people have the same level of trust in us that we will look after them when the time comes.  https://dinshawavari.com/2019/06/24/the-golden-spoon/ & https://dinshaw8.blogspot.com/2019/06/the-golden-spoon.html #Avari #familybusiness #DinshawAvari #People #Employees #Avariemployees, #AvariHotelsLtd #BeachLuxuryHotel #AvariTowers #AvariLahore #AvariXpress #compassion #loyalty #HotelsinPakistan #HotelsinKarachi #grandfather #grandfatherquotes (at Beach Luxury Hotel Karachi) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzFaujjAbWB/?igshid=6h1ah6cde02w
