If Richie, my choir master, had ever approached me with a request to join a choir giving a 10 year commitment, I would have run hundred miles away from such a ridiculous demand. But here we are, celebrating the 10th anniversary of my choir – yes the Marian Choir which began on April 18, 1998 with Richie, myself and a handful of others has turned ten years old. And what a decade it has been.
What memories – of singing every Sunday at our slotted 9.00 am mass, of fun practices every Friday evening, of singing for weddings of near ones and funerals of dear ones, of participating in the annual choral festivals at NCPA for six consecutive years. Such fond moments – of a choir which started out with just 7-8 members and grew to more than 25, so many have come and gone and keep coming back, we can safely say we represent a larger version of the Von Trapp family. And our Christopher Plummer, I mean Richie, needs nothing less than an Oscar for not only his relentless dedication but also for turning a noisy nuisance bunch of croaking pranksters like me into a more than decent choir.
Kudos to the Marian Choir.
Well, on the same day, 4 stations away at Goregaon, a priest got ordained. Brother Jude whom Trudy and I had had a brief encounter with at youth camp, a few months earlier, became Fr Magi Murzello on April 18, 1998 and entered our parish and our lives. I proudly say I’m the first person he met in this parish when he approached me and asked for directions in the church compound, little did I realize then that he was nothing less than a God sent guardian angel to guide and guard me. To those who don’t know him, he is a priest cum principal with educational qualifications that can put many doctors to shame, with knowledge so profound that he won the All India Bournvita Quiz Contest for Principals. He is a task master who can make most youth, student and teachers shiver at his command. To me and my family, he has been a confidant, a counselor and a close friend who would rush to your aid no matter what the hour of day. I can safely say that over these ten years there have been many pitfalls I would not have come out of and many more pitfalls I would have fallen into if it had not been for his guidance. And I won’t say anymore, else he’ll also become my murderer for embarrassing him so much.
Thank You Fr Magi.
And I just can’t reminisce over this day without remembering my Goldie; it’s our fourth anniversary today. It was on April 18, 2004 that she entered my life and it’s been one whirlwind of an affair ever since. Her sexy moves, her smooth drives, her soft caresses, her body of sensual curves, her racing spirit, her melodious voice, her amazing power has so attracted me these past years and driven me crazy – literally.
Oh, come off the wild imaginations; don’t tell me you don’t know who I’m talking about. My first love – MH23. E 1620 – MARUTI ZEN LX
I Love You My Goldie

Wow, 10 years!!!Time flies by so fast, doesn't it? My association with the Marian Choir has been on and off because of my other commitments , but I have to say I have loved and enjoyed being a part of it. Have made some great friends thru' the choir and have also been able to use my talent and learn so much because of Richie and the choir. So thanks to everyone in the Marian Choir for being such a wonderful part of my life..........Thanks Rochelle for writing this wonderful post. I loved it.
It also made me think of how much I love and miss Fr. Magi.He was and is, probably one of the best priests I have ever known and just like you, I am so happy that God brought him into my life.Will always be grateful for the gift of Fr. Magi to all of us.
