Personal Experience<br />
I<br />
had been feeling quite ecstatic<br />
when I found out that I was going<br />
to be part of the creative kids camp<br />
being held by the good people<br />
of <strong>India</strong> <strong>Club</strong>. I was feeling a bit<br />
nervous though, but it didn’t take<br />
me long to blend in and make new<br />
friends quickly.<br />
On our first day, we had public<br />
speaking. I had pretty much expected<br />
what I would be doing, from our first<br />
day. It was awesome! This class had<br />
definitely boosted my confidence<br />
level and thanks to Mr. Lakhi Sawlani<br />
and Mrs. Mala Sawlani, now I am<br />
no victim of stage fright. This was<br />
also my favourite class, other than<br />
caricature drawing, photography,<br />
Bollywood dance and cooking. We<br />
had fun drawing cartoon. We learned<br />
a few mouth watering recipes too,<br />
from Mrs. Gahana Khatwani. Our<br />
cameras sure got a chance to flash on<br />
photography, with Dr. Manu Mehta.<br />
We all had a fun time dancing out<br />
on Bollywood dance tracks with Ms.<br />
Arti Vora. <strong>Al</strong>l in all, I had a fun time<br />
and would like to thank everyone<br />
who made this camp possible.<br />

Dahi Handi rocks<br />
An event which is admired by<br />
every individual across the<br />
world and of course not to forget<br />
that the only <strong>Club</strong> to host it in the<br />
Middle East was celebrated with<br />
great aplomb. Congrats.<br />
It is also a nice initiative to<br />
educate the young generation about<br />
Janmastami.<br />
As I was actively involved in coordinating<br />
and training of the Gopis<br />
& Govindas for the Dahi Handi<br />
event, I would like to thank all the<br />
participants, parents and support<br />
staff who were involved in making<br />
the event a big success.<br />
Apart from the main event an<br />
introduction of Dry foam tub (1st<br />
time at <strong>India</strong> <strong>Club</strong>), rain dance, live<br />
dancers and Dj Free Styler added<br />
a touch to the grand success of the<br />
event..<br />
Finally, as we are growing year by<br />
year, we hope to have more entries<br />
next year to form a 4 tier pyramid.<br />

Rice is Nice<br />
Just to put on record the great<br />
time we had – thanks to Pansy<br />
Lobo who organized the function so<br />
thoughtfully.<br />
Well decorated dishes showed how<br />
enthusiastically all members had<br />
participated. It was indeed a tough<br />
job for judges Rakesh Puri, Auxulio<br />
D’Souza and Monal Malhotra to<br />
choose the winners. While judges<br />
were busy selecting the winning<br />
entries, members were kept busy<br />
with the all time favorite game<br />
of Housie. A vegetable carving<br />
demonstration by Ms. Savithri Kisani<br />
was very interesting. Not only were<br />
the winners rewarded, but Mr. Dev<br />
Tharwani of Kohinoor Rice was very<br />
generous in giving lavish gifts to all<br />
the members present, participants<br />
and non-participants.<br />
Overall, it was a very enjoyable<br />
evening that ended with some of the<br />
finest delicacies prepared by our club<br />
chef.<br />

Badminton Tournament<br />
Having participated in the<br />
Interstate Tournament 2010, I<br />
very much appreciate <strong>India</strong> <strong>Club</strong>’s<br />
endeavor to conduct such a warm<br />
tournament,40 players 8 teams<br />
one tournament... The <strong>India</strong> <strong>Club</strong><br />
interstate tournament held from<br />
25th September to 2nd October 2010<br />
brought together all the badminton<br />
lovers of <strong>India</strong> <strong>Club</strong>. We got to see<br />
a lot of good players giving their<br />
best performance,not for the trophy<br />
but for the spirit of the game and<br />
for their respective teams. A lot of<br />
credit goes to the Sports Committee<br />
Members who continues to take their<br />
best efforts every year to make this<br />
tournament a huge success. Cheers<br />
to Mr. Prakashan A. K., Mr. Kishore<br />
Setpal and Mr. Simon. Managing<br />
40 badminton players and forming<br />
teams is not at all an easy job, but<br />
keeping aside a few confusions.<br />
The tournament was such a hit<br />
with the members that,at the party<br />
that followed the final, there were lot<br />
of requests from the players to hold<br />
the tournament at least twice in a<br />
year. Again thumbs up to the sports<br />
committee for giving players at all<br />
levels, an opportunity to play with<br />
best players of <strong>India</strong> <strong>Club</strong>.<br />

Oman Celebrations<br />
I<br />
have been attending the various<br />
events held by the <strong>Club</strong> on a<br />
regular basis. The recently held<br />
Onam celebration warrants a special<br />
mention. I must commend the club for<br />
a well organised event that brought<br />
back fond memories of home, the<br />
traditions and the togetherness that<br />
goes with it.<br />
Many thanks for organising this<br />
and look forward to attending several<br />
more.<br />
