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 />
