PIC OF THE WEEK: 22

HOLI CELEBRATIONS AT THE CLUB: These are the only pictures that could be salvaged after the camera packed up!HOLI 2011 will remain forever etched in the collective memory of the Club, what with close to 50 members turning up this morning to celebrate the festival of colours with rare fervour and abandon. Even Mr Sharma was there. Here you see (from above) the group partaking in the refreshments, the wild bunch and Srichand Arora (left) preparing thandai for the occasion. What you don't see is Shekhawat doing the Munni-bai jig, Harish Wadhwa going absolutely berserk and Dilip Babani making lal bandars out of everybody! But it was dry colours all the way...

Yes, today Holi was celebrated in style and colours galore. Everyone was in a festive mood. Rest assured no bhang was added to the thandai (at least, I hope so). What started as everyone enjoying the snacks, ended up with everyone's hands filled with various colours to ensure that each member's face was smeared and the pictures definitely prove it. It was a day to remember and everyone was in splits by the end of it.

Today's Holi was the best Holi we had in Garden. We enjoyed with colours, eating snacks and drinking thandai made by our beloved president, Arora-ji. Everybody's mood was very nice. Every moment we were laughing, singing and dancing. All were amazed because nobody expected all men and women to behave like little boys and girls in that one hour. Thanks to the members who came and made this Holi special. Special thanks to Arora-ji, Shekhawat-ji, Kishor-bhai, Harish-bhai and yes, Mr and Mrs Bose. Together, they organised everything nicely and became Mr and Mrs Monkeys in the end!
-- Dilip
Special thanks are due to Kajal and Dilip Babani as well for being the very life of the celebration.

Wow, what a Holi! Nice to see the camaraderie between all members and the deep urge to enjoy with one and all. Thandai and food only added to the celebration. After all, this is life -- when we have some nice moments to retrospect upon, while time flies by. Blog Monster, you were no less -- spending time behind the lens, enjoying and capturing some nice moments. I only wish I could take an immortal picture of the two of you with coloured faces. Wow, they were truly RED, literally. Guruji (Arora-ji) ki Thandai ne toh rang hi la diya. He is looking so nice making thandai like a halwai. Mr and Mrs Sushma Gupta also got some nice aam ka panna for those who did not try thandai. We know whom to catch now for drinks on a future occasion. Each member tried his/her prank to make it a fun and memorable morning. Did you also notice the women becoming “girls”, chasing their friends with gulal-loaded hands? I only pray to the Almighty, that may He keep all members and their families in the pink of health and bless everybody with a life full of happiness. (Sentimental ho gaya, bhai!).

Wow ! What a Holi !. Nice to see the camaraderie between all members and the deep urge to enjoy with one and all. Thandai & food only added to the celebrations.

Guru ji (Arora ji ) ki Thandai ne to rang hee la diya. He is looking so nice making Thandai, like a halwayee.. . Mrs & Mr. Gupta ji also got some nice “Aam ka panna”, for those who did not try Thandai. We know whom to catch now for drinks on a future occasion.

Each member shared tried his/ her prank to make it a fun & memorable morning. Did you also notice women becoming “girls”, chasing their friends to color them with colorful gulal loaded hands ?.

I only pray to the All Mighty, that may He keep each member and their family’s health pink and life full of happiness. (Senti….ho gaya bhai).
