Annual Churning

Zarina Khan pays her annual subscription for 2019-20

It is that time of the year when we need to reaffirm our allegiance to Big Laaf. As Shekhawat put it, we need to pay our annual subscription (for renewal of club membership) for 2019-20 by March 31, the last day of the current financial year.
“I am leaving for my

village on April 2 and shall be away for a month,” he announced. “Before I leave, I would like to have our membership list updated. So please pay your subscription for the next year by April 1 latest.
“He is playing an April Fool joke on us,” quipped Nahid Khan while setting the process of cash collections this morning. Zarina Khan was the second to pay up, soon to be followed by a few others. Most of the members promised to pay by the week-end.
Meanwhile, here’s a spot of heart-warming news: Yusuf Rassiwala today informed that his grand-daughter, Mubaraka (remember, one of the judges at our Sports Day on March 3?) was crowned ‘Princess’ at a pageant conducted by her school recently.
This was however, not her first claim to fame. A rare combination of beauty and brains, Mubaraka has already starred in a popular television serial as a child artiste and just the other day, floored us by a scintillating speech, delivered extempore, at our prize-giving ceremony (ref post of March 9) in the Garden.
Together with younger sister Jamila, they make a formidable duo. Hearty congratulations, Mubaraka!

Lt Col Angad Singh (rtd):
Congrats Mubaraka and Yusuf Rassiwala. Mubaraka has a lot of talent. She is an upcoming star. God bless her. Our club membership is depleting. It is high time some young people are invited to join and add to our talent pool.

Salma Rassiwala:
I thank you on behalf of the Rassiwalla Family for uploading my daughter Mubaraka's pictures on her winning the Princess title in her school. We are very much obliged to Big Laaf and its members for all the love and affection showered upon her. We wish you all a very bright, beautiful and prosperous and healthy lifestyle.
