Today’s lunch was something special as we had ‘Shrikhand’ and puri, ‘Patarvellia na paan’, ‘Adad ni daar’ and fresh beans nu shaak. All this with the sponsored Dhosa na laadu. This was enjoyed by everyone. After lunch today, we are going to have a Valentine programme.
The programme started with the seven chosen couples sitting in front of the stage and Jasuben Sheth started with a poem befitting the occasion. Vinodbhai Kapsashi then took over the programme by reading the seven vows and requesting each couple to come on the stage to recite the vow, present a rose to the wife and then tell something interesting in their married life. The programme was hilarious and ended by the President -Baburai Shah giving the Thanks and stating that it would be advisable that the couples should also have an eighth vow : “not to touch the mobiles for one hour everyday”!!!!!!!
