6. Afternoon programme-
On 11th June 2026, we played Antakshari in a unique and enjoyable format. Around 150 members participated in the event.
For the first round, we had prepared small chits, each containing a letter of the Gujarati alphabet. Participants had to pick a chit and sing a song beginning with the letter shown. It was a lively and entertaining session, with many audience members enthusiastically joining in and singing along.
The second round was similar but with a different challenge. Each chit contained the first line of a song, and the participant who picked the chit had to sing that particular song. This round also proved to be very engaging and enjoyable.
A special item was presented by Nimaben and Surubhai Kakkad in celebration of Nimaben's 80th birthday, making the afternoon even more memorable.
