4. In the afternoon session, we played a game of Antakshri as notified to our members in the last circular. As the delivery of the food was a little bit late and we had about 225/230 members present, it took quite a while to feed every one. However the plus side is that our members were very happy with the lunch. Shri- khand, Puri, two different types of bhajiyas, Shak/vegetable, rice, kadhi and appropriate chutneys were liked by all.
We started at about 2.25 pm and first Vinodbhai Kapashi asked members to sing the songs from the films of Dharmendra and then films of Rajkapoor and then of Nutan. Members took part with great enthusiasm.
