Indeed it was a gr8 & a rare event in the sense that you rarely see so many people in traditional attire at a single platform. Kudos to Happy People who showed a lot of enthusiasm with the attendance crossing 60 mark which is a record of its own. The crowd was awesome. Many congratulations to Anjali for hosting back to back super duper events for the group. We have certaily raised the bar of event hosting.

What a great event last nite was. when the dhool and the beat of the drums started rolling, and the feets started tapping and the ladies in their beautiful fineries with diyas in their hands started dancing to the tunes of garba - what a sight it was - soooo beautiful and wonderful to watch and soon all of us also were dancing with the dandiya sticks in the adajacent circle area.....
thank you all .
