past presidents host an exotic fellowship evening

The evening setting was perfect by the poolside, yellow shimmering waters, teasing raindrops playing catch-me-if-you can, happy chatter and laughter of us family of RCND. Men dressed in their evening best with jackets, jodhpurs, hats, boots, dhotis, and kurtas. Women spattered bright lively colors in their shararas, dresses, and churidaar kameez!! The stage set for a fashion fiesta and the catwalk!PP Rtn. Madhumati Singh was playing her songs selection to match the mood and seating was strictly man-woman mix to help mixing around the group.First fun game was finding your number in the other gender and pairing up to perform something interesting for 2 minutes each couple. We had a range of creativity like songs, enacting on a song sung, dance a slow dance, poem, jokes,

singing a duet etc. Everybody participated with tremendous joy and merriment! With music playing in the background, cool breeze and clouds floating above us, the evening glowed with Antakshari while everybody dined. Men vs women and songs starting from word “Hawaa” or its synonyms. It was a draw and men got saved because of Rtn. Kamal Bhambhani. The prize for best dressed man and woman and for best couple performance will be given on the next coming meeting. And not carry forward. So be there otherwise you’ll miss your prize.PP Rtn. Madhumati Singh also announced the April Dinner meeting at Palika Services Officers Institute in Chanakyapuri by the poolside with the TRIOBAND who coudn’t perform at IHC due to their rules!

So let’s keep up our tempo of fellowship and happy times of large attendance with Spouses in RCND forthcoming meetings.The initiative for organising this meeting was with the idea that we all must gel together. Ladies should come to our regular Club Meetings and gel with the Members and share fellowship so
