W
hen a fun filled and activity filled month has ended, We "March"ed on in style and the efforts were rewarded
with your appreciation and some brickbats too,but then it was a fulfilling month. The talk by Sri Amit Das
Gupta, the former diplomat and author on TRANSFORMATIVE THINKING was well attended and the
presence of the senior members was so heart warming.The Committee was also of the opinion that the expenditure
is better spent on the members and so as the huge Mega Tambola on the day, prior to Ugadi. The response was
overwhelming and we were frantically getting the chairs,tables and pads organized. Thank you Club members for
such a lovely response.If there is any shortcoming, forgive us and we will do better next time around.
The next day, in the true telugu tradition, we welcomed the new year with Ugadi Pacchadi and Panchanga Sravanam,
followed by breakfast.
That weekend was fun filled but tiring. The musical program by Dr Sharathchandra was to say the least-Melodious. It was glorious trip down memory
lane, for all those who watched telugu movies of the 50s to the 70s and heard the legendary Ghantasala. The setting was perfect at Jubilee deck.,
a gentle breeze, friends , a little spirit and the mood was set .We are in fact lucky to have such an environment and it is my earnest desire that the
Club members should participate in such programmes in greater numbers. The setting is awesome (as the younger generation would call it) and we
are blessed to be members of a Club with such a green environment.
This also reminds me that the tree plantation is almost complete and the results will be visible in a few months time and total greenery would be in
full bloom in a few years. The hard work put in by the Hon Secretary is admirable and of course special thanks to the man with the greenest thumb
that I know - Mr. Raja Babu of SUNRAY. He is a walking encyclopedia who of course works free for the Club.
The culmination of the month was the Mela /Fun Carnival by the ladies committee, which again saw a record crowd in attendance and stalls with a
variety of items in stock. Mrs.Vani Murali and her team also deserve a huge round of applause for the stupendous effort.
This is what happens when the month is so fun filled and busy-you end up with long reports
Yours in Service,
Programmes for April – 2015

FUN CARNIVAL
HELD ON 29TH MARCH 2015
The FUN CARNIVAL activities started sometime in the
mid-afternoon, with the excited and anxious stall owners
and exhibitors, locating their allotted stalls and displaying
their goods and some took time to decorate their stalls
too. As the time neared for the carnival to be opened to
our members and guests, the weather too decided to
become pleasant and cooler. Once the place was ready
in line with our ladies committee's vision, it was the
perfect carnival setting. The jubilee ground was adorned
with close to 100 stalls showcasing their goods ranging
from clothes, jewellery, handicrafts, magic plants,
different play rides for children, displays, our funny men
on stilts, DJ playing his music, Candy floss, Pop corn,
Mouth-watering food stalls, Game stalls by children,
Parrot fortune teller .... The list is endless and it was
PERFECT!
The crowd walked into this fun ambience and thoroughly
enjoyed by themselves, adults and children equally. This
joy expressed by them made the ladies committee
members even happier and our hard work and efforts
had paid off. This tempo and fun activities continued
late into the evening and ended with sumptuous dinner
hosted by the Club.

Chairperson Ladies Committee.
UGADI EVE
MUSICAL NITE
SUPER BUMPER TAMBOLA
The advent of the
Manmadha
Nama
Samvastram
was
celebrated in a different
style this year with a huge
Bumper Tambola. Instead
of spending money on
musical programmes,
dances, etc, it was
decided to give better and
greater prizes of about Rs 4 lakhs to the Club members
only. The entire focus was on the members. Sponsorships
were obtained from VAIBHAV JEWELLERS and every prize
was given in gold only. The second prize was a VESPA
Scooter sponsored by ORA MOTORS.
The record crowd
stretched the facilities to
the limit, but then we
managed to finish the
Tambola in style,
without too many
hiccups.
The Super Bumper
prize of 50 Grams Gold
was won by Mrs.Indubala Gupta, W/o.Ashok Kumar Gupta
(A-78), while the scooter was won by Mr.Ch. Indraneel(I-15 )
On behalf of the Club Committee, we thank all the members
whose participation made the event a memorable one.
After the resounding success of Lamhe, the evening
of Hindi melodies, it was decided to have an evening
of Telugu songs of the GANA GANDHARVA of
TELUGU -Sri GHANTASALA VENKATESWARA
RAO. After a long search, we narrowed down on
Dr.Sharathchandra Tamada, who is a renowned
singer of this genre of songs. The setting was perfect
at the Jubilee Deck with a good breeze flowing and
true to his belief, Dr.Sharathchandra Tamada took
everyone down memory lane with his wonderful
renditions of the classics sung by the maestro himself.
For those who missed the evening, it was something
to rue about and for those who attended the evening,
it was a sure trip down memory lane.
Sri Rama Taraka Yagnam was held at Auditorium on
the appearance Day of Sri Rama Navami on 28th
March, 2015 and Kirtan, Nama-Ramayana Bhajan
was performed. Prasadam and Lunch was served to
our Club devotees. Total 50 couples have attended
the Yagnam, which was well conducted by Akshaya
Patra Foundation, Visakhapatnam.
UGADI: In traditional style the club members decided to
welcome the Telugu New Year with a Panchanga Sravanam
by Sri Ghandikota Venkata Brahma Srinivasa Sarma, which
was well attended by the members. The predictions and
forecasts were eagerly awaited and on the whole the year
seems to be good for everyone.
On behalf of the Managing Committee, our greetings to
everyone and hope you have a year full of happiness.
