Vijayadashmi also known as Dussehra and Diwali - the festival of lights, the two mostimportant festivals will be celebrated in October and November.

The Managing Committee elected by you is almost completing its first 100 days in office. Several initiatives undertaken havesignificantly contributed to increased usage of Club by members. I take this opportunity to thank Vice-President, Hon.Secretary,Treasurer and Chair Persons and members of various sub-committees including Ladies Committee and, of course, themembers without whose encouragement, advise and participation the outcomes would not have been so positive.

Entertainment Committee needs accolades for their meticulous planning to give the members a variety of Programmes. A unique"CINE PLAY" with cheese and sparkling wine brought smiles and cheers. Screening of yet another blockbuster movie "SRIMANTHUDU" was viewedby over 800 members. Thanks to our own member Mr.Jagga Rao M.No.J-52 for sponsoring the event. "SUNDAY BAZAAR" organized by the evervibrant Ladies Committee was a great success and received by appreciation from one and all. Kee it up sisters!!!

Kudos to General Services Committee which worked tirelessly in the last three months. The improved flora and fauna in the Club is the result of theirdedicated and diligent efforts. We are planning yet another cleaning campaign on 11th October, 2015. The Bar Committee continues to create waves.The smashing promotional offers and regular schemes have indeed raised the "BAR". The PUB, 1883 and LAWNS are ever filled with laughter andresounding with 'Cheers'. Catering Committee is striving hard to ensure overall improvements in foods quality and service. Your suggestions andfeedback is most valuable to us to introduce many more dishes in the menu. Sports Committee added wonderful Volley Ball Court and extendedWalking Track in their activities. Gym will have more new treadmills as required by the members, Foot-Ball and Basket Ball Courts would be readyshortly. The Swimming Pool is now much more hygienic with replacement of water. Coaching classes for swimming also received appreciation notwithstanding some early teething problems. With regard to Library, many new magazines are included in our purchases as proposed by somemembers.

Wish you all a happy Dussehra and joyful Diwali !!.

The demos were all different intheir approach to demonstrate varied tricks to whip-up fun, healthy, andeasy-to-make dishes. Vani Gannamani, an entrepreneur and socialactivist, was the first-up with the display of a healthy, barley soup withcrunchy vegetables and a Thai soup with mushrooms. Her combinationof taste and ease in preparation left many in the audience wantingmore. Poonam Morada, one of our long-time members, was next upwith a display of four different salads (Hawaiian, Oats & Chickpea,Roasted Chicken Caesar& Tuna cocktail), which were Masterchef worthyin their restaurant quality appearance and taste. As a true Punjabiwoman with a large heart, Poonam cooked and served on the spot forover a 100 people! Having completed the ‘healthy’ part of the workshop,the audience was treated to a display of one of the simplest preparationsof Sandesh by the sweets queen, Anita Gupta. In all but 15 minutes,Anita had laid out a tray of kesar, mango, and strawberry flavouredSandesh for all of the audience. Thank you Anita for showing us thatthe humble Sandesh can stand its own in front of the mighty chocolatemousse, any day!

All the recipes of the dishes were handed to the present members andhave been posted to the Ladies’ Committee Facebook page for thosewho could only make it in spirit! The LC would like to thank all theparticipating ladies for taking the time to out to share their talents with theother members of the group.
