Deepavali fellowship

Reported by President Gregory

Deepavali, or the festival of light, is celebrated by the Hindu community around the world. In celebration of this year’s Deepavali festival, Vice President Sujendran invited all club members to a traditional Deepavali dinner at his house.

So, on 23 October 2006, we gathered at Sujen’s home at 8.30pm for the feast. Sujen’s mum had spent the whole day preparing and cooking to feed us hungry bunch and the food was superb! The spread of juicy mutton, sambal prawns, sweet and sour chicken, dharcar and vegetables, a sight that salivated our mouths and an aroma that melted our hearts. We were in for a treat!

With a few invited guests and the presence of PP Yvonne and her family, the night was filled with laughter and fellowship. We caught up with old times and spoke of those to come. We made new friends and shared our merry with them. We thoroughly enjoyed the fellowship in everybody’s company!

We are especially grateful to Vice President Sujendran for opening his home to us and to his mom for the wonderful meal. Thank you for sharing Deepavali with us!

The wonderful Deepavali spread that greeted us. Yummy! Pity those who couldn’t make it!
