MUSICAL SESSION IV - 22nd Feb 2009

HYDERABAD CHAPTER

Hello Friends,

The second for the month and the fourth of this new year MUSICAL SESSION was held today at our regular venue SMR Empire Complex. When I reached the venue at 3.05 p.m., Subramanyam and N R Padmanabhan were already seated. Immediately thereafter Chandar and Mrs Radha Chandar turned up followed by many more of our members. After initial discussions on the subject of the periodicity of our Musical Sessions wherein some of our members gave their view points once again, we proceeded with the singing of the songs. Today, a total of 52 songs were rendered - a record by itself. We started the singing session from almost 4.00 p.m. and the same continued upto 7.30 p.m. in a very lively and enjoyable atmosphere. All those who were expected, except for the Deshpandes, turned up today and seeing the large gathering once again our spirits were lit up too. Nineteen members were present at the gathering and all except Raghavendra Rao, Mrs Sivaram and an elderly lady (mother of Nitin Dhepe) sang plenty of songs to their hearts content.

Today we were joined in by a new member - Mr V B G Krishna Murthy (99896 21456) and we welcome him to our fold too. Unfortunately, VBG Krishna Murthy does not use the email and hence would not be able get to see this reporting. I have given his phone number for our members to note down the same.

Friends, today was indeed a very pleasant Musical Session and al the members enjoyed it thoroughly. A good gathering provides for the best entertainment for all too.

Since on the following three Sundays i.e. 1st March, 8th March and 15th March 2009 many of our members will not be available, we have straightaway decided to have our next Musical Session on the 22nd March 2009 (exactly a month from now). Chandar is planning to have this particular Musical Session at their residence, but confirmation on this will be known separately. The date is however confirmed and we will all meet once again on the 22nd March 2009.

We will however be in constant touch with our members through mails, information and other trivia till we meet personally in our next Musical Session.

Until then, friends, here is wishing you all MUSICAL weeks ahead.
