कुछ माहोल भी ऐसा था, कुछ फिजायें भी रंगीन हुयी,
महफिल बुलंदियों को क्यों न छुए, जब दिल के तारों में हरकतें हुयी
A Big Musical Hello to all our Members
Words, once again, fail me when I attempt to describe the almost five hours of Musical Session that we all had today. The first big hurdle is where I should begin. The moment I entered the house of the Dhepes at Anupuram Colony, I was transformed by the picturesque and the grandoise atmosphere. To have our Musical Session here would be one of the finest, my instincts told me. I had wished then and there that all our members should have been present, for this is an occasion which none should miss. Thinking on where I should begin today's reporting, I started thinking in Hindi and the above poured out of my heart. Choosing a caption for this mail too posed me challenges and I settled down with this simple term " A Grandoise Affair ".
Today we could all assemble, in batches again, a bit late. By the time we started our Musical Session, we were almost an hour behind schedule. But then, this happens because of the long distances that many of us had to cover and also to locate the residence (a palatial bungalow I should say) of the Dhepes. But this lost one hour was made up by sitting that much late towards the end. The Dhepes have built a perfect 'getaway' and their 1200 Sq. Yards plot houses one of the best residential addresses in town. Each of their rooms has been specially built taking care of the minutest of details. Althoug built on a very rationale 1200 SFT, the house looks very spacious and large and would make for a perfect living. The open spaces around the house, the parking lot, the ambience, the frontal look and almost everything was of top class order. We wish the Dhepes the very best of living in their newly built house and hope that all that they desire in life would be fulfilled in their tastefully constructed house. And to begin with, Rafi Foundation Hyderabad Chapter thanks them for hosting today's Musical Session in their house. Playing perfect hosts, they took care of all that had to be looked into for our Musical Session. The ambience in the third floor hall was what any Musical Group would welcome and this showed in the way our members interacted with one another and had a much more 'gala' time than we normally have seen.
As though a premonition was prevalent, we had the pleasant company of some new members and we wish to welcome them into our fold wholeheartedly. Mr Rangarajan, Mr Mohan Rao and young man Mithest joined us for the first time. VBG Krishna Murthy too joined us after he had attended one Musical Session at SMR Empire during Feb 2009. Sanjay Kulkarni too made up for lost time in several months by attending today. The Bhumkars had to keep away as today is their son's birthday. Santosh and Satyendra had earlier sent messages that they cannot attend. Perhaps Mohd Saleem could not attend owing to some work. All our other members though attended and we had a total 19 members present in today's Session. I am giving the full list here :
S Chandar, Rangarajan, Y Mohan Rao, Mrs Shubada Deshpande, Mrs Radha Chandar, Mrs Sethu Subramaniam, R Padmanabhan, Sanjay Deshpande, N R Padmanabhan, S Raghavendra Rao, SK Elias, D Subramanyam, VBGK Murthy, Nitin Dephe, Mrs Nirmala Dephe, A S Murty, Sachin Deshpande, Mithesh and Sanjay Kulkarni.
New member Mohan Rao started the day's proceedings, first with a lovely 'sher' in Urdu following it up by a Talat Mahmood song that he described as one which he had heard for the first time in 1953. Other singers then all took turns to present their choicest of songs. We heard today some of the very rare category songs from some of our members today and songs of Rafi Sahab, Talat Mahmood, K L Saigal, Hemant Kumar, Pankaj Udhas, Kishore Kumar, Mukesh, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle were all rendered. A few duets and a foursome chorus song were the other added attractions today. Here is the full list of all the 42 Songs that went 'live' to the merriment and enjoyement of all our members :

Halfway through the singing session, the hosts served snacks and tea to all our members and for the first time, we saw non-stop singing going alongwith the munching of snacks too.
It was decided to have our next Musical Session at SMR Empire Complex on the 26th April 2009 which the Chandars however will be missing owing to their Bangalore trip. We also decided to collect the mothly subscriptions at a flat Rs.100/- per family instead of the present set up. However we did not collect any subscriptions today as Chandar has planned to do that in May 2009.
Friends, the Subramanyams will be with us now only for a few Musical Sessions. It should be the endeavour of all not to miss any of these. We have therefore decided on the next day of 26th April 2009 so well in advance so that all our members can attend. In the month of May 2009 also we will have two Sessions, so that we have the company of the Subramanyams to the maximum. However the dates will have to be worked out later for that month.
All in all, a hugely successful and entertaining Musical Sessions and all our members enjoyed this "Grandiose Affair with Anupuram".
With the Best of Musical Greetings,
