MIC - Tambola

Yes it rained on the evening of 25th June, there was

a downpour and drenched everyone, but, with cash

dividends, gift coupons and vouchers and pleasant

memories.

We thought that the rain God would play spoilsport,

dampening the spirits but astonishingly nobody was

bogged down by the rain and expectations soared

even higher.

The atmosphere looked festive ,with television

star Mr. Abhishek (Lead player in many TV Tamil

Serials) and his crew rendering popular Tamil and

Hindi film numbers catering to the large number of

members ,that are passionate about this game “ The

Tambola”.

When rain interrupted, one round of Tambola was

over, and Rs.40, 000/-cash and gift vouchers were

given away as prize money. Well, some of us

thought that the evening which started with a bang

would end in a whimper, but eh! , that was not to

be! The entire crowd just migrated onto the

Verandah, pulled up chairs and tables and settled

down comfortably. The music band followed suit.


July 2008CLUB CLASS 3

And the game began with renewed enthusiasm ,

remember the stakes were high.

Three more rounds, and in all prizes worth

Rs.1, 50,000 in hard cash was disbursed, besides

attractive gifts, gift vouchers, coupons etc. Every one

said it was truly a memorable “maha tambola”.

The tambola committee would like to appreciate and

thank the following:

For sponsoring gift articles, gift coupons, etc.

M/s. Arun Nadkarni, Raman Khanna, James Fredrick,

Latha Kumarasamy - Member In Charge

The I Bar was rocking! The Beer Fest at The I Bar was

a complete blast. David Pascal our special

performer for the event was at his sizzling best.

Showed us why his voice is often termed ‘the voice

of an angel’! Truly gifted. The voice chameleon that

he is, got under the skin of every song he sang from

rock to retro and pop to country! He had members

up and about in a frenzy.

The I Bar thanks its chief sponsor for this event

Kingfisher for helping in putting together yet

another ‘exclusive’ The I Bar event. As always thanks

to all Managing Committee, The I Bar Staff, Prithvi

Audio for sound and all others who made this event

possible.

Special thanks to Mr. Vivish George for his support

and help in conducting this event. Till the next

one...Ciao!
