Thank You Dear Friends, 17th June 2011

Personally, Anjana & I became the proud parents of a lovely girl – Aneira, Professionally, I took charge of a new assignment in my work life, which is keeping me very busy and finally, I also took up the Chairmanship of Naughty-40. Though each was very interesting in its own way, especially parenthood, time flew by and an year breezed through even before I realized it. It’s been a great experience leading the group for 2010-11 and we have had many fellowship events, outbound programs, and also Successfully hosted our Signature event- ‘The Oktoberfest’, even making a good profit for the 1st time. All this couldn’t have been done without the support and encouragement of my group of friends with whom I have bonded over the years. Sanjay, as secretary & Aarifa as the fellowship convener, have given me tremendours support and encouragement, and helped me in completing a great year and my sincere thanks to both of them. As I hand over the reins of our club to our incoming team – Chairman Sanjay Asher & his Secretary Anil Chikkara, I wish them the very best and promise them full support as they lead this group to one more year when we have lots of fun and bond well as families, which is the envy of the Area.

Good Luck & God Bless.
