“It’s festive season and you want the kids to know the gloriousness of our culture. By actively making them part of plays like the Ramleela, it builds great perception in their minds about our festival, culture and the great Indian traditions we follow and, more importantly, why we follow them,” said Calcutta Swimming Club vice-president Gaurav Chokhany (right), seen here with senior committee member Siddharth Jhunjhunwala.
“We were overjoyed to see our members’ children perform on stage. It was a sight which will be etched in our memories for a long time. The vibe at the club was truly festive and members enjoyed the performance and the bumper tambola thereafter. I thank our entertainment team for organising this wonderful event,” said Calcutta Swimming Club president Nitin Dani, seen here with his wife Amita.
