Ab Kya Misaal Doon - The Birth of the Anth Tak Band

The Anth Tak 29th Meet at Gopalan's the abode of Vijayji and family on the 3rd of October.... The event itself was wonderful. The time that the Anth Tak Family members got to spend in the company of others, in addition to some very special invitees who were floored by the performance of Anth Tak that they invited Anth Tak to sing at elite gatherings, which prompted Vijayji to come up with the idea of naming our group the "Anth Tak Band"

The hospitality, the hosts, the food, the ambience, the music system (here thanks to Suchin for untiringly sitting through the entire day playing and adjusting the music system and ensuring the programme went on smoothly without the quality of sound being a problem, all possible only due to the magnanimity of Mr. Prem who did not join us, providing his treasure - the music system for us to use) the throwing up of the talents of the different singers and ofcourse the efficient compering by Madhu and Ashish.. All in all, a masti-bhara package which as always leaves us wanting more.

We missed some of our members yet again, Kishore Mazumdar and family, Gopi, Aditya, Narendra, Prem.....

I am pasting the comments we received after the event below this. Members do add on if any points are missed in this as well as the comments.

Dear Vijay / Poonam / Ashish / Geetika / Gopi,

It was an enjoyment at its peak. Excellent arrangement. There was a Royal treatment at Food court. Moongdhal Halwa and your song "Ab Kya Misal Doon" the title song of the day were the highlights of the day among all other goodies on that day. Kudos to everyone of you. Special mention about Ashish and Madhu for running the show. You are taking Antthak in to different league now.
It was rocking all the way.

We have felt the absence of Gopi / Aditya / Narendra / Kishore & Family. Their presence always adds more attraction.

cheers,
Venkat / Priya / Kirthana / Kaushik

Dear Vijay and fly,

An experiment that will be remembered for loooong. It was simply a superb performance by Ashish and Madhu......keep it up!!! You both compered the show beyond my imagination and it was done in style and very professionally. Every single intricacies were brought to the stage and I really admire the efforts taken to make the program a BIG success. "AM" were excellent

As far food "Food Vision", it was classy both lunch and dinner. The menu selection, whoever did was very thoughtful. The ambience was simply meant for Anthak and the sound system was well managed by Suchin.

Finally, I would like to mention that every single member, every single member of Anthak sang very very well and I sincerely appreciate the confidence level and self motivation shown to bring about the best. Anthak's best is yet to come.....we move on.....

Regards,
Chandra

Certainly we missed the members mentioned, made a difference. Viv thanx for coming, it was a real surprise to me.

Dear Vijay/Poonam/Geethika/Siddharth/Aashish,
A programme with a difference no doubt as we had people other than from our very own Anthtak. The food was yum.........right from the fruit punch all the way to the evenings alu tikki, pavbhaji, noodles n jamoon. Ab kya misaal doon was a wonderful saturday and it ended for us as usual, craving for more music.
It was a great experience for me to compere the show along with Aashish- it is one thing to sit and listen to the singers and altogether a different experience to be alert and completely active on this side- i m sure aashish will agree that it was great learning for us n thank u Vijay, for reposing that confidence in us that we would be able to pull it off.

regards,
Madhu

The best thing about the Anttak group is that in every episode there are surprises.
This group has given opportunities to those who were otherwise stage-shy, public-shy. It sure has increased the confidence in people, because no one cares of how good one sings but how much one is passionate about music, it just oozes out of everyone.

Like Venkat was pointing out, that 'we just cant go away after the show, we hang on and on and on with the family'...he's absolutely right.

The kids are marvellous!!! Ramita is the latest surprise :)

Vijay's suggestion for forming a Band is a great idea. WE JUST GOTTO DO IT!

Great show again Vijay. Thanks for the evening :)

Dear Vijay Bhai sahab, Poonam Bhabhi, Ashish, Gochi & Gopi,



Thanks for organizing this program in such a professional manner & also providing us platform for singing in front of new audience.

It really gave us more confidence in terms of stage performance.



All the arrangements made were Excellent, be it on sound system or sitting arrangement or the food court ,every arrangement was done at its best, both Lunch & dinner items were very delicious.



We missed Gopi presence & his foot tapping number which was promised him in last meet.

Thanks again for being such a GREAT HOST.

Over all you have very correctly kept the title “Ab Kya Misaal Doon”

Dear Anthtakies

We thank you all from bottom of our hearts for your participation and contribution towards programme to make a grand success.

As you are aware that we have launched ANTHTAK BAND on that day and now we should expend our arms to become more professional in this process. This is the high time that we should take Anthtak Band to a different fusion now. We should not keep our talent within ourselves. The motive to arrange this programme was to see how our team performs in front of diverse crowd who are unknown to them. This was as good as giving stage performance in front of audiences. I was closely watching the body language, performance and involvement of each and every participant of our Band and believe me it was astonishing that all our team members performed remarkably well in front of eminent crowd. Hope, you all will agree with my perception and I am sure that we all will work together to make this Dream come True. We will have one more sitting in near future to explore this possibility.

Hosting a programme requires different skill and you all will appreciate that Madhuji and Ashish did it perfectly and professionally. Other team members were also excellent in singing/dancing etc. Overall it was a great show!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kind Regards

Vijay Shrivastava,Poonam,Ashish, Geetika and Siddharth
