Anthtak 35 was a very different experience from
all the other meets. This was one meet which had not only our usual music,
masti and food but also a multitude of wishes on a very special occasion- the
house warming of our dear Imtiaz, Rekha and Khushi.
This home has been constructed
by this family with such dedication and planning that there is no wonder the
house is so marvellous. Plenty of appreciation to Rekha and Imtiaz for having
gone into a lot of minute details in designing the house with a lot of
aesthetic appeal.
The grihapravesam religious function was held on the 1st
June with family members and they had arranged for the get together on
Saturday, the 2nd for friends with dinner. There is something
extremely heartwarming and touching about their home too, for in the master
plan of the house is a special ‘Antthak room’, three cheers to them for this.
This is specially dedicated to music so that our enthusiasm and fervour can
reverberate in those four walls and this thoughtful gesture is proof of the
true love for music and the camaraderie that we share as a family.
It is this
feeling that made Imtiaz plan a music meet amidst the busy schedule of puja,
invitations, planning- catering, decorations etc for the occasion and alongside
the last minute finishing work in the construction. His wish was that on the
first day when the Anthtak family steps into his home, we must have our music
session. This is not as easy as it sounds for he had other invitees to attend
to and check out that all other arrangements are in order. But here in comes
the togetherness of Anthtak. Every member present waited eagerly and if in our
normal meets we have gaana phir khaana, here we had khaana and then gaana. As
usual, what a spread it was-
welcome drink of fruit punch, mint
shikhanji and starters- spring rolls, corn cutlets and paneer kababs. For the main course, there was
sweet corn soup, tomato basil soup, Tawa fry, Panner kadai, dal makhani, chole,
veg biryani, raita, plain rice, rasam, papad, salad, pickle and a noodles
counter. For dessert there was fruit salad and gulab jamoon, followed by paan.
And
if any of you are wondering how can one sing after such a heavy meal, Anthtak
has the spirit. Manak ji started the programme with ‘Na jhatko zulf se paani’
and then the fever caught on. Special thanks to Kishore Majumdar for bringing
the Magic Box along.
We were all very happy to welcome the latest member of our
Anthtak family, Shagun, the beautiful daughter of Pankaj and Pinky, the two
month bundle of joy attending her first Anthtak meet. When we bade goodbye
around 2 a.m. after a round of chai beyond midnight, we left behind a spirit of
happiness along with loads of wishes for
Imtiaz and his family. We truly wish you a happy and contented life of
fulfillment in your new home, Imtiaz, Rekha and Khushi.
