E-Samachar April 2022 Edition
President’s Message
Namaskaru members!Yes, we did it! We held our first live event since the pandemic began. It was such a pleasure to see so many of our old friends and to meet new families at the Samsar Padvo event on April 2nd. What a treat it was to be face-to-face with real people again! Over 200 people attended in their finest Indian attire, mingling, chatting, and taking pictures and selfies. The adorable next-generation OKAians also made new friends, prancing around and jabbering among themselves. With their outstanding performance in the ‘Tribute to Lata and Bappi’ segment, OKA Stars raised the bar for the evening.
Cheers to a new beginning! We hope you enjoy this April edition of our e-samachar
