The celebrations started off at Mohini and Bijen’s house with a Hawan and Puja. The Hawan was conducted by Pundit S N Hari Prasad and Pundit Sadanand Sharma. The day was a very emotional and a happy occasion where many family members met each other after a very long time, while some of us met each other for the first time. Every family member got together and helped with the chores, while mingling and reminiscing the old days.\u00a0 Many of us came from interstate and overseas, and we felt at home with family members who we stayed with.<\/p>\n
Some family got together at the Function centre to setup the AV\/TV and the decorations, tests were done, and all systems were go for the evening. The function started with the opening speech by Kamal Dhaliwal who was the MC for the evening.\u00a0 He introduced the three Senior Bachus who arrived in a Convertible Mercedes to the function Centre.\u00a0 Parshu Bachu was led in the function centre with Usha, followed by Sakina Bachu who was with Raj and finally Mrs Nandlal Bachu was escorted by Ravi and Suzie.\u00a0 They were welcomed by the guests and the family members and were later presented with gifts from the family.<\/p>\n\n
We gathered at the Park for a picnic.\u00a0 There was food, drinks and a lot of hangover from the previous night.\u00a0 But\u00a0 it was all a casual time to catch up for the overseas and interstate visitors.\u00a0 The weather was pleasant, with kids playing in the park, and bbq sizzling on the hot plates.\u00a0\u00a0 There were so many hugs and kisses and another day for us to reminisce the past.<\/p>\n
