Swapanji

Congratulations. Today program was well done. Most of the people I have interacted enjoyed the program. In my opinion crowd was over 7000.

In my opinion YLPD event was the best one. I am glad that we are focusing on our youth. This is a difficult task but very rewarding in long run.

Hindu Students Assn members were very happy with their booth. I am glad that at least we have one participation from second generation. I have enclosed picture.

Note: Pls send the press release to India Abroad and PTI reporter lalitkjha@gmail.com

ICC ROCKS!

Entire team under the presidency of Swapan, Chair Rajiv, Co-Chair Jasmeeta set the India Fest standards to the highest. The crowd was well maintained from the beginning to the end.

When you look back from where ICC started, today we all should be proud of reaching the milestones one by one to say "ICC - TODAY YOU ARE THE ASSOCIATION OF ALL GREATER HOUSTON INDIANS".

Honestly, I couldn't contribute anything to India Fest because of my prior commitments, but what the heck, you really don't need me, it's the ICC team that proved that one can do without the other. The process is working..Hats off to you all.

Hi Swapan/Jasmeeta,

Please accept my Hearty Congratulations for organizing the awesome Indian Independence event on 15th August 2010. I am aware how much efforts it takes to organize events of this magnitude especially when you have so many battles to fight apart from the main program! It was a very well appreciated event & I am sure everyone had fun! It couldn't have been done without the active support & participation of dedicated individuals like you!

Thanks & regards!

Dear President Swapan and the Entire ICC Team,

I want to congratulate you all for a highly successful IndiaFest event that you just completed:

• The selection and the performance of the emcees was excellent.
• Quawali item presented by the ICC Directors, Trustees, and other participants was a rare treat, indeed.
• Jasmeta Singh did an outstanding job on many of the items she participated in and choreographed. Her talents never cease to amaze me.
• The Bollywood Segment, recreating the eras from 60's to the modern times, was very entertaining, thanks to the hard work by Surendrer Talwar, Jasmeeta Singh, and others.
• The talented couple, Vale and Nimmi Subramaniyam provided the usual excellent entertaining cultural program.
• The Tarang Magazine was put together extremely well, thanks to the dedicated efforts of Shobana Murantee and Kesava Chakka.
• I am probably missing some of the other names who also contributed immensely to the sucess of the program.

However, in spite of the above "minor" hiccups, the event was a resounding success, overall. Congratulations to all.
