8th anniversary of Phase 4 of Nana Nani was celebrated in a grand manner on 3rd & 4th June,2025. The first day, 3rd June, witnessed ` An evening of Cultural delight` with a variety entertainment progamme masterminded by Vidhya Venkatachalam, the popular leader of Dream Team, which is famous for its dance-oriented programmes. Active participation by talented residents, including some Octogenarians (80+), was appreciated by the packed audience at the Meditation Hall. The event also recognized three residents for their achievements, including yours truly. I received the `Inspiring Writer Award` from Vidhya, dressed in a man`s costume for an item to follow. All three residents had missed receiving our Awards at the New Year Bash held on 2nd January, as we were not in town. Vidhya was particular that the Awards should be presented to us only at the next big function organised by the Dream Team.. A thoughtful gesture from her. This is the first public recognition I am getting as a writer.
4th
June was reserved for celebrations at the In house Mahalaxmi Temple where
different puja`s were performed from the morning, ending up with a grand
procession of the presiding deities on a big Hanuman shaped Chariot,
mounted on a Hand cart, going around the complex, visiting
very block, where devotees made their offerings, seeking divine grace!
Though such anniversary celebrations happen every year, this was the first time
I was attending. I was impressed with the amount of effort put in by both the
management and the residents to make it a grand affair!
