On a beautiful evening of autumn, we were treated to a delightful evening of Karaoke singing at the ISW community hall on Friday September 12. The day coincided with the birthday celebration of Mr. Suhas Shah, a longtime ISW member, who generously sponsored the evening. Just like before, this fourth celebration of Manoranjan – where singing is fun ®️ was a grand success, marked by enthusiastic participation of about thirty singers and an immersed audience who listened, danced to many of the songs and enjoyed themselves.

The evening was dedicated primarily to the songs acted on screen by the famous Shammi Kapoor. We also had songs sung by the famous Suraiya , from pre-independence era, an almost forgotten time, when films, just gaining synchronized audio capabilities were called “talkies”.  

Along with our budding ISW artists, some of whom sang on stage for the first time, professional singers like our own Ms. Manisha Parmar, Mr. Debashis Sengupta and Guruji, graced the evening.

The master of ceremony, Narayanji’s Shero Sayari and humor bridged the gaps between the songs quite well and helped keep the audience stay engaged till the very end. Sharatji infused the dancers with a lot of energy and got the floor going.

The evening concluded with a sumptuous dinner and an announcement to meet again in October. A lot of people made this event a success, right from setting up chairs to bringing snacks and creating positive vibes.

As before, Manoranjan – where singing is fun ®️ lived up to its reputation of bringing the community of music lovers of all talent levels and ages together in a fun way.
