Hence I request radioidli managers to send emails to all persons whose email ID is with you, so that many Konkani people would be aware of important KONKANI FUNCTIONS in advance.

The report was vivid and comprehensive. Though physically away, I was mentally there during the Sammelan. Glad to share that a few of my relatives also could participate and enjoy the event. Let many such gatherings occur and bloom ! Jai Konkani, Jai Samaj !! Best regards Ramesh Pai It is nice to see the event getting reported in radio idli. The report was vivid and comprehensive.

Due to some un-referencible(I know its not a word in the english dictionary - am sure you get the point) reasons, I attended the 2008 sammelan and I am delighted that I did. The top positives of the sammelan were the top-class entertainment, punctuality (absolutely no IST standards customarily followed by most desi events) and superlative management (ofcourse free booze ;) which am sure will not be an attraction to many). The entertainment programs were mind blowing, very creative and designed to perfection. The food was yummy and there was absolutely no wait at the buffet tables. And at the end of the event, 100s of people were unwilling to desert the Dance Floor even past the midnight. It was also good to see Mr.K.V.Kamath and president Mr.Ramesh Kamath being on the dance floor till the shutdown. The 3 days of sammelan flew past and we had no clue how fast they went by. Now I am indeed looking forward the 2010 one at Chicago; I am sure there would be every attempt to surpass the high standard laid out in Santa Clara.
