The Annual Get-together organized by the Captain Colony Welfare Association on 10th December, 2016, began with a traditional welcome in the form of a ‘Gara Walk’ with the theme ‘Upholding our Past whilst Unfolding our Future’. The highlight of the evening was the musical non-stop ‘retro Bollywood medley’ put up by the residents from the ages of five to forty years, choreographed by Michelle Anklesaria. Chief Guest, Neville Daroga, ace weight-lifter and a Shri Chhatrapati and Gaurav Puraskar Awardee, as well as a practicing Company Secretary, appreciated the performances and added, “The colony that dances together, stays together”, alongside his wife, Navaz, the President’s Gold Cord Guide who represented India in the World Jamboree as Guide Captain.

BPP Chairman, Yazdi Desai and Anahita Desai graced the occasion as Guests of Honour, with BPP Trustee, Viraf Mehta, joining in. Special Guest, Mangal Prabhat Lodha was felicitated by BPP Chairman Yazdi Desai for tarring the in-roads of our colony at no cost. Ably compered by Armine Mehta and Farzeen Anklesaria, the event awarded certificates and cash prizes to the colony kids for excelling in sports and academics.
