Arguably, the most emotionally touching event organized during the 400 years completion celebrations of Rajkot city was a ‘Senior Citizens’ Old Sports’ meet, organized by the Divya Bhaskar daily, Rajkot.
Believe it or not, more than forty senior (and prominent) citizens of Rajkot gathered together and played – now long forgotten – games like Moy Dandiyo, Nagol, Theri and Chopat. Indeed a befitting tribute to our Rajkot city when its 401st birthday was being celebrated!
The long list of distinguished |
Rajkotians-players included Vajubhai Vala (Gujarat Finance Minister), Ashwinbhai Mehta (Congress Leader), Manubhai Bagdai, Lalitbhai Ramjiani, Dilsukhbhai Sheth, Tapubhai Limbasiya, Kantibhai Vaid and scores of others.
With the well-renowned Gujarati screen comedian Ramesh Mehta – a senior citizen of Rajkot himself – loose on the microphone all throughout the event, can there be any doubts that the ‘fun factor’ was doubled for all present? ;-) Check the pics below and on the following albums for all the action.
