Indo American Club
The Indo-American Club’s February meeting
was designated as Game Night and it proved to be
a barrel of laughs for everyone. Deepika Advani
the Games Captain for the night, chose two games
which kept members entertained as they noshed on
snacks they had brought from home. The first game,
Twisted Charades, had teams of ten players lined up
facing in the same direction. A clue was given to the
hindmost player who tapped the player in front of
him/ her and communicated the clue silently with the
use of gestures. The clue was thus communicated, one
person at a time, to the player at the front who then
had to guess what it was. It was amazing to see how
the message was mangled as it got passed up the line.
In the second game, ten men and ten women
were paired off randomly, each couple dancing in
turn to a Bollywood tune. What a contrast in styles! Members lined up for the
Jim Lyttle was the big winner for the night, being a Twisted Charades game.

and also being voted for the Most Energetic Dancer
along with his partner Judy Gottlieb. Way to go, Jim!
Earlier in the evening, Siddharth Dalal told
members about the upcoming half marathon that he
will be running on March 15th. The event is to increase
awareness of ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s
disease, which has claimed three victims in our Canal
Walk community, one of them being Siddharth’s wife.
Members are encouraged to show their support for
the cause by attending the event if they can and by
