Last Thursday Meeting: Aug. 6, 2020

About 20 people joined for this meeting. In addition to the songs and jokes, we had a presentation by Amrit on the recent evidence (as reported in the Globe and Mail) on the effectiveness of masks, both for others as well as for the wearer.


This Thursday Meeting: Aug. 13, 2020

We will be celebrating India's Independence Day. Please come prepared with your favourite songs, stories and any thoughts and experiences you may have about India's struggle for gaining independence and how it has shaped itself since then. In addition, we will have our usual songs and poetry recital.

Invariably, there will be some questions and discussion about how coronavirus could affect our lives in the months, and perhaps years, to come.

Please let me know well in advance, if you would like to make a presentation on some topic of common interest.
