Aasman Ke Niche : Moonlight Dinners at Magnolia


Well, rubber finally hit the road and we had our first moonlight dinner last night with 56 Magnolians in the 4 month to 79 year age range got together in the amphi-theater for a Beer & Biryani theme. Rain gods were kind and it was a nigth of no rains and it was pleasant. What followed was 4 hours of fun and frolik and games and music. We even had Girish read a poem written specifically for the occassion. We had two Magnolia children perform music. The pictures have been uploaded to the web album at the link below.


There were three families that have not yet moved in. In all, a great evening of getting to know each other and some good time ...

Sunday Brunches : Tasty Munches

23 Sep,2009 : Magnolians seem like a bunch of hapy people, always ready for a byte, a cup of coffee and loads of conversation. So, with some inspiration from Sangeeta (C042) and some instant support from Anuradha (B124)
we decided to have a Sunday brunch on this nice warm morning .




What we had was a hefty Sunday brunch and some hearty cricket ( courtesy Rahul Mittal of the sharp sense of humour fame). There was Ravi Idly, Pongal, Kachori, McAlloo Tikki, Fruit Juice, Gulab Jamoon, Fruit Salad, Malbar Ghee Halwa, Sandwitches, Coffee, Chips ..... and a bunch of chaps really full after 2 hours under a warm Sun.
Its not just the food thing : Magnolia is the place we have all chosen to put our hearts and money in to make it our home. There is a lot of positive energy here and some great company. There is already a sizeable childrens' group emerging. The men have found their comaradarie and the women their likeminded group.
Lets make this a happy, throbbing with energy, great living place.

Magnolia distribution lists ... for your info

Hi folks
There are two forums we are using for information sharing at magnolia ....
1) the Yahoo groups. http://groups.yahoo.com/sobha-magnilia
the mail id for this group is sobha-magnolia@yahoogroups.com
you would be receiving a lot of mail on this and a lot of interaction on this as well. I took the mail list from Sobha and have been adding you all to the group. I should be done with the addition of all by tonight

2) Commonfloor
go to www.commonfloor.com and look for Sobha Magnolia
This is an amazing site that caters to the information, interaction needs of apartment owners. Vignesh discovered this and we are a user here.
All the mail ids of Magnolians, that i got from Sobha CRM have already been added here. We will use this for posting information.

3) my blog : there is nothing official about this. This is the blog i will keep writing in completely in my personal capacity. I started this very early and i am hoping this would be a chronicle for those who move in late or join the groups late.

with these three mechansims, we are hoping we will have enough information dissimination mechanisms at Manolia

Frantically catching up. ....
