The Hugging Club of India (HCI) is in the forefront when it comes to unique themes for sessions. On Sunday 21st April, 2024 HCI organised a cooking meet at Dr. Vani Kulhalli’s Vile Parle East clinic.

Here’s an account of the happenings in the words of one of the member participant.

Never miss an opportunity to be at a place where 20 guys are expected to come together. ☺️ Thanks to Dr. Vani Kulhalli for offering her clinic for our meet and thanks to HCI for organising an interesting meet-up session.

Some of the highlights –

1. Everyone was asked to associate one’s name with some dish.
   
2. There were activities like ‘Spin the Bottle’ with Q&A, some nicely sung songs and a good dance performance.
   
3. Guys came out with some of their ‘hard to share’ feelings.
   
4. A lot of them showed dedication and prepared delicious Bhel.
   
5. There were sweets, dhoklas, a variety of fried munches; Cool “Aam Panna” was a welcome drink and kept doing rounds during the entire session.
   
6. There were some spontaneous jokes and there were some healthy disagreements.
   
7. At times it hardly looked like anyone was depressed, though everybody knew, everyone had stress issues of one kind or the other. That implicit understanding is a natural takeaway at HCI meets.
   
8. While problems/issues remain, HCI comes across as a much-needed support structure.
   

Thanks to everyone for attending.

Phir milenge !
