The Grand Finale... 2012

The Golden Jubilee celebration was finally celebrated on 11^th February and 12^th February 2012.

Without doubt, it was a grand affair, what with the Keralites’ taste for being culturally tasteful.. The members and the managing committee of BMS ensured the grandeur of celebration befitting the occasion was presented.

It did start with the usual hiccups as far as the Chief Guest was concerned, the team met Shri A K Anthony, our Defence minister and also met Shri, K Shankanarayanan the Governor of Maharashtra – but both of them could not come due to important engagements. The big thing is that the bouquet of BMS and the greetings of each of you members of BMS reached our Defence Minister and the Governor of Maharashtra.

Our First President of BMS – Shri K A Ooomman was the Chief Guest and the Guest of Honor was Shri M P Ramachandran – MD of Jyothy Laboratories Ltd.


The President - Mr. Shriraj Nair endorsed his commitment to the Samajam by pledging  to turn our School project to a land mark Educational and Sports Center and to ensure all our services like Diagnostic Centre and Ayurvedic Panchkarma Centre are made available to all sections of the society. 


Mr. Anil Kumar - the Secretary also addressed the gathering and gave an impromptu assessment of the years that went by and the commitment of the committee to ensure that the Samajam reach great heights not just within the Malayalis but also among other communities.

The Cultural Extravaganza on the 11^th February interspersed with the felicitation ceremony of those who were part of the Samajam for the last 25 years, went exceedingly well with the cheers and accolades of those present.

The 2^nd day celebration on 12^th February was a fund raising program, and hence we had renowned performers like Biju Narayanan, Durga Vishwanath, Salish Syam, Rekha, Kalabhavan Ravindran, Kalabhavan Pradeep Lal and their Troupe.

All those who were there enjoyed and went back home with pleasant memories of the achievements of their Samajams Golden Jubilee celebrations and those who were unfortunate to be present can update themselves with the snaps below.

Cheers to the Samajam and Cheers to all those wonderful people who put their soul and mind to ensure that a great program was hosted.

The Samajam takes great pride in thanking each one of the audience, without whom we would have lacked the enthusiasm and the vibrancy of our performance.

The  audience was  approximately 1000 people consisting of elite invitees, members and their family from in and around Borivli, and representatives from other Samajams of Kerala origin who attended the event.

The entire event was held in the beautifully scaped   lawn of Borivli Malayli Samajam’s V.K.Krishana Menon Academy, New MHB Colony, Gorai Road, Borivli (W).
