‭spread happiness and love with the‬
‭people closest to your heart.‬‭As we‬
‭share our blessings with others during‬
‭Diwali, let us remember the universal‬
‭message it carries and work together‬
‭to make the world a brighter and better‬
‭place for all.‬

‭VILAKKU‬ ‭●‬ ‭Lighting up Vilakku‬ ‭ :‬‭As Diwali is the festival of lights, I’d‬
S
‭like to call on Dr Ebenezer Chitra‬
‭Fabian, Dr Brinnell, Dr Mohammed‬
‭Irfan, Dr Suni, Dr l and Dr Justin to‬
‭inaugurate our event by lighting up the‬
‭vilakku‬
‭(Mangala Oliveesum Deepavali)‬
‭_______________________________‬

‭ :‬‭Thank you Drs. Now Subi, before‬

V
‭we start I think we should remind‬
‭everyone why we celebrate Diwali.‬

‭As we know it is much more than just‬

 ‭the festival of lights. It's a time to‬
‭celebrate the triumph of light over‬
‭darkness. We're done battling our inner‬
‭demons. And now we're welcoming all‬
‭that good energy and positive vibes,‬
‭right Subi?‬

‭On the day of Diwali, loved ones‬

‭gather to worship Goddess Lakshmi,‬
‭the Hindu goddess of wealth and‬
‭prosperity. People light diyas and‬
‭candles to welcome her since it's‬
‭believed that she favors bright and‬
‭clean surroundings. (spring cleaning‬
‭day)‬

‭ :‬‭Now we don’t want to bore the‬

S
‭audience by rambling on about Diwali,‬
‭they’ll learn a lot more about the event‬
‭from our Kahoot game later on so do‬
‭look forward to that. Now without‬
‭further ado I’d like to call up on Dr‬
‭Ebenezer Chitra Fabian to give us a‬
‭welcoming speech‬

‭DR SPEECH‬ ‭●‬ D

‭ r Ebenezer Chitra‬ ‭ :‬‭Thank you Dr. Chitra for your‬
S
‭Fabian‬ ‭wonderful words, what an amazing‬
‭way to start our event. Next I’d like to‬
‭call upon our Club advisor Mr Daren to‬
‭share a few words.‬
