The Cultural Committee of Palanpur Samaj Kendra (PSK) organised its Annual Talent Show on July 4, 2015. The programme was titled ‘Jeevan ke Rang, Aap ke Sang’ and comprised some outstanding performances and innovative acts by members of the community.

Many years have passed since the programme was first started and during this period the committee has constantly tried to introduce innovations and novelties. This year saw many aesthetic dances, a lot of melodious music and some new introdcutions which highlighted the exceptional intellectual talents of some of the participants

Some of the highlights of the dance performances were items such as 'Aaigiri Mata' – an alluring classical dance; 'Nagada Sang Dhol Baje' – a pinnacle of Gujarati garba; and 'Shatrangi', the Colour Ballet, showcasing how colours and life are connected. Each dance represented a colour and its importance in life.

Other events such as a humourous skit and romantic as well as fun-filled harmonious songs sung by the participants added glamour to the show. There was 'Miracles of Numerology: Human Calculator', a young intellect, Somil Shah, who displayed exceptional skill in doing mathematical calculations in a fraction of time.

The audience enjoyed the show till the very end and each of the participants received a standing ovation.

Compere Suhani, a seasoned media person, conducted the programme eloquently. The dance choreographer, Hetal Karmarkar, a Natya Visharad, talented dancer and renowned choreographer, created some beautiful programmes too.

A special part of the programme was the felicitation of Navinbhai Mehta (D.Navin), Mrs Munjal (R.Munjal) and  Saroj N. Mehta, Convener of PSK's Cultural Committee for her contributions to the Samaj over the last 40 years.

The programme was a grand success due to the enthusiastic participants and the diligence and hard work of the Cultural Committee members – Saroj Mehta, Maya Kothari, Mayank Mehta, Dr Shefali Shah and Dipti Shah. The Committee aims to introduce novel and new features to the programme in future also.
