LCNL Diwali Magazine Convenor’s Report

Jai Shri Krishna, Jai Siya Ram, Jai Jalaram!
As we celebrate this auspicious occasion of Diwali, I extend my heartfelt wishes to you and your
family for a joyous Diwali and a healthy, prosperous, peaceful, and fun-filled Hindu New Year 2081.
We have consistently improved the quality of the Diwali magazine with innovative ideas over the
years, and this year is no exception. I sincerely hope it meets your expectations.
I have been actively involved in producing the last 9 editions of the Diwali Magazine, and this
is my 10th edition. In 2014, I was the convenor of the Diwali Magazine for the first time, with
Late Amratlalbhai Radia and Mansukhbhai Raichura as my mentors. I would be failing in my duty if I did not
acknowledge them for mentoring me as I have learnt so much from them. I would also like to take this opportunity
to recognize Late Kalanjibhai Thakrar for motivating me and for promoting our magazine in India, particularly at
Virpur Jalaram Mandir.
This special bulletin stands as a testament to our collective community togetherness, exemplified by the generous
support of our advertisers. Their blessings and good wishes resonate throughout this publication.
A special thanks to our printers, Liquid Bubble, for their professionalism and dedication in designing, managing,
printing and making the postage and packaging the magazine in a timely manner. My special thanks to Sanjiv
Madan and Steve Berwick for their unwavering commitment and due diligence. Their wholesome support
throughout the publication time scale is truly appreciated.
We express our sincere gratitude to all our advertisers and sponsors for their continuous support. A special thank
you to everyone who contributed their time and knowledge by writing insightful articles on many relevant subjects.

This year we had multiple subcommittees to help us deliver the magazine in time. The names listed are surname order:
Core Team: Amit Chandarana, Bharat Ghelani, Meenaben Jasani, Pratibha Lakhani, Dinesh Shonchhatra, Vinod Thakrar
Articles: Bharat Ghelani, Jeet Rughani, Urmilaben Thakkar MBE,
Support Team: Sadna Mehta, Ronak Paw, Sanjay Rughani, Dipen Tanna

Finance Team: Vishal Sodha, Dhiru Savani
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all the subcommittee members for their diligent work and dedication
in producing this high-quality magazine on time. I am extremely grateful to those who have given a significant
amount of their valuable time to this project. Without their commitment, it would not have been possible to
produce this magazine.

Whilst we have made every effort to ensure the accuracy and quality of this issue, we apologize for any errors or
oversights that may have occurred. We are always striving for quality and improvements.

On a personal note, throughout this process I feel blessed and proud to contribute to this special publication. I
would like to thank my wife Pratibha and my children for their support.

God bless you all.
