Congratulations

India has been holding the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD) conferences annually since 2003, usually in New Delhi and in the state capitals in alternate years. This is a gathering of NRI’s from all over the world. Many Sindhis do attend this.

In 2007, Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister S. Jayakumar , who was the chief guest at the PBD that year, proposed holding a gathering of the Indian diaspora in Singapore in order to give a more regional focus to the meet. With the Singapore Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SICCI), India's Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) joining hands, the Singapore PBD will be the first time that the event is being held outside India.

The conference will provide a platform for non-resident Indians, especially those based in Southeast Asia, to network with business leaders from India and explore the role that NRIs can play in India's emergence as a global economic power.

In a reflection of its high regard for ties with India, all four of Singapore's top leaders will address the Indian diaspora on the opening day of the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas to be held here from October 8 to Oct 10, 2008-2012.

While Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong will formally inaugurate the two-day conference on October 10, Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong will host a lunch dialogue with the participants. Later, an interactive session has been scheduled with Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, while President S.R. Nathan will be the chief guest at the dinner for the delegates. This is setting a precedent according to Ong Keng Yong, former secretary-general of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and  also a former high commissioner of Singapore to India.

"Singapore is a regional hub for the Asia-Pacific. Holding the conference here will serve to bring together business leaders of Indian origin from all over the region," said Vijay Iyengar, chairman of SICCI, who heads the organizing committee of the Singapore PBD.

Indian Commerce Minister Kamal Nath, Science and Technology Minister Kapil Sibal, Overseas Indian Affairs Minister Vayalar Ravi and Communications and IT Minister A. Raja will be addressing the conference along with numerous other high profile speakers including Dr. Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change, and Sam Pitroda, chairman of India's Knowledge Commission.

Congratulations.

FEBRUARY HAPPENINGS

I have been approached by Mr. Vishnu Hathiramani of Manila to be the correspondent of Singapore. It is definitely not an easy task but then we have sometime to sacrifice our time for the community, and more so this is for the cause of Sindhis worldwide.

Congratulations and best wishes to Vishnu from my hubby Manu and me.

It is nice to know that SINDHITATTLER will be selecting 10 outstanding Sindhis or Sindhi organizations that have done well for the Sindhi community or image. Our Singapore magazine CHATIO is the first such organization selected for the month of March. Congratulations to the CHA TIO TEAM. YOU MAKE US PROUD.

Let me start with my report now.

A Great Valentines Party

There was a joint valentine’s party held by the fun loving “Ekta” and “Anmol” group on the 16th of Feb at Merbau Bar. It was an exciting night particularly for some of the couples as they had to showcase their hottest “assets” to their spouses while playing a game followed by good music by Dj Mabir spinning the latest Bollywood and English tunes. Everyone was dressed in “hot red, sexy pink and dashing black” - the theme of the night. It was a well-organized party that lasted to the wee hours of the morning.

Singapore Ferris wheel

The world's largest Ferris wheel on Singapore's waterfront (similar to the London Eye) commemorated its inaugural “spin” on Valentines Day. A few Sindhi couples proposed to their partners with the feeling of being on top of the world, literally. What an awesome experience! Each Capsule has the capacity to carry 28 people- imagine this to be the venue for the next kitty group party! Welcome to the Singapore flyer- a 360 degree experience!

Youth Olympics 2010

Yes that’s right; we are the 1st South-east Asian country to win the bid for the next Youth Olympics that will be held in Sunny Singapore in 2010! This is indeed an achievement for Singapore and we are very proud to have won the bid. Some Sindhi athletes will also be part of this Olympics.
