On Sunday May 29, the Tamil cultural and academic society of Durham held its first Seniors social gathering of 2016. It was organized by the senior wing head, Mrs. Rajesh Muttiah, at the Ontario Power Generation (OPG). The gathering was filled with performances, guest speakers and of course some home prepared delicios snacks. Guest speakers included Dr. Ranjith Mahendranathan, Ms.Bahi Krishnakanthan, Mrs Vana Dineshkumar, and Mr & Mrs Poopalasingam. Dr.Ranjith Mahendranathan, who is a well known chiropractor in Ajax spoke about healthy eating and tips for reducing joint pains. Performances included a bharathanatyam dance piece by Srimathi Anushiya Sandrasegaram’s students and Aparana Atputharajah, who serenaded the crowd with her soft precious vocals by singing a classic cinema song, ‘Chitu Kuruvi’. Each senior had the pleasure of introducing themselves to the ‘senior-seniors’ and ‘junior-seniors’ that attended. The seniors were able to mingle, share some laughs, and reminisce on their days back home. Mr & Mrs Poopalasingam, entertain the audience with songs and poems, which was very interesting and everyone participated and enjoyed the singing. The seniors were also given the opportunity to participate in some yoga exercises conducted by Mrs. Vana Dineshkumar. This allowed them to feel more relaxed and at ease. They were able to learn some useful and easy breathing exercises to help them calm their mind, body and soul.
