The Grand BRU Party
Bridge "R" Us is a group of bridgers on BBO primarily from Mumbai. The group, run by Gunjan Singh and Fali Tamboli, has been successfully conducting events for all bridge lovers in India for the last 21 months or so. Recently, they decided to have a meet up of all their constituents at the Yacht Club, Mumbai on the 2nd of June.
While I am not an active (or even dormant) participant in their activities, I responded to the open invitation primarily to meet old friends, a lot of whom don't play much live bridge any more. I have to say I was really glad I attended. The party was a fun event, the likes of which I have not seen in a long time (even before Covid) and all those present enjoyed themselves thoroughly as you can see from the video below.
There was a 'Mr. BRU' competition held for the gents who sashayed down a ramp of sorts and answered a few delightful questions selected by our host. The event was won by Mr. Rustom Thanawala a very popular bridge player.
The drinks and dance went on till past 9 pm after which people went to partake of the sumptuous dinner provided. All in all a grand time was had by one and all.
Fali Tamboli also donated several bridge books from his collection, some of which were truly fascinating (judging from their titles)
We all look forward to the next such gathering.
We really had a good time
Got to meet a lot of new bridge players whose name I had only heard thank you once again!!👍
It was wondeful to see everyone once again. Glad that all those present had a ball! Hope we can have another one soon! Someone has to challenge Rustom for the Mr. BRU title.
