Bharatbhai is the youngest son of the Vakharia family based in
Valsad India. He was born in 1953 to Mrs Harigangaben & Mr
Jagjivan Fakir Vakharia. He studied and attained the Metric S.S.C .
He was part of the Valsad Mandal and participated in all the
community events, including Navratri. Bharatbhai came to London in
December 1978 and later married Ms Bhavna Pranjivan Khatri in 1979.
They have three children Arti, Alpa and Nayan. After working for 10
years, he started his own Dry Cleaning business which has been
successfully running for over 20 years. For around 29 years,
Bharatbhai had been actively involved in the SKA UK Mandal. During
that period he had taken the post of Newsletter editor, Secretary
and President. He has always been and continues to be involved in
social events, especially Social Evenings and Navratri. At the age
of 40, Bharatbhai became the Vyakti Vishesh for the 50th Mahotsav
in Valsad, India. His hobbies includes watching cricket, cooking,
especially meat dishes, singing and listening to old songs as well
as watching Indian Idol.

Dreams Remember Your ABC's Avoid negative sources, people, places,
things and habits. Believe in yourself. Consider things from every
angle.
Don't give up and don't give in. Enjoy life today,
yesterday is gone, tomorrow may never come. Family and friends
are hidden treasures, seek them and enjoy their
riches. Give more than you planned to.
Hang on to your dreams. Ignore those who try to
discourage you. Just do it. Keep trying no matter how hard it
seems, it will get easier. Love yourself first and
most. Make it happen. Never lie, cheat or steal, always strike a
fair deal. Open your eyes and see things as they
really are. Practice makes perfect. Quitters never win and
winners never quit. Read, study and learn about everything
important in your life.
Stop procrastinating. Take control of your own destiny.
Understand yourself in order to better understand others.
Visualize it. Want it more than anything. Accelerate your
efforts. You are unique of all God's creations, nothing can
replace YOU. Zero in on your target and go for it!

50th Mahotsav update: The executive and sub-committee are busy
organising the Mahotsav, from the catering, hall hire, programmes,
invitations, floral tributes, costumes, raffles, trophies, stage,
lighting, speeches, everything to make this Mahotsav a memorable
one.
As you are all probably aware, the Mahotsav will be held at the
Grand Hall, Wembley Stadium Complex on the 3rd October 2010. The
Mahotsav will be starting at 10.30am prompt with a break for snacks
between 1-2pm, Indian tea around 4pm and the entertainment will
finish around 7pm.Then onwards, the Grand Hall's bar will be open
for you to purchase drinks. Thereafter vegetarian and
non-vegetarian food will be served courtesy of SKA. The event will
close at 10.00pm.
Security: Wembley Stadium conducts a very strict entry code,
members will have to go through a security check upon entering the
stadium. As the stadium is spread over a vast area, entering the
hall will take some time, so we urge all members to arrive by 9.30
am. This will allow ample time to make your way to the Grand Hall
and settle into your seat.
Parking: Following a breakdown in negotiations with stadium
authorities, the committee have decided against using the stadium
car park and opted for an alternative option further down the
concourse. We advise all members to drop their families close to
the stadium entrance and then park their vehicles at the designated
car park. We also urge Car Pooling or Sharing to reduce number of
car parking spaces used. Location map and permit of the car park
will be sent with the invites. Each family bringing a car will be
allocated a prepaid parking voucher. To restrict the amount of
vehicles, the committee expect each vehicle to accommodate 5 family
members. Those families with more than 5 members wishing to bring
another vehicle will be issued with a second permit on request
using the booking form.
If you have unexpected overseas guess, then please inform us as
soon as possible.
This Mahotsav will be held on a RSVP bases only, therefore
please fill out the form below, confirming members attending and
parking voucher required. The deadline for reservations is 22nd
August 2010.
Programmes: If you wish to participate in the Mahotsav, please
book early to avoid disappointment.
Contact Jitendra Pravin Khatri on 07956 488155 or at
[email protected] by 22nd August 2010. Please make sure you
speak to Jitendra personally so there are no mis-understandings,
missed messages, etc.
We have allocated 25 programmes for the day. Please note that if
it is a non-cultural event then you must have at least 4
participants. Please confirm the following details: Full names of

Shree Kshatriya Youth Association UK - Dissolved It is with
regret, we have to inform you, that the Shree Kshatriya Youth
Association (SKY) has now been formally dissolved. There has been a
lack of interest from the youth of our community to come forward
and form a new committee. This has been a very long running issue
and finally the inevitable has had to happen. SKA would like to
thank all those who contributed to SKY from its inception. We now
hope that the youth of our community will contribute their
services to the growth of SKA.

Cricket BBQ Party 2010 held on Sunday 4th July 2010 at: The Wilf
Slack Sports Ground This year’s Cricket and Kebab Party was well
attended with approximately 280 people in attendance. The community
were blessed with gorgeous sunny weather, with temperatures soaring
to almost 30 degrees!
Once the newsletter came out announcing this event, over 280
places were filled in a matter of weeks. For many, this was
obviously an event not to be missed.
For children, entertainment there was a Bouncy Castle with two
slides, which was a delight for youngsters who jumped around to
their hearts content. Unfortunately there were not enough cricket
players to warrant a proper cricket match but devoted members
managed to put bat to ball and enjoyed themselves.
The well stocked pavilion bar did a roaring trade, as staff
managed to serve quantities of pints to the thirsty members. An Ice
Cream Van attended to sell ice cream and lollies to help quench
everyone thirst.
We would also like to thank the community for adhering to the no
alcohol policy, as a result of which we will continue to hire the
grounds in the future at favourable rates.
On the whole, most members had a great time. We would like to
take this opportunity to sincerely apologise to any members who
were dissatisfied with the delay and quality of the food.
