MSAP organizes Pune Thabal Chongba – 2011 – Press Release from MSAP
The Manipur Students Association, Pune (MSAP) organized a Thabal Chongba festival at Dr. Ambedhkar College, Camp Pune, on 20th Feb, 2011, as part of its Annual Sports Meet – 2011. The program was a grand success; it was attended by more than 500 people including students and families who are staying in Pune and nearby places like Mumbai, Nagar and Nashik.
This time, the sound system was rocking like a Rock Show and everybody was thrilled with the rhythm. The Tube light and Halogen light was bright enough to give the Mood and Ambience of a true Thabal Chongba.

As always, Senior Members of PUMA, a Group of senior Pune-Manipuri’s, were not only present but also working behind the scene, taking care to make the Thabal Chongba more beautiful.
Many praised the show. “This is the best Thabal organized by MSAP in recent years.” All the student organizations of North-East States in Pune were invited for the festival. However, very few of those invitees turned up on that day.
One enthusiastic participant comments, “I won’t miss this Thabal though I have practical exam tomorrow morning. This is the most awaited event at Pune.”

One of the senior member of PUMA expressed, “This year’s Thabal was great! I couldn’t contribute to the arrangement, so, I thought, I can at least make it successful by actually participating”
People of all age group: from two years old kids to forty five years men/women participated in the Thabal. It was the one of most excitement filled evening at Pune.
One memorable part of the event was, during the interval, we felicitated Mr. Sanjoy & Suranjoy, Gold Medalists in Boxing, in recently concluded Commonwealth Games – 2011.
The credit for the success of this event goes to all the selfless volunteers who worked sincerely and with dedication. Mention may be made here – on the day of the Thabal, to setup the ground, light and sound, some of the volunteers were working from morning till afternoon, just with a cup tea and few pieces of biscuits/cookies. Even after everybody left, these volunteers remained behind to give a finishing touch to the event. Everybody came, saw, danced and had a fun filled day.

The event came to a beautiful end at 10.00 pm with a huge round of applause from every one, leaving with smile and happiness on everyone’s face. Everybody danced, clapped, cheered and rejoiced.
We extend warm and sincere thanks to all the Manipuri’s and Special invitees from other states, who were a part of the program. Your presence added more values towards the successful flow of the event.
