CHICAGO: Masti-Karaoke and DCA presented Valentine’s Party on Saturday, February 16 at Sher-E-Punjab, in Downers Grove, a south west suburb of Chicago.
The event, a sold out show with over 100 people in the audience, had the singers from Masti-Karaoke mesmerizing the enthusiastic crowd for over four hours. With passion and love filling the air, couples danced to their hearts content. With red heart shaped balloons symbolizing deep and undying promises of love, the evening presented a romantic feel.
Celebrated February 14 every year, the Valentine’s Day is synonymous with expressions of love, friendship and bonding. It is named after Saint Valentine, a patron of love. “In our hectic schedule we hardly get quality time to spend with each other,” observed Sunil Shah former president of New FIA. It is a good excuse to go back in time and get the romance back, he added.
The evening started at 7:00 pm with a social hour featuring some tasty appetizers and premium drinks. Master of Ceremony for the occasion was Mujeeb Ahmed. He kicked off the program by welcoming everyone to the Valentine’s Party.
Singers Imran Durrani, Shikha Tandon, Jency Elakkatt, Muzaffar Qureshi, Mukram Bhai, Rashid Hameed, Mohammad Shafi and Imaad Ahmed mesmerized the audience with their gifted voices. The impressive and noteworthy thing about this talented group of singers is their dedication and love for music. The singers rendered top Bollywood songs from Asha Bhosle to Shreya Goshal and Kishore Kumar to Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. DJ Monachan Polakkattil did an excellent job keeping up with all the demands by so many different singers at the Valentine’s Party.
