session of dandiya to round up the evening was organized by the Hindus of Greater Houston. Kher, took seconds to connect with the gathering and he launched into a one hour “conversation” with the gathering using his brilliant storytelling skills, snippets of poetry, anecdotes and rich wit to deliver his serious message - that “failure is an event, not a person.” Industrialist Jugal Malani draped a shawl around Kher while Sushma Pallod tied a rakhi to him to mark Raksha Bandhan. Other highlights of the celebrations included the children’s costume contest where little children dressed as little Krishnas and Radhas, a cultural dance segment, food, apparel and organization booths. A 25 feet in diameter vibrant Rangoli by Sangita Bhutada with the theme of “makhan chor” welcomed visitors to the center.
