Jubai, May 20: Goodinabali Welfare Association (GWA), organised a unique get-together of Bearys ‘Sandola-2012’ at the sprawling United Beach Camp, in Jubail, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

As a continuation of its tradition, GWA made the event, a true ‘sandola’ (enjoyment) for the Bearys from Mangalroe, as enthusiastic audience sat glued to their seat to enjoy the fun filled afternoon.

The entertainment began after the customary Qur’an recitation and welcome speech by the president of the association Anwar Hussain GM. The spectators were awakened from thelethargy of sumptuous meals arranged by GWA when the anchor of the programme posed them an ice- breaker tricky question to answer.

A series of funny and speculating answers to the tricky question really set the tone for the fun filled prime time show of ‘Sandola’ between 1:30 pm and 4:30 pm.

The event included entertainment competitions such as ‘biscuit eating’, ‘city hunt’, ‘dumb charade’, ‘photo quiz’, ‘passing the lemons’ and ‘balloon game’.

It was a thorough laughing session for the audience when teams performed the task of eating biscuits kept on their forehead without the assistance of hand. People emptied their laughing capacities when ‘dumb charade’ performance of some of the participants reached the highest level of fun and wit. The photo quiz questions posed intermittently kept the audience in tenterhooks.

However, the ultimate attraction of the day was the flash ‘Duff’ performance by the Goodinabali Team which executed the sudden and unnoticed sequence of the ‘Duff’ performance in a perfect splendor tuned to the melody of devotional Islamic lyrics.

After a 15 minutes of Asr prayer break, people were seen rushing back to their seats to enjoy the remaining entertainment items of the day. An extended session of the laughter filled pick and act session after the break took the people to extreme end of exhaustion.

After the tea- break, the outdoor games started at 4:30 pm. The people who were tired of the regular volley ball and cricket games were enthused by the traditional ‘lagor’ game of Tulunadu. The youngsters participated enthusiastically in the game of ‘lagori’ organized by sports coordinators Mr. Rizwan, Mr. Abdul Latheef and Mr. Abdul Jabbar. ‘Pot Breaking’ drew the usual enthusiastic crowd. The penalty shootout drill gave the sports fans the much needed additional game requirement.

The ceremony was anchored by Kamarudeen with the help of GM Ameer, Sameeullah, Shafiullah, IqbalBangadi, Nissar and others. Asif Goodinabali and Saleem GK along with GM Anwar Hussain coordinated the entire program. A dedicated team of volunteers lead by Sadiq GM facilitated various activities of the day.

Ladies too had a wonderful festive day at the women’s section of the sprawling campus. Variety of programs were conducted for women in a fun filled environment. Power point presentation based quiz programme and other some other screen based games ably conducted by the women’s wing of GWA with the help of volunteers drawn from some other organizations. Children actively participated in Qur’an recitation competition as well as spot quiz competition.

The joyful events of the day concluded at around 7.00 pm in a valedictory session in which prizes were distributed to winners. Raffle draw provided opportunity for the participants to win various prizes and coupons.

GWA is a community welfare oriented committee of Jubail – Dammam based Beary expatriates from Goodinabali, a small Muslim neighborhood near BC Road in Bantwal taluk.

Prominent NRI community leader SM Syed Khalilur Rehman, fondly known as CA Khalil, passed away in Dubai on Thursday at the age of 86 after a brief illness.

Khalil had been admitted to Aster Hospital in Mankhool on Tuesday after experiencing severe leg weakness. Despite the best efforts of the medical team, he succumbed to a double heart attack that worsened his condition, his son Rais Ahmed confirmed.

The news of his passing has sent waves of grief across communities, particularly in his hometown of Bhatkal, Karnataka, where he was a celebrated figure. Tributes have been pouring in on social media, highlighting his significant contributions to international trade, social service, and education.

A Legacy of Leadership and Service

A chartered accountant by profession, Khalil was a founding member of the Dubai chapter of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), where he served as chairman from 1987 to 1994. His illustrious career included key leadership roles, such as general manager of Khaleej Times, group executive director of the Ilyas and Mustafa Galadari Group, and vice-chairman of the Jashanmal Group of Companies.

He also chaired Maadhyama Communications and Sahil Online, a web-based news platform, and was a director and trustee of several media companies and charitable organisations in Dubai and India.

A Champion for Education and Philanthropy

Khalil’s impact extended far beyond his professional achievements. As president and general secretary of Anjuman Hami-e-Muslimeen, he played a pivotal role in the development of educational institutions, including schools and colleges in Bhatkal and surrounding areas. His dedication to social upliftment earned him recognition from the Government of Karnataka, which honoured him with a prestigious award for his philanthropic contributions.

A Life Celebrated

The Bhatkal Muslim Khaleej Council (BMKC) recently released a documentary celebrating Khalil’s remarkable life and service to the community—a testament to his enduring legacy.

CA Khalil is survived by his family and countless admirers across the globe. His passing marks the end of an era for Indian expatriates in the UAE and beyond, leaving behind a legacy of leadership, generosity, and commitment to community service.
