The energetic and enthusiastic participation of the Academy, students, their parents and teacher stood as a testament to the love and respect they all have for you.

As the musical afternoon unfolded, we witnessed so much talent and clearly age and genre of music was no barrier.

The highlight of the show was of course, thedeepa grand finale by Oorja Amplified which was absolutely electrifying and brought everyone to their feet.

Once again we were reminded of the power of music and how it brings people together for a cause.

In the form of an elegant Baithak titled Raaz-e-Ulfat , this unique Adda featured Anu sharing a poignant tale of love and compassion in the face of a sudden cancer diagnosis beautifully punctuated with ghazals performed by Delhi’s well known Lawyer – Singer, Meghna Mital. Accompanying Meghna on the stage were two talented young musicians, Purav on the harmonium and Dhaivat Mehta on the tabla.

Listening to the magic they created one would never have believed the three of them were on stage together for the first time.

A special thank you to Anu’s circle of friends, well-wishers and peers from the Andheri–Versova Western Suburban neighborhood. Their energy and commitment truly matched hers. Every guest stayed on through the performance and then over delicious chai, samosa and kachori continued the heart felt interactions. Needless to say, everyone contributed generously to the cause.

A special shoutout to our Radio Partners Red FM and their RJ Jiya for being present and helping to amplify our voice.

The evening was about a deeply felt story set to haunting music, but most importantly it was about hope, courage, and that rare sense of community that a Chai for Cancer Adda always managed to bring together.

Here’s to more power to our host Anu and to this special Chai for Cancer community, which is growing stronger with each passing year.

Thank you Friends of Max Trustees and Mumbai Volunteers who added their energies to the evening.

The Chai for Cancer Adda hosted by Friends of Max City Chapter Leader Sandeep Mahil and his friend Karanjeet Singh on 28 September 2025 in Chandigarh, was everything an Adda is meant to be — warm, welcoming and filled with conversations that truly matter.

Co-host Ravi Sharma set the tone just right when he described an Adda as “that space where one can normalize talk about cancer.” And that’s exactly what happened — surrounded by family and friends the evening flowed with laughter, love and heartfelt sharing.

A big thank you to Gurmit Kaur, Daman Mangat, and Jasleen Chopra for being there — and to Dr. Pankaj Malhotra, who came straight from a full day at the patient meeting to join the Adda.

And to Kunwar and Puneet, who made the evening even more special with their songs. What a gift you gave us!

Thank you to everyone who raised a cup (well over 800 cups!) — in memory, in honour or in hope — of loved ones and patients and families living with cancer.

A special shoutout to our Radio Partner, Red FM, for amplifying the voice of Chai for Cancer

The enthusiastic physicians at RGCI –  Dr Dinesh Bhurani, Rayaz Ahmed, Narendra Agarwal and their team hosted the CFC Adda on Saturday, 26th November. Our committed Radio Partners Red FM delhi spread the word of this event across the Delhi airwaves throughout the past week and their amazing RJ Atishay was present at the Adda to capture the voices – new and old – and amplify the message of supporting cancer patients in need.

As always, our stalwart FOM Trustees and City Chapter Leaders ran the show, supporting the Adda as patients, caregivers, treating physicians and supporters in the city visited, checked out our merchandise, raised a cup and donated generously towards our cause.

We asked FOM City Chapter Leader Monica Kapoor about her experience at the Adda. Here’s what she says, “Chai for Cancer Addas have always been a special place for us to come together as a community and spread positivity amongst everybody who attends. The Addas at RGCI are very encouraging – Dr Bhurani and his team always make it a point to spend time with us and encourage us for the good work. Viji Amma (Viji Venkatesh) has an infectious energy that inspires us to work for the welfare of our CML community.”
