to his jokes and even came back on stage for a second time. “My husband was calling me back home, but when I got to know that you (Anshu) were coming back on stage, I chose to stay back,” one of the members told the stand-up comic. Anshu was so flattered that he asked the organisers to give the woman a special prize and also jokingly added that he would sign over his property to her.

A djembe session was also conducted for the members at the event where they were taught how to play the instrument. Not just that, the audience members also danced and sang along to the beats. Anshu Daga, one of the members, presented a play called #Andme?... I Am Changing, that focussed on the problems that women often face at home. “These women have played many roles in their lives, and this is the first time that they are playing the role of actors. You will be able to connect with the play,” Daga, who had directed the play, told the audience.

After the djembe workshop, the ladies even exercised a bit to relax their arms

‘This event is about celebrating things that mothers are passionate about’
The moms at the event participated in all the activities, and were seen laughing, dancing and singing their heart out. “The drum session was really interesting, I loved that part and the discussion on parenting was very informative,” said Neha Seth, member of GurgaonMoms, who was also a volunteer at the event.
Neela Kaushik, founder, GurgaonMoms, added, “The idea behind the community is to provide tools to moms to pursue whatever they are passionate about. Moms don’t get to network, and this event provided them a platform to do that.”
