The event was attended by all the members of the ABC Laughter Team, Manipal, who came together to celebrate the spirit of laughter and camaraderie that has been the cornerstone of this team.

The meeting marked a significant milestone in the team's journey, with the election of new office bearers. Shri Aelvoor Sridhar Shetty and Shri Talloor Shivarama Shetty were chosen to lead the team. Their election was met with unanimous approval, and there is a palpable sense of anticipation for the fresh energy and direction they are expected to bring to the team.

The evening was made even more memorable by the generous hospitality of Shri Talloor Shivarama Shetty, the owner of Hotel Tamboolam.

The members were treated to a lavish spread of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian delicacies, accompanied by a variety of drinks. This sumptuous feast was thoroughly enjoyed by all the members, adding to the joyous atmosphere of the evening.

In the midst of the wonderful hotel ambience, with the most courteous wait staff and stewards, the mouth-watering aroma of the delicacies created a heavenly atmosphere. The Laughter Lords simply got lost in the spirit of the energisers and the taste of the starters. The main course climaxed the happy mood of the Lords. Each of the Lords expressed their worthy experiences of being a part of the Laughter Team for the last 18 years. The dinner arena resounded with countless laughter and lightning that just inspired the spirit to live longer with still better health.
