India Association of Tallahassee (IATLH | www.iatlh.org) celebrated the 67th Indian Independence Day and 2013 Utsav (cultural program) at the Jeff Bradford Auditorium at the Amos P. Godby High School in Tallahassee, FL 32303. The program began with parents and family visiting from India standing at the podium and help unfurling the Indian national flag followed by singing of Indian national anthem and American national anthem.
It was followed by speech contest where nine members spoke on pre-selected topics for three minutes. The winners were announced just before the start of the quiz program (which was the last one to be conducted on this day). Following the speech contest, the cultural program began and featured group dances, group songs, and musical instrumental pieces. Then intermission followed.

Immediately following intermission, our comedy Hindi skit was staged. The people who took part in the Hindi comedy skit were members of Learn Hindi. I had obtained a copy of a Hindi skit from the Internet and modified it and the Hindi teacher added more lines and parts for people. The skit called Rangeen School was staged and all performed well and the audience liked it. Then there were few more programs, speech contest winner announcement and the quiz.
