Rotary Shares – Rotary International President Wifrid. J. Wilkinson’s yearly theme is largely a humane effort. The new theme will offer many opportunities for service and we are excited to be a part of that. Rotary was not put in your life to stay, Rotary is not Rotary until you give it away. By sharing Rotary with others in fellowship and service we will Celebrate a Century of Service, Celebrate the joy of Sharing and most of all — say Sharing is Caring!

From the Editor's desk

Dear friends,

Last few days were very important for our 10th and 12th standards. This year also our annets have done well in their critical examinations. Congratulations to all of you! Parents are all busy checking different universities in and out of India to decide about their higher education. This reminds me of a story which happened few years back.

President's Message

Dear friends,

When I sat down to scribble this fortnight’s quota of my verbal-dump on you, my mind was feeling quite a bit stressed out, feeling that all-too-common wound up mood with too many things seemingly lined up to be done. So what better than sharing that elusive rule that am trying (mostly in vain!) to practice – Slow Down movement!

This thought first struck me when myself and Sujata were running against the clock, climbing up the ladders of corporate life 2 steps at a time, in the fast track of Mumbai life. Both of us being in the limelight at TCS, and winning performance awards one after the other, it was more of destiny than by choice that we had to live life that way, or so we thought. Getting up in the morning at 5:30, and doing literally multi-tasking of all chores of the morning in a mad rush,till we find that corner seat of the 7:42 local train to VT station (to catch up with my little nap), and till the time we enter our apartment at 10:00 at night, it would be just another day out at work.

"Of the things we think, say or do:

Is it the TRUTH ?
Is it FAIR to all concerned?

Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS ?

Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?"
