My Rotaract Journey
The only word that comes in my mind when I think about Rotaract is LEADERSHIP. Rotaract always gives a wonderful platform that helps to enhance your public speaking skills, leadership skills, helps to learn professionalism, and most importantly it teaches everyone to be a leader and to make leaders. My journey of Rotaract began with the celebration of children day in one of our special areas i.e. Differently abled home in Chaata chowk as an observer. At that moment it was just an excuse to escape from ragging but after that day Rotaract became a habit for me, a habit to explore, enjoy, serve, learn, and make memories. So it was 15th December 2017 when I got the honor to call myself as Rtr. Suraj Shah and I will always be proud of that. And the journey continues and I continuously got this opportunity to serve the community and Rotaract as Club Member (for 2 years), Joint Secretary, and then as a Secretary. During this journey, I learned different leadership skills, public speaking skills, the skill to manage personal and professional life, many technical things and the process never stopped during the global pandemic as well. I would like to thank the Rotaract Club Of Dharan Ghopa for giving me an opportunity to explore my capabilities. To me, Rotaract has given me a big opportunity and has changed my life for the better. And I must say let’s join this global movement and continue moving forward bringing changes among ourselves and make this community a better place to live. Keep Rotaracting. Grab Opportunities To Create Yourself. -Rtr. Suraj Shah

Is it the TRUTH? 2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?” *As of June 2019, Rotary had committed $2 billion to global polio eradication. *You can only donate plasma After 2 weeks of recovery from COVID-19. *Inj.

“Just like absolute zero in physics, perfection in life is anideal, hypothetical state or 44 point.� I would like to start with the same question: does perfection really exist? Well, if I was to answer, I would say no, certainly not. Just like absolute zero in physics, perfection in life is anideal, hypothetical state or point. So, going after perfection is like going after Shadow.
Remember, Thomas Edison failed for over 1000 times, yet he succeeded. Yes, it was his consistency that helped him make it to the end. He never strived for perfection. Like him, we have thousands of examples, of people who failed number of times, who made many mistakes, yet succeeded. And they still make mistakes: Better mistakes than all of us: Be it Sachin Tendulkar or Virat Kohli incricket, Leo Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo in football, LeoNardo Di Capirio or Shah Rukh Khan in acting and Paulo Coelho or Chetan Bhagat in literature, none of them is perfect. They make mistakes, they learn from them andso do I and so do you.
Rtr. Neha Jayswal BDS 2019
What we need to understand is that consistency is far more important than willing to achieve perfection. Consistency can transform an ordinary man into an extraordinary being. All we need, is the spirit to start.

PENDULUM The pendulum of the clock has just oscillated eleven times. The sound has been turned into low, because she would have liked it that way. One hour left. The hour hand needs one more numeral to traverse, to meet the minute hand for another oscillation. The pen of his mobile note is dipped into the ink. The app opened. “To the rhythm that makes my heart beat arythmically”- he started. He continued- It never felt that distant far away when at the entrance of the temple, I saw a fairy with long silky hair and carressing eyes accompanied with a sweet heart, that I would be writing this after some 364 days to you. It has been a wonderful journey towards love and I feel happy we have so far been able to gather a new definition for it. The notification popped up “Good Night”. He obliged. “Good Night”- he texted back and kissed the screen. The pen resumed- The day I started decoding what a beautiful mess you are, that was the very day I was into loving you. May be my love for you is madness, but I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I am so glad I found
you. You teach me love can happen; even with the guy who is not nicely built, who has lesser known skills and is a family guy just trying to make a career of his own. He then realized how she had grown that man into a confident lad who just had his 8 month salary some days back. It was her love that turned him to a man although being so far physically. May be our love is just like icecreams; the more we taste it, the more it melts our heart. My love for you has always come in parallel lines and I know it can never part away. Our love will forever be an uncomplete story and this incomplete story will always be my favorite story.- he added, taking a sip of coffee from the cup alongside. I have always written your name in the trees I pass by and they have always provided my world with the best of shades, the protection from the hatred around the world and a sense of breath as pure as anything. You are simply my oxygen tank babe.

Trust me, we have known each other now for a year, and however short a duration that be, I am pretty sure that must be enough for our love to last forever, and hope our love doesnot get tired with my forever. May be we deserve an Oscar for loving each other like the way we do. I have been emptified by your love towards you and I am pretty much loving it that way. We will let it remain exactly that way right?- he smiles as he types.
Finally the oscillation of the pendulum. The mobile showing 00:00. The message sent. Double tick, non-blue one. The door bell rung. For another surprise, it was the one year old love opening her arms all the way from her work. Love won and distance lost.
You have helped me see off my battles with my emotional misbalances. You have helped me recover from my painful mental distress. You have uncoiled my being from the coiled wires of earphones. You have always shown that people can be loved despite their differences and I cannot thank you enough in my life for that. He has a look at the time. 23:48 it is. He hurried- You have been more beautiful than the world is after the annual exams. You have been more satisfying than the extra five minute nap in the early morning. And more a 45listening friend than the puff of cigarette after every frustration. You are amazing and hope we continue to be that way. I am happy to be bounded in a world where the boundaries include your hair and your shoes. May be our love exists in all the small things we do except the ‘I love you’ we ever say. May be it is fine that way. “Happy One Year Anniversary dear. Hope we get to celebrate it every year till we get to know.” The writer introduction seemed pretty obvious at the end to not be written. It was 23:59. One more minute for the ticking of the clock.
