R. I. President’s Message DEAR FELLOW ROTARIANS, Looking back at the momentous 1917 Rotary Convention in Atlanta , it is difficult to see what could have been contentious about the words of thenPresident Arch C. Klumph: “It seems eminently proper that we should accept endowments for the purpose of doing good in the world. ”yet, at the time, support for the idea was far from unanimous. Some thought an endowment fund would create more trouble than it was worth. But Klumph's idea received the support it most needed in the form of an initial donation of $26.50 from the Rotary Club of Kansas City, Mo. Nearly 100 years later, we recognize Klumph's idea as not only visionary, but revolutionary: It set in place the mechanism that allowed Rotary become the vast force for “ doing good in the world” that it is today.In many ways, our Rotary Foundation is the foundation of Rotary as we know it. It has created a mechanism for cooperation and

partnership among clubs and between Rotary and other organizations; it has enabled us to be ever more ambitious in our work and to reach for goals of historic proportions, such as the eradication of polio. It is impossible to quantify the good that has been done over the last century as a result of The Rotary Foundation. All we can know for sure is that Arch Klumph, if he could see it, would be proud.

I am looking forward to seeing many of you at our international convention in Atlanta: the city where our Foundation was born. I hope a record number of Rotarians will be there to celebrate the centennial of our Foundation. In the meantime, there are plenty of other ways to celebrate! I encourage you to read more about the Foundation centennial at centennial. Rotary.org. There , you'll learn about the history of our Foundation and find ideas for events and projects in your clubs and your community.

One of the most important ways we are celebrating the Foundation centennial is

with a fundraising goal of $300 millions.

Your gift to your Foundation is the best way of ensuring a strong second century for Rotarians doing Good in the world and for Rotary Serving Humanity.

President’s Message Dear Fellow Rotarians, Once again it has been a satisfying month for the activities of our club. Let me enumerate few of them : Our commitment to Melghat started of with a hugely successful diagnostic camp organized by our able doctors. They could diagnose approx. 250 patients out which 80 patients were found to be in need of surgeries. All our eyes are now on our Global grant team to hasten the process of making the Operation Theatre up and ready to enable our doctors start performing surgeries.

You all will be pleased to know that Rotary Club of Bombay with the help of our club as well as NGO of our own member Rtn Harshwardhan Dhanvatey “TRACT” have started a survey in the eight villages of Tadoba buffer zone. The plan is to make as many villages, funds permitting, as “IDEAL VILLAGE” in terms of education, hygiene, safe drinking water, clean village, enhancing farming skills, etc. The team will be visiting tadoba from 15th November to 20th November’16 for finalization of future plan. These are the same villages where our

club will be distributing 1,008 independent Water Filter kits to individual families under our Global Grant project.

Upcoming opportunities for our members are to take part in District Conference “Swapnapurti 2017” to be held on 7th and 8th of January’17. Our DG Mahesh Mokalkar has promised and assured that it is going to be a wonderful experience. I sincerely urge all our members to participate, as it will be in our own Nagpur City.

Another opportunity is to become “Paul Harris Fellow”. We have received a never before offer to become “Paul Harris Fellow” for just $100. Those members who have not become Paul Harris Fellow till now have this excellent offer to become one. Help us make our club a 100% PHF club.

On a happy note, you all will be pleased to learn that our club is one of the very few Rotary Clubs, who have become CSR compliant. It basically means that we are able to deliver the projects under CSR funds received by us, documenting it as per CSR requirements of the corporates and also

submit social impact assessment of the project. Having achieved this milestone, we hope to receive a much larger share of CSR funds in our club to take up many more activities to help the society.

Just thought of updating our members of the few activities in line for the year. November will also see a lot of activities, which you get to know through circulars and of course through Golden Orange. So keep participating in projects and serve “Humanity” Yours in Rotary Alok Goenka

To Ponder...

“For me, religious festivals and celebrations have become an important way to teach my children about how we can transform living with diversity from the superficial 'I eat ethnic food', to something dignified, mutually respectful and worthwhile”…Randa Abdel-Fattah India is a land of fairs and festivals. As different communities belonging to different religions live here, therefore many festivals are celebrated regularly every year.

Comes in the last months of the year and with them we have a series of festivals to celebrate..from Rakhi to Eid, Diwali to Durga Puja..the list is endless.

However, these days I strongly feel that the real spirit behind festivals is lost. It lies beneath a sheet of obscurity. The feelings which filled our hearts with enthusiasm,

joyousness and warmth seem to have vanished. Festivals are more of formalities these days. WHAT IS OR ARE THE REASONS FOR THE LOST OF THESE FEELINGS..? there are indeed many. but one I know for sure is the impact of the internet which keeps people engaged most of the time. Initially to CELEBRATE people during festivals met friends and families, wore new clothes enjoyed food and delicacies together ; sitting talking and laughing together. But today, its just an sms in a group or an image send to wish and one formality is over. Children today prefer to stay at home and play video games rather than move out and enjoy the SPECIAL occasion. This may seem as a small incident that can be overlooked, but it will someday be a big issue where socialising will be

virtual than real.

So lets take initiation to make our festivals be a tool to bring life to a state of exuberance and enthusiasm and a time to remake and strengthen our bonds once again.

Business Meeting

Oct. 6th President Alok greeted members on birthdays and anniversaries. The Golden Orange for October was released at the hands of PDG Vishwas Sahasrabhojanee. Along with his monthly report, Treasurer Nimish also informed the house that disbursement of Rs. 21.30 lakhs for Global grant had been received. Important decisions taken by board, particularly the termination of 17 members for non-payment of half yearly dues, were ratified and other issues concerning clubs were discussed. President Alok informed that the work on all 3 Global Grant projects has commenced. He also informed about the desire of Rotary Club of Bombay, the premier club in the country, to associate themselves with our club projects. He also appealed to all members of the club to donate Rs. 10,000/- and above to the club for meeting its expenses on various projects. An appeal was also made to the non-PHF members to become Paul Harris Fellows. The meeting was adjourned after singing of the National Anthem.

Weekly Meeting us and it is time we tell them we are serious and end ties. Rtn Gagan felt the people of Pakistan are good but the government is a rogue state.

Some among the audience felt Kashmir was being used by Pakistan to promote terrorism and public figures like Salman Khan should think before commenting on issues which affect the nation.

The unanimous feeling among most panelist and audience was when Pakistan was not allowing Indian artists to perform in their country then why should we make an exception and people like Arnab Goswami don't help by calling Pakistani generals on their show every night who deny any wrong doing.As there is no unity among politians and media we

Indians should stand by our army.Though few voices in the audience felt 'an eye for an eye'is not the solution to the problem and we should continue having cultural exchanges.

The conclusion of the volatile discussion was that most panelist and members present felt at the present scenario we should have no cultural ties and that surgical strikes were needed to curb the rogue state of Pakistan.

Rtn Parag Paranjipe gave the vote of thanks and said we all agreed to disagree and thanked everyone for participating in this controversial topic.

The panelist for the evening to discuss the above topic were Pp Khushnoor Chugh, Rtn Rachana Singh , Rtn GaganSial, Rtn Hemant Lodha Rtn Mohammed Master.

The moderator for the discussion was Pp Shabbir Shakir who introduced the panelist in his customary tongue-in-cheek manner. He started the discussion by asking the panelist if we are playing into the hands of the extremist elements because a few months back if we considered breaking ties with our neighbour Pakistan it was considered as extreme but at present the saner voice of society are considered as unpatriotic and passions are riding high.

Rtn Lodha felt Pakistan is enemy country and only if their change we can do business. Pp Kushnoor felt proud of our armed forces and was sympathetic to the families who lost their young sons to terrorism but felt if we cut off all ties with Pakistan the common man who has families on either side of the border suffers and cultural exchange will be the collateral to the building up the relationship between the 2 countries. Rtn Rachana felt at the present scenario 'Enough is Enough' India has been very patient and when the common man is hit we must take strong measures. Rtn Master felt Pakistan being a smaller country than ours is bullying

Meeting Trials & Tribulations of starting a Skin Bank. " Pledge to donate your skin" Just about 5-8 square inches of the thighs & about 10 square inches from the back, is all that it takes to end the trauma of around 6 burn patients.There is no bleeding in the procedure & the skin procured can be stored for 5 years in a skin bank.And it is with great pride that Rotary Club of Nagpur can boast of having such a skin bank.

Two & a half years ago,our club, along with the Orange City Hospital started the 3rd bank in the country.Lack of awareness, unfortunately is keeping both donors & users at bay. We have just about had 10 donors & an equal number of

Oct. 20th patients.

To remedy this, we invited, Rtn. Dr. Sunil Keswani, the director of the National Burns Society- Mumbai. Dr Sameer Jahgirdar, introduced Dr Keswani who was accompanied by Dr Agarwala, PP of the Rotary Club of Bombay North.

Godfather to our bank, Dr Keswani has helped start 3 more skin banks subsequently.

An excellent orator, Dr. Keswani brought, the drab subject, alive. Contacting interactors, rotaractors, eye banks, various corporates, old peoples homes, hospitals, plastic surgeons of the city etc should be taken up to create awareness.CDs showing both harvesting of skin & treatment of burn patients,

should be screened during, Ganpati & Navratri festivals and slides & posters at the airport & the railway station should help to expand this altruistic work.Banners, badges, cloth & paper bags with slogans, were some of the tips, Dr Keswani gave towards creating awareness.

Earlier, Pres. Alok had distributed the birthday & anniversary gifts. Rtn Navneet Jain had received an award for Blood Donation on behalf of the Club which was shown to the members.

At the end of the meeting, PP Chandru Shahani, proposed the formal vote of thanks.

History of The Rotary Foundation Rotary President Arch Klumph proposes an endowment for doing good

The Rotary Foundation is formally named

The Paul Harris Memorial Fund was created to build the Foundation.

Paul Harris Fellow recognition begins

At the 1917 convention, outgoing Rotary President Arch Klumph proposed to set up an endowment “for the purpose of doing good in the world.”

Klumph's remarks at the Rotary Convention in Atlanta plant the seed for today's Foundation. The Rotary Club of Kansas City, Missouri, USA, makes the first donation, of?$26.50.

At the 1928 convention in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA, the Foundation is formally named The Rotary Foundation, and it became a distinct entity within Rotary International.

When Rotary founder Paul Harris died in 1947, contributions began pouring in to Rotary International,

The Foundation’s first form of donor recognition expresses appreciation for eligible contributions of $1,000. Later, additional recognition levels are created. Donors may also name another person as a Paul Harris Fellow by donating in his or her honor.

Is Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) Food really good…???

We have no idea what is on our plate and believe that if it is FDA approved everything is fine. While there are probably more adverse effects to GM foods & unfortunately no one cares about human health, as long as it is profitable for big corporations, Government Lobbies &Organisations.

Bad for Farmers GMO supporters believe that bioengineered foods are a godsend to developing countries: that farmers using transgenic seeds use less synthetic pesticides that are harmful to the environment and have higher crop yields and more nutritious foods.

Opponents point out that introducing GE seeds to developing countries makes local farmers dependent upon large multinational companies who could push those farmers into a cycle of debt, which

is bad for food security and local farmers.

Causes Allergic Outbreaks GE food contains genes from foods that are known allergens. A number of studies show that GM crops have a potentially harmful effect on the immune system.

These effects could cause autoimmune disorders and more prone to allergies.

Reports show that allergic reactions to soy shot up dramatically in the UK after the introduction of a genetically modified soy bean.

Results in Franken food!

GE allows introducing animal products in plants, which could raise issues for vegetarian or vegans, or those who refrain from eating certain foods for religious reasons.

Bad for Environment There will always be unknown long term effects to the ecosystem and biodiversity when inducing change in the natural traits

of crops through unnatural means.

Pesticide-Resistant Can Lead to "Super" Pests Modified genes in engineered crops resist pesticides, making them pesticide resistant. These super-organisms cannot be controlled easily, which will create problems in managing their numbers and crop production in future.

The Effects Are Irreversible The harmful effects on the environment and human health are irreversible.

Consuming natural, organic & nutritious food is the best option for a healthy lifestyle.We have initiated the “School Land Art” program for the Interact Schools to create awareness for “We Want Safe Food” amongst the children and their parents too.

Mix slowly to avoid the rice grain from breaking. Put a lid and let the rice cook till the flavor of the spices mix well with the rice. Serve Hot.

Recits de Voyage

Ah! Eastern Europe - it's that part of Europe where time has stood still and history comes alive. The first place we landed was Prague the capital of Czech Republic and immediately we were transmitted to medieval times, this place is full of castles, churches and plazas which are basically town squares where all the shops and restaurants are located.

The best way to get a flavor of this place is either by cycling or walking through it.

Don't miss the geographical clock and the Clock Tower where the Dwarfs peep out of the window at the stroke of every hour.

A stroll on the Charles Bridge is most interesting with vendors on both sides selling trinkets and artists luring you to make your portrait and caricatures- one savory is a must here for every tourist and that is a Chocolate Trudlo (Chocolate Roll) available at the Street Carts (Thelas). From here we went on to another fairy tale village- CHESKYKRUMLOV- with cobbled stone pathway and cottages full of flowers adorning the windows streams flowing through the village, you almost expect Cinderella

Neena Parikh to step out of her pumpkin coach. Next we went on to Budapest, Wow what a city! The moment you stand on the Green Iron Elizabeth Bridge, overlooking the blue Danube you realize the grandeur of this place.

This River divides the city into two Buda and Pest with one side the legen dary Parli amen t house and the other side the dome shaped Mosaic tiled church, both an architectural feat.

Shopping here for laces, Spices and Crystal was really fun.

Then we drove to Bratislava another medieval town famous for its elegant Palaces and Bohemian Cut grass.

On we went towards the snow peaked mountains among which lies a most picturesque village the “High Tetras”, a

sleepy little village with an old rickety wooden train chugging up and down the village. The resort here is ideal to rest your tired feet and drink in the beauty of the mountains. Then drove Kraków in Poland to see the most amazing underground salt mines. The engineering used in that era to make salt is mind blowing. They had lakes, churches and restaurants down there and all were built

by Salt Miners –“You really need to see it to believe it”.

Out of the mines and i n t o t h e concentration camps. Yes, I am talking about the most infamous Nazi, “Auschwitz Concentration Camps” where Hitler murdered millions of Jews in his gas chambers.

The moment you enter Auschwitz, a guide takes you into that Black period of 1941 to 1945. Here each room, each picture speaks of the Tortures, Trauma and the gruesome deaths of the Polish Jews met at the hands of the German Nazis.

This experience even defies tears and leaves you numb. We came out of the iron curtain and left for Warsaw- the last place of our holiday in Eastern Europe- What a journey through time, must do it once in a life time.

What's the purpose of money? No…I'm not at all into philosophy. Neither I'm reading or attending a discourse by a Guru nor I want to become one. It is just that by answering this simple question, one can set the context right on another important aspect called 'Investments.' So, coming back to the original question. If you Google, you will find plenty of answers.

But the simplest one I have come across knowing that money is medium of exchange is that we need money only for two things; One, for current consumption and two, for future consumption. Take these examples. You want to go on a vacation to Bahamas today; current consumption, planning in summer 2017, future consumption. Buy a Merc today; current consumption, planning in 2018, future consumption. So on and so forth.

You want to pass on inheritance to your

next generation, well that again is sort of future consumption for them.

Investment therefore is the process of deploying money with an intention of using it in future. The difficult is that most of the times people don't frame the problem properly. All we need to do is to put three things in place. What's the time we have, what's the quantum that will be needed in future and what's the current value of monies we have. Then only one variable is missing to join these three, which is at what rate of return will all this be possible and equation will be solved.

As they say, 'Kitna average deti hai'?

That's where the problem lies. All throughout investment process people focus only on 'kitna deti hai'. Time is the most potent tool in investment. The thumb rule is simple. If you have short term need, save. If its long term, invest.

Money Tips by Chanakya 2300 years ago (Are they still relevant ?)

Chanakya (4th century BCE), the noted teacher, philosopher, economist, jurist and royal advisor. authored the ancient Indian political treatise, the Arthashastra..

He is considered the pioneer of the field of political science and economics in India, and his work is thought of as an important precursor to classical economics.

Chanakya assisted the first Mauryan emperor Chandragupta in his rise to power and establishment of the Maurya Empire. He gave very practical guide on how a king should budget his finances in his famous book “Arthashastra”.

He said that first of all the king should fund for the uncertainties of the future like war, famine, flood, epidemic etc. The king should keep sufficient reserve to face such uncertain situation because it will be very difficult to generate revenue by levying taxes when the subjects are suffering from such calamities.

Second, he should allocate his budget to create infrastructures like agriculture, water bodies, education institutions, health facilities, etc to provide future wealth generation as well as well being of people.

Third, he should budget for present days essentials like food, drinks, clothing, shelter etc.

Lastly, he should allocate budget for festivity like Sharad Utsav, Vasant Panchami etc.

Remember, these tips were provided for kings like Chandragupta who had vast resources at their disposal.

These teachings are relevant for present era to common people like us too but actually we are doing exactly opposite to these wisdom. We spend first on all the present days wants (not needs) and celebrations. Most of our budget is spent on maintaining our flashy lifestyle with costly mobiles, vehicles, cloths & accessories, parties etc. Too many people spent money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't like.

After all these we are left with little to create future infrastructure need like children education or our retirement corpus. Both these costs are increasing at alarming rate. Present day cost of one year of kids education is more than the entire education cost of parent. The higher education cost is gradually escalating from Lakhs to Crores. Besides that the rising living cost and reducing family size is creating biggest challenge of post retirement cash flow. But many of the families are either unaware of the

Parag Paranjpe

We also tend to confuse between savings and investment. Saving, in most cases does not involve risk. Investment will have some or the other risk depending on the instrument of investment we choose. More often than not the unpleasant experience of investment comes when we are not clear about the time frame or the value of future consumption. This mix-up often leads to selection of wrong product. It is important to not to buy wrong product for wrong reason. Also equally important is to not to buy right product for wrong reason. Only when a right investment product bought for right reason that the investment process will be smooth & fruitful. And of course the purpose for which money is required will be rewarding.

Mahendra Kamath financial implications of these or left with little surplus to create sufficient funds. We also lack long term vision in financial planning and indulge in generating short term higher returns from get rich quick schemes.

Top of it many of us does not even think about implications of uncertain events like Death, Disability, Disaster or Disease on financial future of our family. Dreams of entire family can be destroyed by any such event.

In nutshell, You gotta do what you HAVE to do before you can do what you WANT to do. It's called Priority.

Little know facts about - Vilas Kale

NOVEMBER 2016 GOLDEN ORANGE

“To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.� Emerson....

And this is what has impressed Vilas from the time he was a little boy.

Belonging to an affluent & renowned family of Nagpur, his grandmother was into Politics & his grandfather was a successful business man. They had a lot of property but when his grandfather passed away, he left it all in a trust.

None of the children, inherited anything.

It was to be used for education, welfare of women & skill development for destitute women.

Vilas was very young then but he realised what his grandad had done.

Without saying it, he had told them that, 1) Giving was important.

2) They had to make a life for themselves.

Since then, Vilas has always believed that a certain percentage of ones income should be given in charity.

And charity begins at home.

Two of their maasis, did not have children & both Vilas & his brother Harshraj decided to take care of them both as they would their own mother & this they did, till both the aunts and their husbands breathed their last.

Similarly, through the Kale Foundation Trust a few needy relatives, get help financially on a regular basis.

Household servants, office staff & many poor families live a little better due to

16

hand holding by the Kale family.

When their brother Pramod died,in 1982, the brothers decided to help educate the children of their employees, in his memory.

Till date all their employee' s children's, school fees at actuals, uniforms & books, subject to a fixed amount are paid for by them. However in order to encourage Family Planning this facility is available only up to 2 children per employee.

The brilliant and needy are supported even through college.

They have fully supported 2 Engineering graduates from BITS Pillani, 1 from Ramdeobaba Engineering College.

Neeta is even more sensitive and caring for those who need help..

In fact as a trustee of the Chitnavis Centre, even Neeta & cousins, pick, drop outs from schools, get them tuitions in English & Maths & Computers & help them sail

Manju Shahani

through life.

They hold classes for the hearing impaired & help them till they come into the main stream.

Neeta spends a lot of time and energy in Women's Employment and skill development project through the Chitnavis Centre.

Helplessness is what moves Vilas the most, especially when it's to do with Health.

He is all praises for Mr. Jimmy Rana, who runs the Snehanchal for patients with terminal illnesses.

An extra tip to a waiter or a porter.

Buying a handmade artifact, even if they don't need it are small ways he extends help to the poor. " Be sensitive to your surrounds--- family, friends & society at large
