VOCATIONAL VISIT

VISIT TO DINSHAWS ICE-CREAM FACTORY, BUTIBORI

A long time ago, a movie by the name "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" became incredibly popular. The movie showed the journey of kids being taken through the magical kingdom of chocolate. Like a dream come true. Well, something along these lines took place during the vocational visit to Dinshaw's ice cream factory on Sunday the 1st of June. Honestly, I first felt a little out of place, as I now don't qualify to be a mother of small children, but mother I am, and it was fun seeing the enthusiasm and eagerness the children showed on this visit. This is not the first time we've been to the Dinshaw's factory,

and I certainly hope it's not the last. Sarang Kale arranged breakfast at his restaurant Czaar and the caravan then proceeded to the factory. Situated at Butibori, this factory has all the state of the art machinery for manufacturing of ice cream. We saw Chocobars being dipped in chocolate and wrapped up, then the ever famous three-inone followed by the newly launched flavour "Chhapan Bhog". There was malai kulfi, small cups of vanilla, and the ever-popular Cornetto. Strict hygiene and rigid work discipline ensure that consistent quality ice cream is churned out. Enthusiastic parents were explaining to

their wards, how the process goes, and the staff at Dinshaw's was very co-operative in explaining the flow chart of the factory. There is an ice cream storage cell that stands at a chilling -30C. The highlight of the trip was of course the ice cream eating. The staff was more than generous to let us sample all the flavors that were available, and then some!!!! Dinshaw's is a name that every Nagpurian is proud of. It is an integral part of Nagpur's history. All of us would like to thank PP Shiraz for letting us visit, and of course Vocational visit Director, Girish Deodhar. - Anita Chitaley

President’s Message Dear Rotary families, RI President Ron Burton's theme for the year "Engage Rotary Change Lives" found its expression in all the projects and programmes carried out throughout the year. Identifying opportunities to exhibit one's hidden talent and urge to serve was at its best. Occasions to nurse inherent human nature to be engaged in pursuits for experiencing ultimate satisfaction and bliss were in abundance and served the purpose. When I assumed the responsibility of this august club as President in July 2013 along with my very best team of director, the mood was upbeat, all wanting to be at their best to utilise the tenure to excel in their respective area of service with a common motive of making a change for betterment and experiencing the joy of giving. Gelling, accomplished by performing to-gather, being the most effective stimulus for success at every stage, was the hallmark, resulting in accomplishing the desired with utmost ease and best of fellowship. This joy of being to-gather, without any expectations, with a common aim of achieving satisfaction and bliss through service has a potential of being the most divine addiction and the aim to dawn upon the realization of "Happy mind is healthy body ", was to some extent achieved. Now at the end of the tenure I feel blessed and enriched by being a part of a large extended loving family of 700 talented Rotarians and Rotary Anns, all now known so closely, providing me the mental comfort of banking on their support for our club's sustainable projects. As a president, performing the role as a catalyst was most enjoyable and rewarding. I am indebted to all the members of our club for their affectionate support and active involvement in the committee activities at every stage throughout the year. Constant interaction with the members for devising and implementing new projects and programmes has now became a habit and has radically changed the way we now look at the world around, not for the benefits we can derive but for the services we can offer to make it a better place for all of us to live and enjoy in true sense. At the end of the year we all realise how genuine and effective the theme " Engage Rotary Change Lives " was. With best wishes, Yours in Rotary, Prashant Kale

STAY CONNECTED Bouquets and brickbats most welcome. Sincerely request you to share your comments, criticism, appreciation and ideas.

Thinking Otherwise Dear Members of Rotary Club of Nagpur, I regretfully submit my resignation as Editor of this prestigious magazine 'Golden Orange' effective 30th June 2014. Although I loved my job, I knew from day one that it would end someday. Unfortunately that day is just round the corner. Being a HMT guy, to be honest, I was little apprehensive when I was first offered to handle this important assignment. But I took solace from the fact that Indian Express too had HMT guy as managing editor till recently. Writing a column once a month on your chosen topic is a lot easier than managing the entire magazine for a year. It's an entirely different ball game. But it has been wonderful experience for me. Your confidence in my abilities and genuine love for magazine make this decision especially difficult. I will be forever grateful for the invaluable experience I acquired during the year. Also, the friendships I have developed here have helped make my year successful and productive. All the contributors to magazine, column writers have been among the finest people I have ever known. Thank you President Prashant, Hon Secretary Sunil, Director Sohrab and Chairperson Shabbir… thanks you very much…you have been excellent and thank you dear readers once again for this opportunity. Parag. P.S. If you are still wondering what HMT means…well that gives me comfort that someone is reading this piece Please google it to find its meaning, Send in your responses to incoming Editor Nimish who may announce attractive prize for it!! He has many ideas up his sleeves (See page 4 for more details) and am sure will do an excellent job as editor.

BEST LETTER Dear Parag, You must be busy giving finishing touches to the last issue of Golden Orange 2013-14. Congratulations for accepting and successfully completing your role as the Editor. It is one of the most prestigious as well as challenging assignments by way of Compiling and Collating diverse Club program info as well as articles of general interest. On both fronts you have done a commendable job. I am sure it has been an enriching experience for you which has added yet another feather in your cap. Kudos and best wishes for your future Rotary assignments! - Atul Shah There will be a best letter prize every month. So keep writing. Also mail your photograph along with your letter.

Dear Rtn. Prashantji, In continuation to my last letter I have just received your April & May issue of your club bulletin “The Golden Orange” through courier excellently compiled and edited by your Editor Parag Paranjpe for which my heartiest compliments and congratulations for an excellent job! Some of the highlights of these issues were excellent report of weekly meetings, Vocational visit to Kandri Mines, Surgical Camp at Budkoi and TRF recognition. Congratulating you once again for the above excellent Bulletins and with best wishes for your remaining year Warm personal regards to you and Ann Smita ji and Rotary Greetings to all your members from myself and Indumati, we remain, Your Friends, PDG JAGMOHAN KATAKIA District 3040 (1994-95)

Dear Editor, Through the GO, my cochairpersons PP Gulab Mahant, Rajiv Behal and I would like to profusely thank all the Rotarians, Rotary Anns and other individuals who selflessly came forward to contribute to the kitty from out of which we distribute scholarships. It is because of their contributions that we were able to do whatever little we could towards helping children from the deprived sections of society to continue with their schooling. We were able to distribute scholarships amounting to Rs.8.80 lakhs in the Rotary year 2013-14 benefitting more than 400 students. We look forward to their continued support and also call upon those Rotarians/Anns who were unable to do so this year, to avail of this opportunity to display their magnanimity in the coming year. Best wishes. Rtn. Sandip J Dhodapkar

MY VOICE

- Letters To The Editor

Dear Readers, Many of us often have strong or not so strong opinions and ideas about Rotary and about our Club in particular!!! In addition, we also bottle up our emotions and thoughts on subjects which not only impact Society in the present, but which have far reaching implications. The only option generally to express or vent our feelings is the traditional method of speaking out in weekly (or rather business) meetings, or at best amongst our close friends and family. Sadly, this means that those who miss the business meet do not exercise this right. This new column, which will run every month in the Golden Orange aims to change this forever. We will publish a topic or subject every month, inviting your views in less than 140 characters (TWEETS!!!) to be published in the following issue with your photos. The 3 best stated views will carry prizes worth Rs 1000/-, Rs 750 and Rs 500/-

So here we go – Should our Club focus on service alone and do away with the Big Fellowships? Please send your Tweets to V i n d h y a S a n j a n a a t vindhyasanjana@yahoo.com or SMS / Whatsapp or even call her on 9423103916 / 9890715526. Looking forward to your enthusiastic response -Nimish Sutaria, Editor 2014-15

5TH JUNE - CHALLENGES IN DOCTOR PATIENT RELATIONSHIP

We had a unique program on 5th June meeting where our member Dr Kishor Taori along with renowned physician Dr Anand Kate spoke about contentious issue of doctor patient relationship. It was an open forum where members also participated with their thoughts and experiences. While the concept of family doctor is disappearing due to various factors, it is the growing trust deficit between doctor and patient that is worrisome. Dr Taori, who is also

the President of MCI, spoke about the changes taking place in this bond. Over a period of time the perception about doctors have undergone lot of changes from being like God or may be god himself, today they are viewed like any other businessmen. The shift has only accelerated over past couple of years. According to Dr Taori and Kate the medico legal aspect has only sped up this shift. Today most of the treatment is investigation based. Lots of changes too are happening in medical field. Diseases till few decades back considered as untreatable could now be cured. As layman, a patient may not be able to appreciate the requirement of so many investigations but for a medical professional they must be critical. Patients too are sometimes responsible for the mess and contributing to rift for they want quick solutions. Greater communication can bridge

REGULAR MEETING

this trust deficit. The talk generated lot of questions for the audience. Role of insurance companies were also discussed. Missing ethics in medical practice was a hot topic to which Dr Taori shared his experience as President of MCI and how they have taken step to remove unethical practioners from the medical field. Rtn Parag Paranjpe proposed vote of thanks. - Team GO

12TH JUNE - LOSS PREVENTION â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A RELOOK AT OUR SECURITY UNDERSTANDING The weekly meeting of 12th June was address by our own member Rtn Nitin Deveshwar, MD of ESMS Securities (India) Ltd. At the beginning of the meeting, President greeted members on their birthday and anniversary. Chairperson of scholarship committee Rtn Rajiv Behal made announcement of upcoming scholarship distribution to economically backward student of more than 10 schools. It was indeed great feeling to know that two beneficiary girls have excelled in the studies and landed good jobs in IndusInd Bank and as airhostess with Cathay Pacific Airlines. On the topic for the day; Nitin explained the various

aspects of security and new developments taking place in field of security. He also elaborated on difference between security and loss prevention. In India specifically after 26/11, organizations and other private establishments are taking loss prevention as serious matter. Unfortunately police is understaffed in India with just about 30% of the force actually working towards the policing job. Most are deployed for protection of VIP and VVIPs. In his PowerPoint presentation he gave 360-degree view of loss prevention. It is not just about protecting assets but thwarting or neutralizing eminent threat either by protestors, sabotage, competitors etc. In a typical large organization they deploy three layered security structure. The first stage is to detect, second to delay and third to respond with appropriate measures. He also showed various security instruments used at airports, hotels, malls and other high risk prone places. He also explained how enforcement agencies

are using these data collected from different places on a real time basis. The analysis of this data can lead to critical information that could be threat to a person or organisation. Even in home where the chances of attack are remote, loss prevention is of utmost importance. There could be losses due to fire, burglary, gas leakages etc. Loss according to him has different connotations for different people. Large companies take serious efforts in building brands. Lot of money is at stake on these brands. A negative publicity or an incidence can lead to erosion of that brand resulting in losses resulting in millions. Even celebrity and business owners are taking utmost care to prevent 'such losses'. This too is an important aspect of loss prevention probably nobody had thought of. It was very informative and enlightening talk by Nitin thoroughly enjoyed by members present. Rtn Sandeep Dhodapkar gave vote of thanks. - Team GO

In a brightly decked up Millennium Hall at Hotel Centre Point, the Rotary Club of Nagpur members, their families and friends turned up in large numbers to revel in yet another display of entertainment and fellowship that is the hallmark of our club. Set along the lines of The Big Fight, a popular show on TV, this show was titled "The Big Night with Doorknob Comeswamy" a fun take on the recent elections. Characters created after popular politicians like Narendra Modi, Sonia Gandhi, Manmohan Singh, Rahul Gandhi, Jayalalitha, Arvind Kejriwal, Mamata Banerjee etc. were asked fun questions and they replied in hilarious ways accompanied by foot thumping dance numbers where over 50 of our members enthusiastically participated. The show was conceptualised by Director Sohrab Kanga and PP Shabbir Shakir handled the direction and scripting with aplomb. Needless to mention it was a gala evening and everyone present had a great time to round off yet another successful Rotary Year. -Team GO.

BIG DREAMS... BIGGER ACHIEVEMENT the society at large. Born to an erstwhile middle class business family, second of 4 siblings, Preetisudha has grown up seeing Rotary projects. While attending St.Ursula High School she participated in all Interact meets, camps, Tree plantations etc. conducted by Rotary. She was also very active in intra school activities of dance, drama, elocution competitions. A school monitor throughout and the Head Girl in her 10th, Preetisudha had a stable family life till her 10th std. Tragedy struck and her father fell very ill. He used to ply and manage autos and also had a temporary position in the library department of the NMC. But due to ill health the auto business had to be shut. Her mom, a homemaker, was left to manage the house and 4 growing children. In those times of crises she gave her 12th Board exams and was a merit holder. In order to organise funds for her graduation admission, she approached Rtn. Manju Shahani (her grandmother's friend), who in turn introduced her to Rtn.Rajiv Behal, Chairperson, Scholarships Committee. Seeing her exemplary past academic record, a scholarship of Rs. 20,000/ year was awarded to her to complete her Graduation.

She did BBA from Tirpude college, was college topper in all three years and was Nagpur University topper in the second year exams. She is currently pursuing final year MBA (Finance) from Wegian and Leigh College and is concurrently an Asst. Manager with IndusInd Bank in the Forex Department, On completion of her traineeship she hopes to get a break in the finance field in Mumbai or Pune. Preetisudha believes ' Jo Insaan acchha hai uske saath Bhagwaan hai'', Her grandmother is her role model and her tales of keeping her family afloat on the untimely death of her grandfather motivate Preetisudha to focus on her goals. She also reveres Rajiv Behal and the Rotary for supporting her in time of her need. Rajiv Behal's number is stored under ''Superhero'' on her cellphone! There are children of God who are capable of working hard and charting their own course. All they need is a nudge and a push to put them on the path to success. Just a little support can go a long way...It is stories like this which gladden our hearts for doing that little bit which makes all the difference !!

PRESIDENT ELECT – BHARAT GOENKA The family is practically considered as royalty in Akola!! He is passionate about agriculture and hopes to return to his town to look after the soil...Here is a man deeply attached to his roots – Meet the incumbent President Bharat Goenka and his graceful better half Jyoti. His father studied in Elphinstone College in Mumbai and for three years of his graduation program resided in a suite at the Taj Mahal Hotel. His peers referred to him as the ''Prince of Akola “. His mother was from the famous 'Jaipuria' family of 'the Swadeshi Mills' fame and was granted the title -' Rai Bahadur'. Born in Mumbai, Bharatbhai did his early schooling in Akola and went on to Scindia School, Gwalior to do his Senior Cambridge. He reminisces that 10 of them, including first cousins were in Gwalior together simultaneously and they had a whale of a time. Being in a boarding school, he was involved in a variety of sports like swimming, football, cricket horse-riding etc. He then moved to Nagpur to do his BSc (Maths) and BCom. He commenced his business career in 1977, by setting up a tea-blending unit in Akola by branding this tea under the name of 'Amrit Chaay', which was quite popular in all of Vidarbha, Marathwada. He adopted scientific farming for cultivation of all kind of crops & employed almost 400 people to work on their 400-acre farmlands, and established a settlement there consisting of rooms for the staff and godowns. His fascination for bikes enthused him in importing a 350 cc Yamaha bike and was known as the 'Shehzada of Akola'. The family also ran a manufacturing unit 'Jyoti Agro Industries'' to manufacture cottonseed oil. He was a distributor for J.K. white cement and Regency ceramics. He was actively involved in setting up a joint venture companyin India with 'Pagel PSB' of Germany, world leaders in manufacture of construction chemicals. But his zest to do more, he set up office in Nagpur in 1992 as a sales promoter for Terraco India Pvt. Limited. The products he marketed were revolutionary in the field of building finishing material, spray plaster, synthetic plaster etc.

Currently he is into marketing of Ferro Alloys and promoting his own brand of acrylic emulsion paint''Ecoplast''. They initially did a lot of government contracts but now are mainly into townships. His grandmother Radhadevi Goenka was a freedom fighter, a minister in the erstwhile CP & Berar and also established in 1944 an educational institution at Akola, which is now known as ''Radhadevi Goenka College for Women ''. It is one of the larger multi faculty women's colleges in India having almost 3500+ students. Bharatbhai met Jyoti in 1979 and they tied the knot. Jyoti was all of 18 at the time of the marriage and they have practically grown up together. She has fond memories as a pampered young bride with extremely doting in laws. Jyoti is into designing and restoring saris and is in huge demand all the year round, a business she does under the name 'Yashaswini'. She is elegance personified and her sense of style is exemplary!! They have three children, the

CAFE LOUNGE RESTAURANT

ON THE BOARD elder girls Megha and Kanika who both went to a boarding school in Ranikhet called Ashok hall Girls Residential, did BBM and MBA from St. Xavier's College, Mumbai. Megha worked for three years at Google, Hyderabad and is now married and settled there, whereas Kanika is settled in Delhi after marriage. Their son Yashodhan is pursuing CA and is currently doing articleship with a firm M.N. Jain & Co. in Delhi. He is also appearing for GMAT and hopes to do his MBA in the US. Bharatbhai feels that Jyoti is very creative, they have similar likes and she manages the house very well but she has a temper and is very headstrong!! Jyoti on the other hand appreciates that even though she moved from Mumbai to a small town, she has always been given the freedom to live life on her own terms and that she has been given full support. But she is wary of Bharatbhai's silent treatment when he wants to wage a cold war... she also feels he has utilized only 50% of his full potential. PP Manmohan Daga introduced Bharatbhai to Rotary in 1994. He feels that the club has reached great heights in terms of scale of projects and now it is the time to consolidate and reinvent within the boundaries of the bylaws. Under Bharatbhai's able guidance the club is committed to do a matching Grant project with the Rotary club of Montreal. The incumbent District Governor, Rotary Club of Nagpur and the Rotary Club of Montreal will be donating to an NGO – Rural Mothers at Risk for supplying water and basic sanitation to villages in Uganda. This is a very prestigious venture by our club where for the first time in the District a reverse Matching Grant will take place. It is said ''A Task well begun is half done''. Bharatbhai with your attention to details, meticulous planning and fantastic team, we are looking forward to a wonderful year of the Rotary Club of Nagpur. - Hetal Sampat

BOBBY'S BUBBLES On a stormy night many years ago, an elderly man and his wife entered the lobby of a small hotel in Philadelphia, USA. The couple approached the front desk hoping to get some shelter for the night. “Could you possibly give us a room here?” the husband asked. The clerk, a friendly man with a winning smile, looked at the couple and explained that there were three conventions in town. “All of our rooms are taken”, the clerk said. “But I can't send a nice couple like you out into the rain at night. Would you perhaps be willing to?sleep in my room? It's not exactly a suite, but it will be good enough to make you folks comfortable for the night.” When the couple declined, the young man pressed on. “Don't worry about me, I'll make out just fine,” the clerk told them.

FROM RI

So the couple agreed. As he paid his bill the next morning, the elderly man said to the clerk, “You are the kind of manager who should be the boss of the best hotel. Maybe someday I'll build one for you.” The clerk looked at them and smiled. The three of them had a good laugh. As they drove away, the elderly couple agreed that the helpful clerk was indeed exceptional, as finding people who are both friendly and helpful isn't easy. Two years passed. The clerk had almost forgotten the incident when he received a letter from the old man. It recalled that stormy night and enclosed a round-trip ticket to New York, asking the young man to pay them a visit. The old man met him in New York, and led him to the corner of Fifth Avenue and 34th Street. He then pointed to a great new building there, a

pale reddish stone structure, with turrets and watchtowers thrusting up to the sky. “That,” said the old man, “is the hotel I have just built for you to manage." “You must be joking”, the young man said.” I can assure you I am not”, said the old man, a sly smile playing around his mouth. The old man's name was William Waldorf-Astor, and that magnificent structure was the original Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. The young clerk who became its first manager was George C. Boldt. This young clerk never foresaw the turn of events that would lead him to become the top man of one of the world's most glamorous hotels. George C. Boldt -- Genuine compassion will always get rewarded…sometimes most unexpectedly!!!! - Bobby Srinivas

TOP 10 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE NEW ROTARY FOUNDATION FUNDING MODEL

I've been very involved in the development of our Foundation's new funding model and have closely followed the questions being raised about it in social media and elsewhere. The new funding model for The Rotary Foundation was developed because our ability to continue “doing good in the world” depends heavily on the Foundation having long-term financial stability. In the interests of improved communication and understanding of the changes, here are 10 important things to know about the new model, which becomes effective on 1 July 2015. 1. Rotarians and clubs will benefit Rotary's strength lies in the talents and dedication of its members and clubs. The recent recession showed that we must have adequate reserves in our Rotary Foundation to ensure that we don't have to cut programs and services in times of poor investment returns, and the increased volatility in financial markets emphasized the need for an adequate level of reserves. The new funding model is necessary to ensure resources are available to support the work of Rotarians now and in the future. The Foundation's current policy is to maintain an operating reserve equal to three years' worth of operating expenses. 2. PolioPlus Fund contributions are not affected in any way 3. Endowment Fund Contributions are not affected in any way 4. District Designated Funds are not

THE HOTEL CLERK

affected in any way 5. 5% of Annual Fund contributions are set aside from the World Fund After Annual Fund contributions are invested, 50% will continue to go to District Designated Funds (DDF) and 50% to the World Fund. The 5% being set aside to help pay for the Foundation's operating expenses will come from the World Fund, but will only be used if needed to pay those expenses or to fully fund the operating reserve. If they are not needed for those purposes, they may remain in the World Fund for grants. 6. 5% of cash contributions for global grants set aside Under the current system, cash contributed in support of a grant by clubs and districts requires administration, but provides no investment income to meet the cost of that administration, because the funds are not retained by the Foundation for any length of time and therefore do not generate investment income. The 5% set aside from cash contributions for global grants will help pay the costs of processing, etc. It is not uncommon for many clubs to support a single global grant, and some clubs include payments from many members, thus requiring donor recognition to be processed for each contribution. Cash may also need to be converted into one of the 28 official Rotary currencies and then transferred to an international bank account for the project to be implemented. 7. Up to 10% of corporate gifts set aside Using up to 10% of large corporate

contributions for operating expenses is a wellaccepted practice among donors to charities. By obtaining such gifts, the Foundation can increase support for the projects in our areas of focus. Our polio eradication efforts, for example, have benefitted greatly from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's support. Up to 10% of these gifts will contribute to our administration costs, thus leaving more funds to support the grants for clubs and districts. 8. A communication plan is in place The Trustees recognize that open, clear communication fosters Rotarians' continued support of, and active involvement in, Foundation programs. The first step in the funding model communication plan was an announcement on rotary.org with a link to 'Securing Our Foundations Future. Watch for more information in Rotary media, coming soon. 9. Training and resources are being developed Training manuals for officers and committees at the district and club levels are being updated, and webinars and e-learning modules are being developed. For details, contact fundingmodel@rotary.org. 10. The Foundation has a record of financial stewardship and transparency Our Foundation has consistently earned high ratings for sound fiscal management from Charity Navigator and other agencies.

PRANAV & CHETNA SINGHAL

NEW MEMBER Though not a Nagpurian by birth, he feels totally at home in Nagpur. Born & raised in Delhi, in a very renowned family, his grandfather was a Padma Bhushan, Pranav only came to Nagpur, when his dad moved in as the General Manager of the then, Nippon Denro Ispat. His mother took up teaching in the Tata Parsi School. Pranav was sent to St. John's. Then it was B.Com from GS College & then an MBA in Marketing from the University. It was here that he met Chetna Goel & they were attracted to each other instantly. Chetna, who did schooling at Mt. Carmel, BCom from GS College & then MBA in finance, from the University came out with flying colors, winning a Gold Medal! They both graduated in 1999 & wanted to marry but both the sets of parents were against the alliance (though they are both Agrawals). Pranav's parents thought he was not mature enough at 23 & should wait. Chetna's parents wanted a boy with a business background for their daughter. But both Chetna & Pranav were determined & finally the parents had to give in. The wedding happened & the couple moved away to Delhi. Pranav got a job with the Standard Chartered Bank. After a 2-year stint in Delhi, he took up another job & moved to Bangalore for a year. It was the year 2002, they were expecting their first child, Chetna missed her family, the US was shaken up with the 9 / 11 attacks & Pranav lost his job! It was then that they felt, that Nagpur beckoned them. They wanted the security of a family & moved back home, never to look back. Advait came & Aarna followed after almost 6 years. Pranav was settling down, in his new found business. He is a distributor for food & beverages & has his warehouses in MIDC. He is a stockist for Godrej Products & COCO COLA. Chetna has started an Academy, where she holds various after school activities. She has 3 International Programs and Advait Educational Academy is doing well, since the last 3 years. Both Chetna & Pranav, are enjoying the comforts of a joint family & do not even want to think of moving out of Nagpur. Already involved in a lot many club activities, they have gained instant popularity due to their friendly nature. Welcome Pranav & Chetna. We want more members like you! - Manju Shahani

SANDEEP & PREETI VAID Back Home. Yes, that's how Sandeep feels, since he has been inducted in our club. Most of his childhood memories are of his parents totally involved in the Rotary Club of Nagpur. He remembers most senior members, remembers his involvement in fellowships & most of all he remembers the camaraderie that he shared with a lot of our members. A good dancer, even as a kid he was always a part of every fellowship. Both he & his brother enjoyed Rotary as kids. Then, marriage, kids, business kept him away from the scene. He wanted to settle down & then join, so that he could give time to Rotary. Though born in Yamuna Nagar, Sandeep did his schooling from Somalwar & Bishop Cotton. Then it was Commerce at GS College. It was when he was doing his MBA in International Trade, at the Dhanwatey National College that he befriended Preeti. Preeti, a pretty lass from Una, in the Himachal Pradesh, got a seat in Nagpur for MBA (HR). She had appeared for CET in Mumbai, little knowing that she was destined to become a Nagpurian. Born & raised in the valley, she never expected to go beyond Delhi but life had other plans. She finished her MBA & went back home. It was her MiL who fell for her & proposed (marriage to her son) to her. Preeti, daughter of a lawyer & a gynecologist succumbed to Sandeep's charm & her MiL's love. It was Rotary that made her parents accept the proposal right away. Her father a Past President & her mother an active Inner Wheeler, (she is the president currently). They found a security in Rotary & had no qualms about giving away their daughter in such a far off place. So after Sandeep completed a Diploma in Import Export from Bhawans, he joined his father in their business of Surgical Instruments. Today he has a brand in contact lenses to his credit. Marketed as I-OVUE, under the banner of Central India Exports, he has captured a market in 15 odd countries. Married to Preeti, they have 2 children. Mehak, who is 10 & Kanav, 8.

Preeti, who worked for Blue Star for around 11 years, quit last year to start her own business of handicrafts export. She also helps Sandeep, full time & keeps his back office in order. Danny, as he is fondly called was back into his favorite element, less than a month after he joined. We all saw him dancing during the Ladies Nite. Welcome Danny & Preeti! - Manju Shahani

TRAVEL BUG

KENYA – EXPERIENCES OF THE NOT SO WILD TYPE!

Last month, we had driven through the worst road's, and through bush land to reach the haven of Naivasha. In Naivasha, sitting on the lake a beautiful country house – known as the Loldia House was our abode for a night. Divided into two separate units, one main building with rooms around a courtyard, lawns stretching over acres and overlooking the lake, while the other building – a cottage with a fireplace built on a hill, with an attic and an outhouse pantry. Strangely once we were packed into the cottage on the hill, and the vehicle left us, there was no way of moving out! Why? Because the entire track in between these two units was grassland and had Hippos visiting in the night… we could see their shining eyes in the night light's , and yes we

truly felt close to nature… till we reached Masai. Morning breakfast on the lawns with the Impalas, and a surprise awaited us! We were driven to a strip in the middle of the jungle to await a Cessna for our flight to Masai Mara, the last bit of our trip. A small 10 seater aircraft but what an experience! On reaching Mara, you suddenly feel even smaller, a nonsignificant in the animal world! As we sat and sipped drinks on the river side winding across and around the camp… we are fore warned, you can't venture down to the river. As we lunch on the lawns, a wild boar decides to walk past. Kid's move out scurrying, and we get up from the table leaving the food to make way. It's the Rule of the Jungle, “make way for the animals”. So much to see, and so much is

heard of the Safari's already, but a must mention is when we stop near a pride of lions and I am sitting at the edge of the open safari jeep, almost at touching distance, both of us ( the lion and me) staring at each other. Scary feeling. And move on… as we come back to the camp, we see the whole lot of guests standing outside near the lobby hut. We were told that a herd of elephants have entered the camp, and the mahouts are trying to guide them out. Next day morning was truly the best of the trip, the hot air ballooning over the Mara grasslands. The whole trip from getting up at 4am in the morning, and venturing out in the grasslands, to driving down to a stream and crossing in small boats across a river – with crocs? Then climbing up to the place where the massive

hot air balloons are blown up in front of us, and we board them, fully excited to take in the sunrise and watch the scattering of animals and wildlife, birds across the trees and the grasslands. Though the best part is when we land. Eight in a basket, with full speed. Am bham! We are all top turvy, on each other laughing like crazy , trying to scramble and get into a jeep before the cheetah's get us. Finally on the last day we gear up for the long drive back from Mara to Nairobi. We enter Nairobi and make our way to the Carnivore! Who hasn't heard of that restaurant… you get meats of the most varied kinds and though I don't eat meat, the experience of seeing it skewered and served can be quite daunting, for people who like to taste everything under the sun…. it's definitely a place not to be missed. Passing through the worst traffic in the world I think ( yes worse than India also), we visited the Giraffe Centre. I will end this sojourn to Kenya at the Giraffe centre – with the experience of feeding vegetable pellets with a hand to these beautiful sublime animals having the longest and most slimey tongues ever! Was I the only one who does such things… giraffes in Kenya, Reindeer feeding in Aveimore… elephant feeding in Bali next? Till next time… -Farzana Haque

GEEK SPEAK

INTERESTING & EDUCATIONAL

iOS 8 - Call/SMS from your iPad or Mac and much more If you have an iPhone 4S or later or iPad 2 or later, there is good news for you. Apple has launched iOS8 beta during its Word Wide Developer Conference last month and you will be soon able to upgrade to latest and most advanced mobile operating system as Apple likes to call it.

Let's talk about some of the major features: 1. Continuity – You will be able to receive and make calls and SMS from your iPad and Mac. Call/SMS will be routed using your iPhone in the same network. Also you'll be able to start a task on one device (say, composing an email) and finish on the other. 2. New Keyboard – Keyboard will come with predictive typing mode which can predict what you want to type, however this feature won't be available in India immediately, however there is good news here as well. Apple is now allowing you to install third-party keyboards and use them instead of default keyboard, so get ready to Swype on iPhone soon. 3. Family Sharing – It lets different Apple users (even with different Apple Ids) share all content they've downloaded from iTunes. Up to six people can be designated family members, and it provides a great solution to the problem of kids downloading paid apps on their parents' credit cards: With Family Sharing, the parent gets notified, and then can grant or deny the purchase. 4. Interactive Notifications - Just need to reply to a message with a single word? Why do you have to launch Messages for that? In iOS 8, you can just pull down on the banner that appears and you can type your reply. Swiping an alert to the left will reveal Reply/Dismiss buttons, letting you do things faster without unlocking your phone. And if you're concerned about security implications, you can disable this feature. 5. Health - The new Health app is straightforward: It provides a central place for all the health and fitness information you're storing on the iPhone. Many apps, such as Nike+ and Fitbit, do this individually, but now those apps will be able to integrate into one app. Apple is also partnering with healthcare providers to help bring the iPhone health data to the doctors and care specialists who can really do something with it. These are just some of the main features and there are many new features coming up with iOS8. Apple is soon launching iPhone6 as well and most probably you will have bigger screen options with new iPhones. Finally for readers who don't like Apple or iOS, there is a new phone in town, Amazon just launched Fire Phone which runs a custom Android on it. It has got some really cool features, like you can scroll without touching the phone, just tilt it. There are many such gesture options available on Fire Phone. Hope you liked reading my column this year. Thanks and Good Bye. Sachin Palewar
