PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
We are proud to have our ninth issue of Jaycee Herald. Jaycee herald is providing a platform for all of us to put in your creative efforts. I request all the members to keep contributing and we can make this small bulletin a worthwhile read. Through the month…. We had great fun in July as our hands were full of programs. JCI Trichur unearthed its great team spirit once again by coming together. It was befitting to JCI Trichur’s legacy that we pulled in our resources to take on the challenges. Your president attended the ‘Review to React’ meeting hosted by JCI Triprayar. ZGB members and others who were present in the meeting congratulated JCI Trichur for our efforts and urged us to continue in the same pace. We had another feather in our cap, as in the training area, we were the first chapter to host JCI International course of Effective Leadership. It was a very proud moment for all of us, that our own Jci. Sen. Ranjith Kollanur was the faculty for this course. It was the maiden effort by Ranjith and other experienced trainers who attended the course, congratulated Ranjith on his efforts. 14 participants attended the course which was held at Hotel Pooram International. We had a great opportunity provided by our dear members, where by the members sponsored the study materials for school children and it was a happy moment for all of us as this was routed through JCI Trichur. We could assist more than 40 students in two schools through this assistance and it was great joy to see the sparkle in the eyes of small kids who
received the materials. I thank the dear members who contributed to this noble cause. Our Secretary Sajith’s passion for blood donation helped in arranging a blood donation camp in IMA Trichur. It was a great motivation to see our dear Sanoj Alappat donating blood for the first time on his birthday. We salute the great deed by our dear members. Special mention should be made of our Lady Leaders Jc. Vinitha Sajith and Jc.Dr. Sangeeta Sudhir who came forward to donate blood. We distributed frocks to all the 71 girl students of GLP School Perumanoor and also officially handed over playing materials to the Kindergarten students. Prof. Nirmala Parameswaran took a class on Parenting and it was a real motivational class to the parents of the school and it was an eye opener for our dear members present there to the challenges faced by women of Rural Kerala. I thank Jc. Ramachandran who spearheaded the project and the able assistance given by Ranjith. Our Secretary Sajith had his lifetime dream coming true this month, as he participated in the Himalayan Odyssey conducted by Royal Enfield. It was really challenging terrain and we congratulate Sajith on his achievement. Marisa Ranjith celebrated her birthday with us and we thank Ranjith and Betty for their beautiful gesture. We conducted National Level Talent Search Examination in two schools and around 350 students participated in the exam. It was a wonderful experience for all of us. I thank our PZP John Paul for the efforts he has taken. One of our great project was “Nothing but Nets” where we provided Medicated Mosquito Nets to the needy to combat mosquito related diseases. We could supply such 49 nets to the migrant workers in and around Athani. I thank our IPP. Jojo and dear Manoj K V for their great efforts.
We always forget to recognize the great efforts taken by our dear ones. I would like to recognize and thank the great efforts our Jcrt. Chair Person Jc. Swapna is taking in coordinating the efforts of Jcrt Wing and JJ activities. Personally for me, it was a great learning month. I would like to thank the great efforts taken by our Program Director of Kindafest Jci. Sen. Sudhir Achuthan for the great efforts he is taking to make our kindafest a great success. I would like to thank all the members who supported us and who attended the Kit packing meeting.
Once upon a time two brothers who lived on adjoining farms fell into conflict. It was the first serious rift in 40 years of farming side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labour and goods as needed without a hitch. Then the long collaboration fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence. One morning there was a knock on John's door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter's toolbox. "I'm looking for a few days work," he said. "Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there. Could I help you?" "Yes," said the older brother. "I do have a job for you. Look across the creek at that farm. That's my neighbour, in fact, it's my younger brother. Last week there was a meadow between us and he took his bulldozer to the river levee and now there is a creek between us. Well, he may have done this to spite me, but I'll go him one better. See that pile of lumber curing by the barn? I want you to build me a fence - an 8-foot fence - so I won't need to see his place anymore. Cool him down, anyhow." The carpenter said, "I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and the post-hole digger and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you." The older brother had to go to town for supplies, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day. The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing, nailing.
About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer's eyes opened wide, his jaw dropped. There was no fence there at all. It was a bridge... a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work handrails and all - and the neighbor, his younger brother, was coming across, his hand outstretched. "You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I've said and done." The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other's hand. They turned to see the carpenter hoist his toolbox on his shoulder. "No, wait! Stay a few days. I've a lot of other projects for you," said the older brother. "I'd love to stay on," the carpenter said, "but, I have many more bridges to build.
Let us try to build more bridges between our friends‌. Thanking you, Yours truly Jc HGF CA Manoj Kumar.M President
From the shelves of JCI Trichur Library Litanies of Dutch Battery by NS Madhavan Translated by Rajesh Rammohan
Publisher – Penguin; Year of Publication – 2010; Pages – 312 Written originally in Malayalam as Lanthanbatheriyile Luthiniyakal, NS Madhavan has portrayed a fictional society drifting on an elusive isle in the backwaters around Kochi. Set in the period immediately after the British departure from Kochi, it brings forward the societal nuances of the people living in that era mixing it with the dynamic environment that they found themselves in. The 1950s was a tumultuous period for Kochi. After centuries of self rule, the kings of Kochi had been kicked out of power with the independence of India. As the state integrated into India, it was exposed to many newer cultural and social influences from the much larger nation ranging from the songs of Saigal to sugar which used to be rare in Kerala. The British sway was on the vain but still very much evident. Communism was on the rise, and would have a lasting influence on the Kerala society later in the decade, extending the reforms of the kings to all the Malayali people. There were concerns of the changing order and hopes of a better future prevalent among the people. It is to this time that our protagonist, Jessica, is born.
Jessica is born as the daughter of the local carpenter in a tiny fictional islet near Ponjikkara off Ernakulam. While the story of her life bears a close resemblance to the life of Jesus Christ, beyond adding a certain predictability and curiosity to the story, it adds very little substance. As an only child, she carries the burden of her family, but that does not limit her free flowing character. She narrates the story from the view of a growing child which adds an interesting dimension as the book discusses serious topics like faith and communism. While Jessica is the narrator of the story, the book is not centred on her. Chavittunadakam plays the role of a credible guest star with many of the characters in the novel immersed in the preparation of skit based on a mistranslated, incorrect and exaggerated work from French medieval history. The plot goes awry when the Church who commissions the play asks to fictionalize it even further. Most of the characters have some level of artistic skill and craftsmanship including carpentry and cooking and there is a plethora of trivia available in the book on these professions. The book is peppered with tales from the history of the Cochin islands adding to the fascinating backdrop of the novel. The author has presented the characters in a jovial manner carefully revealing their ambitions and angst with everyday life. But it is his portrayal of the society that retains a lasting effect. He has managed to construct a humorous but nevertheless serious view of the events of early post independence Kerala. JCI Sen.

MY FAVOURITE TREES by Pranav Manoj
Trees are my grandfather’s best friends. And now mine too. Want to know more about trees?
This is a mango tree from my grandfather’s courtyard. Last summer we got lots and lots of mangoes from this tree. The mangoes used to fall down on their own and my sister and myself used to run around and pick them up. My grandmother knows how to make delicious items from raw mango and ripe mango. My mother’s mango milk shake is really yummy.
Have you eaten jack fruits – the king of all fruits? Ripe jack fruits are really yummy. But my father likes dishes made from raw jack fruits. Like jack fruits, its trees are also huge. I wanted to show you a full picture of our jack fruit tree, but it is so huge that it was really difficult for my mother to keep myself and the tree in a single picture! So if you really want to see the huge tree as a whole, welcome to my house.
Coconut tree...from where we get big heavy coconuts. I love to eat grated coconut with sugar when my mother is not around. Thanks to my grandfather - who always helps me to do that! My sister has told me that this tree is a special one because every part of it is useful to us in one way or other. She learned about it from her school books. Whenever I see tender coconuts on the road side I cry for them. But the juice inside is too much for my small belly.
Plantain tree – I love small ripe bananas. Actually I hate the raw banana dishes that my mother makes, but she always says it would make me stronger. For my last birthday we all had sadya on big banana leaves. My mother had prepared so many dishes and it was really difficult to serve them all in a normal plate. Have you tasted the honey from the banana flower? Oh, it’s real fun to have that special honey oozing out from the purple coloured banana flower.
Banyan tree – The king of all trees. It is so huge with lots of big branches and small leaves all over. My parents love to sit under it and take the fresh air whenever we go to temples. My sister and myself would run around there enjoying the small breeze. When I went to my cousin’s place in Baroda, I saw many banyan trees with their roots hanging from the branches. My father told me they are called root banyan trees. The banyan tree in this picture is very old – as old as our great great grandfathers.
