Best Club in the District

Vocational Visit to Dinshaws Ice-cream Factory

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

President’s Message

Dear Members of Rotary Club of Nagpur,

I regretfully submit my resignation as Editor of

this prestigious magazine 'Golden Orange' th effective 30 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.

MY VOICE- Letters To The Editor

BEST LETTER

Dear

Rtn. Prashantji,

In continuation to my last letter I

have just received your April &

“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

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

Your Friends,

PDG JAGMOHAN KATAKIA

District 3040 (1994-95)

Dear Editor,

Th rough the GO, my co -

chairpersons 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

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

Dear Parag,

You must be busy giving finishing

touches to the last issue of Golden

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.

Our Club Bulletin, The Golden Orange has

evolved from its typed, cyclo styled,

photocopied, rota-printed and art-paper part

color printed editions, to morph into a full color

high quality glossy magazine over the years.

It has also seen the content transform from

pure Rotary information bulletin to

encompass various prize winning avatars

under capable and creative editors. As yet

another rotary year comes to an end, we invite

your suggestions on the features and content

so that we can endeavor to align it to your

interests and to make it more universally

readable; be it coverage, regular features,

leisure, travel or other content.

Saturday 14th June saw the last of this year's fellowships ... the most awaited Ladies Night. 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.

NEW MEMBERPRANAV & CHETNA SINGHAL

SANDEEP & PREETI VAIDBack 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

Preeti, who worked for Blue Star for around 11 years, quit last year to giving away their daughter in such a far off place. So after Sandeep start her own business of handicrafts export. She also helps Sandeep, completed a Diploma in Import Export from Bhawans, he joined his full time & keeps his back office in order.

Marketed as I-OVUE, under the banner of We all saw him dancing during the Ladies Nite. Welcome Danny & 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! - Manju Shahani

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

GEEK SPEAK

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.
