Thinker-bell, Rtr. Jiya Jaisingh and

Quirk Queen Rtr. Simiran Lalvani team

up to give you another dose of Koffee with

this issue of Zing.

Koffee with KKKK-Karan Zohar

KZo: Welcome to another interesting episode of

Koffee with Kkkk-Karan Zohar! Today, we have with us,

telly-wood queen (or not) Fake-ta Kapoor!

Fake-ta: Thankyou Kkkaranji. Arre wah, aapka naam

shubh letter “k” se shuru hota hai! All your movies

should be hits, so...

KZo: * Interrupts* All your shows also begin with “k”,

but what happens to them? Anyway, according to our

sources it seems that Fake-ta Kapoor is on the hunt for

a husband! Is a swayamwar on the cards?

Fake-ta: *flips her hair and relentlessly chews her

gum * Well, no!

KZo: Are you looking for someone whose name starts

with “k”?

Fake-ta: *gives her 12,397th

episode completion

smile* Yes, yes Kkkaran!

KZo: This is the perfect platform to reveal your to-be-

husband!

Fake-ta: Kkkk-karan well all I can say is I want to

have Koffee with you everyday *blushes*

KZo: * Gives the after KANK release look* Um, you

can take away the hamper; clearly, you’re a winner

and also sign the koffee mug! Thank-you!

Fake-ta: Par kya aap....* musical interlude *

We wonder what actually happened after Fake-

ta popped the question! Did Kkkk-Karan say yes?

Did the sets of Kkkk-koffee with Karan magically

turn into a KkkkKabhie KKKKhushi Kkkkabhie Gham set? Did a certain KkkKhan come in the

way? Honestly, do we even Kkkk-care? =P

As I pen this note, I’m going through a gamut of emotions. High on

RYLA, anxious about Battle of the Avenues, excited about L.A.X, sad

that I’ll soon be leaving on a long study break and glad that I have a

fantastic Co-ordinator in Simiran to aid my adorable “Eddy” a.k.a

Nilofer. Whoa! Too much to say but I’ll try and keep it short and

sweet! (For a change ;)!)

A big hug and a “thank you” to Devanshi

“NotQuiteTheGirlNextDoor” Sanghvi, Siddhi “TheSlickMaverick”

Desai, Aditya “Adidavinci” Shah, Nishita “CrazyChameleon”

Kulkarni, Jiya “ThinkerBell” Jaisingh, Devyani

“MissGoodyTwoShoes” Shah, Anuja “RaapchikRobin” Pardeshi and

Simiran “QuirkQueen” Lalvani. You guys have simply been the BEST!

We, Ed and Eddy couldn’t have done without you our “Co.”.

Together as “Ed, Eddy and Co.” we are one tough force to reckon

with. Waiting for March, when we will ‘together’ return with a bang!

As for the newly elected co-ordinators, you’ll are one fab

bunch! Wishing you guys the very best! Given you guys the footage

you’ll deserve ;) (Check out the last page :P) As for our AWESOME GB

6. You like:

B) Safety

C) Crowds

D) Danger

Most Number of A’s:

Your partner’s raashee could be: Cancer, Pisces, or Scorpio

Water signs are dreamers, poets that need to express themselves, great listeners and

highly intuitive as well as sensitive. The mistake that many people make with a water sign

is that they misinterpret sensitivity for being a pushover. Take note: Sensitive means they

can read you like a book by just listening to you, making them very manipulative if they

need to be. So be very careful and never underestimate a water sign. Never think you're

pulling a fast one on them. You could in for a surprise! ;)

Most Number of B’s:

Your partner’s raashee could be: Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn

Earth signs tend to be practical and live for creating a better life for themselves, either by

working hard or getting together with a partner who possesses great connections. These

zodiac signs are all about security. They can be extremely patient and tolerant in the

name of love or power. But when dealing with them you must read the fine print where it

states that they are only patient and tolerant with those who they either love, care about

or have something to gain from. They can be extremely charming; they can melt the

coldest of hearts if they are interested. The downside to them is that they may trade fun

time for work time. Bottom line- they can be charming and lovable but also cold and

calculating.

Most Number of C’s:

Your partner’s raashee could be: Gemini, Libra or Aquarius

Air signs are full of fresh ideas and are almost always planning and thinking big. They can

be a bit unrealistic but that's part of their charm. They tend to make ordinary things look

fantastical. They may be accused of not being warm hearted because of their analytical

point of view but don't be fooled, these persons can be very intense when they believe in

something or fall in love. They have great communications skills and are extremely social

bumble bees. These persons are at their best when working on new ideas be it for fun or

business. The downside to these persons is their need for constant mental stimulation. A

lack of it can lead to restlessness. They need to apply those nervous energies on

something productive or they can become moody and overly sensitive.

Most Number of D’s:

Your partner’s raashee could be: Aries, Leo or Sagittarius.

Fire signs tend to have an aggressive nature to them but that does not mean that these

people are mean cold hearted individuals. On the contrary, they are very caring and

giving. They love to be admired so if you want to be on their good side never talk down

or laugh at them when they are being serious. If you feel brave enough to do so, just be

warned- the hot melting lava of a erupting volcano is nothing compared to the

temperament of these fiery people. Give them plenty of compliments and encourage

their hopes and dreams and you'll have a lover who can be extremely generous by your

side!

RCJCMUN 15th and 16th of November, Jai Hind College had been taken over by the International Service Avenue. Whizzing sound of walkie-talkies, shiny laptops, everyone rushing around like very important persons in crisp formals and impeccably set hair, with huge important looking identity cards hung in their necks, girls in their vertigo-giving high heels and boys in their ravishing suits all geared up for a MUN-ing experience of their lives. The event went on for two days, thus leaving the organizing committee members and persons in charge, sleep deprived, despite which they were warm and cordial to all participants. The second day saw a fun prize distribution ceremony and some interesting speeches. Two days of points of order, points of personal privilege, points of information and hold on, the OC’s already crying over the good old days!

“A LITTLE BIRDIE CHIRPED THAT…”

Tweet Tweet! Howdy, folks! I’m back and I’m jolly glad this time around! The oh-so-sweet editors and their team gave me two

full pages to tweet! Good riddance, 140 characters! ;) I’ve checked out my crystal ball. Wanna know more? Read on…

ARIES- The Ram [♈♈♈♈] [March 21 to April 19] The Aries zodiac sign which is a fire sign of the cardinal and personal categories is usually an individual who likes to lead. They are hyper, energetic and friendly. They an be stubborn at times when they think that they are right and can be selfish in that sense, but they usually have a good bunch of friends. They are courageous, freedom-lovers who are always ready for more new and tougher challenges. RCJC has a typical Arien on board and he is our very own Club Service director, Siddharth Sahu! Like every other person of the Aries zodiac sign, he too is always packed with energy amd is a crowd pleaser. It seems that an Arian is usually compatible with either Aquarius or Gemini signed people. Yash Shroff or Qais Husein could be your BFF, Sahu! Maybe, it’s time to move beyond the BlackBerry Boys! ;)

PISCES- The Two Fish [♓♓♓♓] [February 19 to March 20] The Pisces [mutable, transpersonal] is a water sign. They are usually very difficult to spot because they exude the characteristic of all the other 11 zodiac signs. They are generous, caring and kind. But they sometimes are a bit too selfless. They tend to change their mind a lot too. Due to their nurturing personality, they are pretty popular with people, although they can be eccentric at times. Our Editor-in-Chief, Nilofer Rehman is a Pisces! And yes she really is the Mother Teresa types! She does tend to be a bit fickle minded while making decisions but fortunately or unfortunately, her co-director seems to be decisive enough! Pisces are usually compatible with Capricorn and Taurus. Nillo, Priyanka could be your soul sister, you never know! ;)

TAURUS- The Bull [♉♉♉♉] [April 20 to May 20] The Earth signed Taurian is quite much fixed and personal in nature. The Taurus is very determined yet peaceful. They are very sanguine people with a really good sense of humor. They are dependable and righteous and can sacrifice relationships for their values. They don’t believe in violence but can easily fight for someone or themselves if instigated. Joint secretary Dhruti Chheda is a true Taurus as she is always very happy-go-lucky and can be relied on to do her job. The ones that a Taurus is comfortable with are the signs Cancer and Pisces. They are known to be determined and dependable. Dhruti, You could be the next “Dhaval” of RCJC!

LEO- The Lion [♌♌♌♌] [July 23 to August 22] An interpersonal and fixed zodiac, that’s what the fiery Leo can be perfectly described by. A Leo is very materialistic and ambitious, that is

they just survive without their goods and gadgets. They are very charismatic and extroverted personality-wise, thus making them a real

crowd pleaser. They are pretty eloquent with their words and tend to be mild-mannered and very helpful, that too without expecting

anything in return.

President, Saksham Mendiratta is a very good example of a Leo. With a duck-like persona, he looks calm on the surface and toils to flap

his fins below the water. Leos love to be noticed, admired and appreciated and practically thrive on flattery.Boy, don’t we know that? ;) He

may also sulk if his needs are not met immediately. Hansika seems to agree with me! =P Leos are known to jell with Geminis and Librans.

Ever considered Kamya, Saksham?

Gemini - The twins [♊♊♊♊]]]] [May 21st to June 20th]

This Zodiac sign the Air sign out of the lot. The people that fall under this category of mutable and personal and possess a virtue of knowledge and are well rounded individuals who always keep them selves well informed. Their key quality is that they are masters of communication, and that they are easy to be-friend. They tend to be perfectionists but that just enhances their personality! They are always concerned about different individuals. Our very own BOD, Qais Husein is a perfect fit! He's an amazing communicator, making sure all the units of the RCJC are well in sync. Easy to befriend, he has a number of friends! A Gemini person is usually compatible with an Aries or Leo. Do we see a bro-mance forming between Qais, Sahu and Saksham? Cancer: The Crab [♋] [June 21 to July 22]

This Water sign is cardinal and personal. A Cancerian is known to be emotionally reserved, even though they might portray a different mask on the outside. They will always become quiet when in a pensive mood. They are famous for their creativity. Always concerned about the society, they work towards making it a better place. Their sensitivity makes them aggresive and defensive at times. Their imagination makes up for everything else, as they soar and excel because of it. The apt Cancerian who fits the bill is Aditi Verma. Perfectly fitted into the IS avenue, she does her job. She is a sensitive as well as a highly imaginative and creative BOD, working wonders for the club with her ideas. Cancerians are known to be compatible with Virgo and Taurus signed people. Well this may come as a surprise to you Aditi, but you are compatible with Aditya! Seems like it was destined for this Tom and

Jerry to get along…eventually! ;) Aquarius: the water carrier [♒] [January 20 to February 18]

Air based Aquarians are again, very well rounded individuals, excelling in various fields. They are fixed and transpersonal. They set high standards for themselves in their academic as well as extra curricular lives. They are very quick to express their opinions.They are lively, inventive and original. They are also extremely laidback. They revel in the motto “being different" They are very difficult to get close to, but once that hurdle is crossed, you will not find a more loyal person. They can also be very chaotic, rigid, and can have a very dont-care attitude towards people’s feelings. One of our own BOD’s, Yash Shroff matches up to be the perfect Aquarian. An excellent sportsman, he has excelled in this field. He is an extremely loyal friend, always ready to help people out in dire situations. He is a very determined person, and very persistant, whether it is about work or other things ;). Known to be compatible with Aries and Sagittarius, we do see that Henal and Yash are birds of a feather as they both are very determined, helpful yet oddly enigmatic.

LIBRA: The Scales [♎♎♎♎] [September 23 to October 22] The air signed Librans are said to be Diplomats, the cardinal and interpersonal zodiac is always keeping the balance steady and not letting the scales tip. They are easy going and friendly too. They are strong believers of being just in every situation, hence the sign of the scales! They can be a tad bit indecisive. They are blessed with leadership qualities that take them far. They are concerned with societal problems. Kamya, our Community service BOD, stays true to her signs qualities. She never seems to show what her preferences usually are! =P but she does manage to be a very breezy personality like every other Libran and also cares a lot for the society, no wonder she’s the Community service director! Known to look younger than their actual age, Kamya is quite the kid indeed! Librans tend to be more comfy with the Leo and Sagittarius zodiacs. You and Vikram may be two of a kind Kamya! =D

Sagittarius - The archer [♐♐♐♐] [November 22 to December 21] Sagittarius is a mutable, transpersonal fire sign. They are known to be optimistic, honest and open minded. They love traveling, learning and exploring. They are adventurous and are often spiritual and philosophical. They have an excellent sense of timing and are always curious. They value freedom above security. We too have a Sagi in RCJC and that is our very own Vikram Patel. Vikram is a very open minded and sincere person who is always seeking for a new challenge. Well, a Sagi is known to be most compatible with Aquarius and Libra signed people. Vikram should plan a spiritual journey with both the Yash’s and keep chanting ‘Om’. That would probably give more “yash” to Vikram in the club. ;)

Scorpio - The scorpion [♏♏♏♏] [October 23 to November 21] Scorpio is a fixed; water sign.Their outstanding attributes are passion, patience and intensity. They are emotional at times and are known to be extremists. Scorpions are mysterious, even to themselves. They often have a strong jealous streak and love taking risks. Their personalities are seductive. Towards those whom they love, scorpions are fiercely protective and compassionate. They also are slow in matters of trusting people and have a powerful gaze or piercing eyes. Purav Shah is such a dashing and seductive personality in our BOD ;). He is fierce yet conservative and is also very egoistic. Scorpions are most comfortable with Capricorn and Virgo signed people. How about Behnaz, Purav? You sure seem to have a thing for bawis! And it seems like this bawi fascination is not just restricted to the BOD *ahem* ;)

Virgo - The virgin [♍♍♍♍] [August 23 to September 22] Virgo is a mutable, interpersonal earth sign. Their endless capacity for hard work, the purity of their motives and desire to improve upon what exists are some of their best attributes. They are very reliable, logical and practical about what they do. They tend to fuss over minor details and often have an obsession about something. Virgos are known to be cautious and choosy too. Behnaz, Aditya and Wayne are all virgins…er…Virgos. ;) They strive for perfectionism. Virgos are also known to be extremely eloquent. They do not shy away from saying what’s on their mind and can be extremely critical at times. They can be fussy at times. Do we see their co-directors nodding their heads in agreement? Virgos are most compatible with Cancer and Scorpio. While Aditya already gets along with Cancerian, Aditi like a house on fire; Wayne, you could make a friend in Purav while Behnaz, you could rely on Khushali as you climb your success ki seedi!

Capricorn - The goat [♑♑♑♑] [December 22 to January 19] Capricorn is a cardinal, transpersonal earth sign. Capricorns are usually classy, reliable and thoughtful. They tend to keep their promises. They have excellent sense of humour and get along well with everyone. They are self conscious at times and are pretty sensitive. Many Capricorns have musical talents and are very ambitious. They are known as the old souls of the zodiac as they seem older and mature when they are young. They are fun to be with and have a pleasing personality. Capricornians are compatible with people from the zodiac signs of Aries, Pisces and Scorpio. Do we see all our Capricornian GB members making a dash for Scorpion, Purav? Try your luck, girls! ;) If your luck is not bright on that front, you could then make a friend in Piscean, Nilofer. She’d double up as your agony aunt ;) =P As for the Capricorn guys, don’t be too dejected! You could make Bhargav who is an Arian, your football buddy! =)

ASTROLOGY: THUMBS UP Astrology oh boy! This is one word that excites me the most! People usually begin a conversation with a ‘Hello! What’s your name?’ I begin it with a ‘Hi! What’s your sun sign?’ I believe a sun sign can reveal a lot about a person’s character than how much he/she portrays. It’s a secret formula to an individual’s hidden personality. It gives us a magical power to judge a person much before we get to know him personally. Sun signs can tell us so much about a person’s character, nature, personality, likes, dislikes, compatibilities and what not. Nowadays, people decide their potential partners on the basis of astrology. Every sun sign has a different zing to it all together. Some are dynamic (Aries and Gemini), some sober (Aquarius), some emotional (Pisces), some adventurous (Aries and Gemini), some jealous (Scorpio), some particular and tidy (Virgo), some witty (Gemini), some balanced (Libra), some leaders (Leo), etc. On the basis of their respective characters, one can decide what kind of character the person in question would want the most in his partner and choose him accordingly. For example, the AIR signs are considered the MOST COMPATIBLE with the FIRE signs. The general notion is that air fans the flames of the fire and fire warms air and thus they are the best suited for each other. So many marriages have broken due to incompatibility. Blame it on the sun signs! This accusation won’t be wrong. Some sun signs just don’t relate to each other. For example, WATER signs are the MOST INCOMPATIBLE with the FIRE signs. The general notion is that water extinguishes the fire and hence they can never get along with each other. They might try to work it out, but they won’t be very happy together considering their varied interests and bang opposite personalities. Astrology can also tell you which career suits you the best according to your personality and interests. For example, a Gemini, the communicator, the witty one, the crazy one, the multi-tasking one, etc has options like acting, reporting, ad writing, orating, news commentating, linguist, etc. The Leo possessing

leadership skills can make a great businessman.

In this way, astrology can shape the personality of an individual and help him with career and love

related decisions. Truly, ASTROLOGY ROCKS!

…ASTROLOGICAL OR ILLOGICAL? Superstition is to religion what astrology is to astronomy: the mad daughter of a wise mother.

- VOLTAIRE Horoscope? It’s more like ‘Horrorscope’ to me! More horror less scope, but then why do people cope? In this modern world of machines and monotony why do we still clutch on to the blind faith of astrology? Well, call me cynical but my theory is that horoscope to a layman is like a night lamp to a child. It keeps the boogeyman of uncertainty away. I mean seriously is it logical in any way that carrying a pink handkerchief instead of a normal one will bring you a name, fame and success? So you might argue that they have been true for you a lot of times; but anyways what are the odds? Out of 365 days it surely can come true a couple of times, but that’s just pure co-incidence. And what about a person who doesn’t know their birthday, don’t the fates and the stars affect them too? It is just absurd to go on with what some random stranger told you and change your whole life just because they told you so! And if astrology is still firmly your belief, then can one justify why every astrologers’ prophecy is different? We’ve been told numerous times in the past that the world is coming to an end on a particular day. Every instance was proved incorrect. However, they just don’t quit! 20th December, 2012 is their next prediction! If one has a certain ‘impurity’ in their birth chart, they are shackled for like and can’t even do the things they love and need to be told who to love. But tell me, can you ‘choose’ to love someone? So let’s judge the people over the matter now. When did pious people suddenly start traveling in BMW’s? And do they get their prophecies better in AC rooms that they crave money so much? It’s just blasphemy! These imposters have no right to mould the delicate psyche of gullible individuals by claiming that they can know before anyone else could what is bound to happen, and even if that were true then why don’t we see them not predicting about natural calamities, bomb blasts and other such disasters and saving the lives of scores of innocent people; the answer is pretty simple, they can’t do what they claim! And the fact that we actually get affected by what they say and follow what they tell us to do like puppets only proves that they’ve successfully fooled us all and the joke is on us. And why are people so anxious of knowing what lies ahead, it is going to happen in a matter of time, isn’t it? It’s like reading the last chapter of a thriller novel. So why don’t we just embrace live as it is? A short cut is the wrong cut, anyways. Let’s trust more on determination , dignity and the passion and focus to fulfill ones dreams no matter what rather than believing in cards, stones and parrots!

Club lunch at Candies. The whole RCJC family, a beautiful place and of course lots of good food! The perfect way to bond. And that’s exactly what everyone did at the Club Lunch at Candies in Bandra. Organised by the avenue of Club Service, this event saw a great turn out ☺ Lots of talking, gossiping and having fun! Time just flew by! Candies is an amazing place but the RCJC experience is something else altogether! Must say, this was an awesome idea. Kudos to our Club Serv. directors =)

TUNE IN… BEDROCK…it was like a chant on everyone’s lips; and one can be sure that a radio channel like bedrock can certainly not be found on this planet at least! From ‘Rocking your bed all night’ to being your ‘Raat ka saath’, to being a ‘channel that needs no taglines’ it was truly a group of Rjs that could only be found in a troop of Rcjc members! All the future Rj’s came with their advice and Pj’s in the first round, had a tryst with their callers and fans in the second round and then last but not the least, every finalist had to interview the best of B-town, and it certainly had hilarious results! From Bebo to a Shroff playing a Dutt to Duggu to dumb Tusshar [it’s up to you to decide which dumb we mean!] and the South Indian Stud himself, yes even Rajnikanth was there [and apparently he just couldn’t stop shaking his legs for some reason, is that some sort of fitness secret? We’d love to know!] There was every star, starlet and everything in between was present there. Well the event was a total success with even our buddy council member to judge the fresh new faces…er voices. So the club service once again managed to thoroughly entice and entertain us with this one! Keep up the good work!

Hamaara Salaam

‘Hamaara Salaam’ was a project organized by the Community service in the last wek of November. It was held to pay a tribute to the brave martyrs of 26th Novemeber terror attacks that happened 2 years ago. The Mumbai policemen fought heroically at VT station and protected our fellow Indians. Candles were made by the Rtr’s and given to the valiant heroes.

Fright Night.

Halloween is not something we rave about here in India. So our dear Tom and Jerry (aditya and aditi) thought, “Why Not!” ;) Fright Night, the Halloween party organised by the avenue of International Service was held on a Yatch (yea, that’s right! B)). And it did drizzle a little initially, but nature decided not to play spoil sport and instead there was a little bit of lightening in the sky that suited the “fright” mood just fine! Frankensteins, vampires and devils came back to life! And the 1st thing they did after their rebirth? Partied of course! And how! =)

JAM ‘Jam’ was held in the 3rd week of November. It was a fun filled event and it was a wonderful sight seeing participants fumble, change tempos, make mistakes and a hell lot of buzzing. The professional development really succeeded in having a great event.

THE DECODED

On the 30th of November, rotaractors set out in teams to solve some codes and clues and finish a race laden with trips around the city, in an event called Decoded. The format was similar to that of a popular television show called The Amazing Race. Participants were expected to be quick and adventurous. They were given a list of places they had to go to and perform tasks; the list with the names of places and tasks was coded and thus began thus began the mighty task of decoding!

International Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (Int’l RYLA) | Adventure Unlimited |Team Building | Burning the Dance Floor | Living in a parallel world | Hitting the ramp | Making great friends to last a lifetime | Campfire nights | Early morning Yoga| Overcoming your fears |Becoming a Leader | An Exhilirating experience | When you put the above little pieces together, you get one AWESOME jigsaw puzzle known as the International Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, more popularly referred to as Int’l RYLA. The Int’l RYLA 2010 was organised by the Rotary Club of Bombay Pier. It was a three-day, two-night adventure camp at the Golden Pond Resort, Silvassa.

Best Project: Zing Sept 2010

(Chairpersons- Rtr.Wayne

D’Cruz, Rtr. Nilofer Rehman

and team. (Ed. Eddy & Co.) =D)

President’s Special Mention:

Rtr. Henal Shah

Spin-a-tale saw many interesting entries. While many chose to have explicit scenes between a lovable donut-gobbling cartoon and a certain president who was recently in the city, few took an even crazier spin to their tale. Moans, inexplicable desires and other **very graphic**scenes ruled the roost! Participants were at their wild best, to say the least! =P

Winning Entry of SPIN-A-TALE

Aanchal and Gunjana bagged the first place. Confused, crazy mess yet weirdly hilarious! Congrats, guys! As for the others, read on! =P

The Curious Case of Dolly Bindra... (Kaat ke rakh doongi)!

“Haii meri kamar”, said Homer Simpson just after he made sweet love to Siddharth Sahu. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and the harsh, brittle voice of Dolly Bindra pierced the ears of the two lovers,”Kaat ke rakh doongi”. Homer was too livid. He ran and jumped out of the window fearing for dear life. On the road, scared and embarassed, he covered his manhood with a stale apple.

Meanwhile, Dolly broke open Sahu’s door with her huge bosom, which read, “5 of hearts- pyaar karne waale”. Sahu was obviosuly SHAKEN and scared. He asked the great Bindra why she was such a cannibal! Dolly screamed as loud as Obama, when he fainted after eating “Maa ki… … … DAL” for dinner. Dolly yelled, “This is my Escort agency. I will eat whoever I want to. Suddenly, Sneddan appeared with an umbrella in his hand and a graduation cap on his head and said, “Dear, this is not from the House of God. This is not how a Gentleman should behave.” Dolly Bindra pushed him on the bed! Sahu thought this was it. His dreams were coming true!

Sahu asked Dolly, “Why do you want to kill and cut your own gigolo? When did he go DOWN on your dad?” (You know what I mean ;) ) Dolly yelled back, “Usne toh chillaya FATHER FATHER karne ke time”. CASE CLOSED.

Moral of the Story: CUM to Daddy. Daddy knows best! ;) =P

RCJC proved its might yet again at the district level, by sending the largest contingent. Participants at RYLA were put into various countries. They then competed against each other. They overcame their fears when they performed brilliantly at adventure sports like valley crossing, flying fox, jumaring and rappeling. Particpants put therir analytical ability to the test at games like Minefield and A Frame. Games like Australian Walk and Acid River brought out the spirit of team-bonding within them. They got out their artistic genius when they designed clothes for the fashion show. Finally, at the end of each day, they went crazy on the dance floor. Sheela got everybody grooving to her jawaani. While overall the club was bestowed with several awards; on the dance floor, too, RCJC bagged top honours. In a nutshell, Int’l RYLA was another feather in our cap! P.S – RYLA also witnessed one of RCJC’s best “Mafias” so far! Watsay, people? ;)
