Lead the Way >>>

If you don’t think big the big won’t think of you...

As rightly said - “Leaders are made, not born” and made more by themselves than by any external means. The truth is that most people have the potential to become effective leaders; however, the only issue is leadership takes time to develop.

I am no Born Leader, but having got an opportunity to lead a Group of 69 people – each being Leader in his own Profession or Vocation, it gives me confidence to lead the club.

When I was asked to be the President a couple of years back, I was fortunate to have Siddha sitting beside me who readily agreed to be the Secretary and here we are to LEAD THE WAY. We set about thinking how to do different things, rather how we can do the same differently. The first glimpse being the Installation ceremony organized with the wholehearted support of all the members and their families. We were blessed by the gracious presence of Shri Nana Patekar as Chief Guest who also consented to be the Honorary Member of our club, The New look Directory, Personalized Calendar for each Member, Theme Song for the Club and the making of Promo videos ably sums up that planning and hard work is always appreciated.

July was satisfying and a good beginning, besides our regular events, we got an opportunity to showcase our theme song and promo videos for the District Governor’s installation at Dharwad. The district audience, PDGs, invitees were mesmerized at the well conveyed message and we received lot of admiration for the wonderful Public Relation work. There were request for the song and videos from many, including from Past RI President Rtn. Kalyan Banerjee to showcase it at the national and international level.

Involvement of Rotarians and our families would be the key to our success during the course of the year. Celebration of a Happy Occasion with the Under-privileged, Special children, Orphanage and Old age home by our members is one such initiative, and we are happy with the good response from our members. We have been able to infuse greater enthusiasm

JULY 2014

into our Interact Club and we are planning many events for the Interactors with the help of our Co-coordinator Ann Sangita Sriram.

We plan to have family meetings every month at different locations, This month on 17th August we would be visiting Ganapati Shala to witness the making of the idol and also a visit to Sesa Football Academy and Butterfly garden at a reclaimed Mine site, Sankhali. Our Effort would be to follow the calendar we have worked out in detail and presented to all members to sync with your plans.

During the last 16 years, our club has been doing yeomen service to the community. Collectively, we can serve the community much better than individually and spread our message “Rotary club of Panaji Mid-Town – Spreading smiles all around” Rotary is changing, the emphasis is on long-term measurable and sustainable projects, our intent is not to do too many projects for the sake of it, but do projects that are sustainable and create an impact on the community. Our disability corrective surgery is one such project that has given us immense satisfaction seeing the children treated by us, pursue their studies and some even gainfully employed, Our Educational Grants Program has transformed lives by employment of youth from economically backward community including professions such as Doctors and Engineers. We are working toward setting up of Home care nursing school with a Global Grant from Rotary International under Economic and Community Development one of the six focus areas of Rotary.

We summed up July with an overseas Trip, Our first BOD of the year with participation of 27 Rotarians, setting up the mood for the rest of the year to “LIGHT UP ROTARY”

Rtn. Milind Shankhwalkar Club President

<<< A Time for Action August - Membership Development & Retention Month TOP REASONS WHY

MEMBERS LEAVE ROTARY Whether it is a high profile company, an established conglomerate or a local club, everybody has a hard time keeping their best and brightest to stay. We often have those amazing members who volunteer a majority of their time towards club activities and have invested a lot of their time and energy towards the success of the club. These members join various committees, become executives and handle anything from menial to the most complex tasks. As a result, they become important to the club and to the members. Sometimes, a simple acknowledgement isn't enough and it becomes difficult to retain members.

However, in order to retain members, we have to understand why members choose to leave in the first place.

Lack of Open-Mindedness: Everyone wants to be heard and have their ideas acknowledged. When members begin to feel that the decision makers of the club often waive their ideas aside in order to follow through with an already set strategy, they begin to feel undervalued.

As such, they slowly begin to lose interest in the club and its activities. As a solution, always try and incorporate the best parts of their suggestions. New suggestions can only improve your current strategy and help you achieve your goals.

Vision/Mission: Look at your club's current mission statement. What is your club's vision for the future? Is it exciting?

Is it sometimes your members proud to share? Do all members even know what it is? A mission statement really defines what your club is about and your vision defines the future of your club. Who came up with the mission statement and the vision? Chances are, when your club members choose what it is, they want to achieve as a club, they'll work towards making it a success because they all

believe in it.

Exciting Tasks & Projects: When we look at the business world, there are hardly any companies that have people follow up with employees asking if they are enjoying their current project or whether they are interested in another project or task. Essentially, these are 'nice-to-have' conversations but hardly ever take place, once a year at best during performance reviews. Similarly, this is something that should be implemented by clubs. A simple question like this can make members feel very appreciated and looked after.

Everybody is driven by the opportunity to excel and participate in something big, which will make an impact on their company, life or even club. Why not implement an annual 'check-in' for members to see how their membership is going and what can be done to improve their experience?

Team Dynamic: Does everyone in your club get along with one another? How s your team dynamic? When everyone gets along and are on friendly terms with one another, you can be sure that they look forward to club meetings and events because they enjoy each other's company. If there is a bad seed that causes friction with more than one member, deal with them! You may think that they do so much for the club and you would hate to lose them, but think about how many members you turn off by letting them get away with bad behaviour. Ensure your team dynamic is strong. To do so, plan events that revolve around building your team dynamic and find ways to allow

members other than the usual leaders play a role. After all, a strong team ensures success!

Trust & Shifting Priorities: When members promise to fulfil a goal or have a task completed, trust that they will deliver on their promise. You've got to give them enough time to complete the task at hand, instead of reassigning it to someone else. For example, if you've issued a challenge to a group of members to raise fund and collect a certain amount of money by a certain date, believe they will do so. If you see that they won't reach their goal by the set date, offer them advice and help rather than enlisting another group to complete the task. If members feel like their club supports their initiatives, they'll attempt to do more for the club, and otherwise, the impression that is left on them is that the club isn't interested in their efforts at all.

Authority: Although you cannot exactly 'tell' your club members what to do and how to participate, the board can still outline club expectations from all members. Anyone who is part of an organization, knows there are guidelines to follow and will appreciate suggestions and observations made on becoming active members.

Everyone wants to feel valued. When people join clubs or an organization, they do so to be part of something and contribute towards something. When they feel that their participation or efforts are not acknowledged, they begin to feel as though the organization they want to be part of doesn't appreciate them. As a result, they feel that leaving the club would be a better option.

Follow Your Rotary Dream >>> Warm Greetings.

The installation ceremony of Rtn. Milind Sankhwalkar and his team for the year 2014-15 was a trend setter for more reasons that one. "Lai Bhari" would be apt for and thinking out of the box. Compering by annettes in sync with the power point of Bollywood extravaganza.

Presentation of team with little annettes leading them to the stage (football culture) was refreshing. Speeches were crisp and short & more importantly there was warmth in the reception accorded to guests & visitors reflecting the true Rotary fellowship traditions.

Further you showed that Rotary can mould its members to become directors, producers and actors with the production of the two short stories of service caught on camera by your own Rotarian.

All in all a good beginning for an enthusiastic year of continued Rotary service benefiting the community.

All the Best.

JULY 2014

<<< Create Awareness Take Action Rotary Theme 2014-15 RI President Gary C.K. Huang chose Light Up Rotary as his theme for 2014-15. Huang was inspired by the teachings of Chinese philosopher Confucius who said : “It is better to light a single candle, than to sit and curse the darkness.” He called Confucius as the world's first Rotarian because even though he died 2,500 years before Rotary was founded, his ideas were very much Rotary ideas: values of service and responsibility, of respect for family and to others.

Huang said, “I think that one line sums up the way we in Rotary approach the problems of the world. There is so much difficulty. There are so many people who need help. Many people look at this and say, 'There is nothing I can do'. So they do nothing – and nothing changes. But this is not the Rotary way. The Rotary way is to light a candle. I light one candle, you light one candle – and so do 1.2 million other Rotarians. Together we can do so much more than we could ever do alone. Together, we can light up the world.

In 2014-15, I am asking each one of you to light your own Rotary candle – and Light Up Rotary together. There are many ways to

Light Up Rotary. I hope many of you will choose to host a Rotary Day, to show your community what Rotary is and what we can do.

I hope you will involve your Rotaract and Interact clubs in your service, to bring the new generation of the Rotary family closer to Rotary membership.

And I hope you will keep Rotary strong by inviting new members into Rotary including your own spouse and family.

Perhaps the most important thing we can do to Light Up Rotary is to finish the job we've been working on for more than a quarter of a century: the eradication of polio. We are so close to our goal, but we will get there only if we keep up the fight, keep up the momentum, and close the funding gap for the polio end game plan.

Light Up Rotary is our theme for this year but it is more than just a theme. It is how we in Rotary see the world and our role in it. We believe that no one should sit alone in the darkness. Instead, we can come together, all 1.2 million of us, to Light Up Rotary. This is our goal and my challenge to you.”

JULY 2014

<<< Rotary Brings Hope

CHANGING LIVES Rotary Club of Panaji Mid-Town has always been promoting education especially among the students from the economically challenged background.

Initially it started in the year 2000 with adoption of 4 children from slum areas and providing them with uniforms, books, shoes, nutrition allowance. Gradually the number increased with adoption of village children from Union High School, Chimbel, Ideal High School, Taleigao and Dayanand Arya High School, Neura. Annually around 300-350 students from primary, middle school and high school benefitted. Simultaneously, benches, computers, water filters, .laboratory and library facilities were provided to these schools.

Gradually the scope of funding was raised for the higher and professional education. The club adopted students pursuing engineering, medicine, BBA and BCA courses. The fees and provision of books and conveyance allowance was provided to 8 engineering and 6 medical students. These were the meritorious students who could not afford higher education due to financial crunch.

One such student was Sandeep Raja. His father worked in a restaurant and has 2 more siblings. We adopted this boy. He was very hard working and studious and passed all his semesters with first class and distinction. Our educational Grants committee used to keep a close watch on these students. After finishing his graduation, he wanted to do his masters from Edinburgh, Scotland. He was given guidance to avail of the loans from the bank and proceeded to UK. He finished his Masters and got a job in a MNC and presently is occupying a very high post. He supported his younger siblings for higher education and bought a flat for his family in India.

At the installation ceremony of our club on 1st July 2014, Sandeep's father presented a cheque sent by Sandeep of Rs 100,000 to Rotary Club of Panaji MidTown Charitable trust to support the education of needy students like him.

This is a great success story of our club wherein we have brought smiles to a family and helping them to rise in the society and lead a respectable and humble life.

<<< Serve to Unite Mankind “Service is the rent we pay to be living. It is the very purpose of life and not something you do in your spare time.”

Club Secretary Rtn. Siddha Sardessai audits the rent we have been paying in the month of July 2014.

Ist July saw the grand Installation Ceremony held at Taleigao Community Centre. This Event showcased a host of Public Relations measures that the Club has initiated. But what captivated all was the participation of the family of Rotary in the various facets of the organization. In all 43 members of the Rotary family engaged themselves in the event proceedings.

Kamat, Ashok Menon, Vinaykumar Pai Raikar and Siddha Sardessai participated in the singing whereas Vidisha Patil, Nimisha Patil, Niketa Lawande and Trisha Shankhwalker put up a dance sequel to the welcome song.

It was on 30 July 2010, at Amari Atrium in Bangkok during the fellowship post first overseas BoD meeting of “My Year Gaurish” that Milind offered to take over as the President for 2014-15. I was seated next to him and I offered to take up position as Secretary.

A project gallery at the entrance of the venue displayed the works of the Club through the last 16 years. The venue was setup a la RCPMT style. A huge 15 ft x 10 ft LED wall as the backdrop to the stage left its impact. Theme boxes on each table, Wall of Flags, and the hanging flags added those little details to bring out the ambience of a Classy Rotary gathering.

On 23 February 2012, Milind and I had our first “official” meeting in Goenchin to discuss the focus areas and what we should strive for during “our year”.

“Togetherness” was to be the focus and it's a very important ingredient to Rotary life.

Our first interaction with the DG was on 23 June 2013 at Rotary Milan, followed by pre-Pets & Sets “Samskara”. “Diksuchi” (Pets Sets) at Mahabaleshwar and “Deepan” (District Assembly) at Belgaum gave us a lot of learning. Finally, the stage was set to take over as Secretary of the prestigious Rotary Club of Panaji Mid-Town.

Time for all back stage work to be showcased on stage.

Shri Nana Patekar was invited to be the Chief Guest for the evening. He was also conferred as the Honorary Member and now being a Rotarian himself, the Board had the privilege of getting themselves pinned by the superstar of Indian cinema.

Speaking as the Chief Guest, Shri Nana Patekar enlightened the gathering on the true values one needs to follow. He emphasized that giving back to Society is as much a part of living for oneself.

Shri Srinivas Dempo was re-conferred the Honorary Membership. And Kedar Kenkre was inducted in the Club under the classification- Chartered Accountant Corporate Audit.

The event began with the family of RCPMT singing the “swagatham”- a welcome song. Annets - Rhea Mallya, Vansika Shah, Rakshanda Khaunte, Ved Sardesai, Krish Verlekar, Yashodhan Dhume; AnnsRanjana Ashok, Swati Shetye, Minal Kamat, Swati Shirodkar & Rotarians Manohar

The presentation of the Board was made in truly filmy style with each board adorning a Bollywood character on screen. This created a lot of enthusiasm in the crowd.

JULY 2014 THE

dream |09|

Serve to Unite Mankind >>> INSTALLATION Rtn Milind informed the gathering about the new initiatives the Club intends to take in accordance with the RI theme "Light up Rotary". He also threw light on the success stories of the Club and reiterated his endeavor to work selflessly for the community.

Earlier outgoing President Rtn Bhupesh Shah acknowledged the donors and thanked everyone for the support during his tenure while outgoing Secretary Rtn Sunil Mone presented the report of activities undertaken during 2013-14.

The show was anchored by Mohit Caculo and Urvi Shankhwalker in an impeccable style. Another seven of our Annets – Vedant Dhume, Aishwarya Menon, Neel Lawande, Anshula Menon, Shamik Caculo, Mayura Ashok and Nrutika Shah were a part of the compere team and introduction of the board was handled by them. Escorting each board member to the dais were our little annets – Siddhi Desai, Ananya Verlekar and Samah Sardessai whereas Annets – Vansika Shah, Khushi Palan, Simran Nadkarni and Niketa Lawande helped with the trays. Annets – Anushka Adwalpalkar, Mihika Mehta, Tanish Sawkar and Rahul Chandrashekar manned our Reception counters. And help for the coordination came in from Swati Shetye, Ranjana Ashok, Supriya Shankhwalker and Sweta Sardessai. Wow!!! That's an exhaustive list of participants indeed.

The flowers that were given to the guests on dais and to visiting dignitaries were specially made by the children of Disha Special School. Our little way of helping one of our supported schools.

Membership Directory was released at the hands of AG Rtn Rajesh Salgaonkar. The new format of the Directory has inclusion of family photo of each member. Mobile app “Roster-On-Wheels” was also launched on this day. This app has a lot of applications and will be extremely useful and handy to every member.

Rtn Manoj Caculo gave the Vote of Thanks. Acclaimed as the best Installation ceremony in Rotary circles and addressed as Grammy Awards by some, I would want to thank all of those who came in for rehearsals for almost 2 weeks. Your immense support and encouragement is heartening. Thanks also to those helping hands and vendors who helped us put up this show.

<<< Serve to Unite Mankind 01 July 2014 - Handover of Computers to Disha Special School.

At the start of the new Rotary year, we took our first steps in community service by handing over computers to the Disha Special School. Thanks to IPP Rtn Bhupesh Shah for his kind gesture in arranging this project.

05 July 2014 – Tree Plantation

15 July 2014 – Happy Occasion

10 of our youngest annets planted saplings along the Merces road as a part of our Tree Plantation drive. The tree guard carried the name of the Annet and read as “This tree planted by (Annet name)”. This gesture is bound to bring in a sense of belonging to the environment for our future generation.

Arushi Kenkre, Sayee and Siddhi Desai, Vaishnavi Dempo, Samah Sardessai, Roma Kapadia, Jia Chandan, Kaya and Manas Kholkar, Ananya and Krish Verlekar participated in the Project. We also felicitated Rtn Andrew D'Souza at the hands of Rtn Manoj Caculo for his support in this drive for all these years.

with the less fortunate When one experiences the joy of giving, he will come forward with newer ideas. This has been the underlying thought of this project. “Happy Occasion with the less fortunate” project aims at enriching oneself with the joy of giving. We requested members to celebrate at least one of their happy occasions in family like birthdays and anniversary with schools around Panaji. And we have received a very good response. The first of this project was celebrating Ann Anitha Menon's birthday at the National Association for the blind at Santacruz. Anitha hosted lunch to the blind students and derived happiness seeing the children relish on the lunch and sing to her the birthday song. She said later that “this has been a very different and a really very satisfying birthday”

04 July 2014 – Handover of Cloth material for Night gowns for inmates of Matruchaya We handed over 60 mts of cloth material to Sandeep Naik for the purpose of night gowns for the inmates of Matruchaya. This material will be given to Self help group working with Matruchaya for stitching the same and will benefit the self help group also with the workload offered. This project was co-ordinated by Rtn Santosh Shetye.

15 July 2014 – Installation of Interact Club

23 – 28 July 2014 – First BoD Meeting (Overseas) The Installation Ceremony of the INTERACT CLUB of the “Our Lady of The Rosary High School” at Dona Paula was held on 15th July 2014 at School Premises.

Miss Sian Rodrigues was inducted as the President, Veda Desai as the Secretary and Resha Banaulikar as the Treasurer. Along with 48 other members, this Interact Club is all geared up to take up the social responsibilities along the ideals of Rotary. Ann Sangeeta Sriram has kindly consented to be the co-ordinator for the Interact Club.

The Board and other members of the Club set off to Bangkok and Pattaya for the First Board of Directors Meeting. An overwhelming response to this trip saw 27 members of the Club join together for a wonderful trip that brought everyone closer to each other.

PROMO VIDEOS We also launched 3 promo videos based on our Club Projects:

The first promo is on the community service projects. A story about an elderly mother estranged by her own son. She recalls her moments with her son when he was a young boy and looks at how he changed over the years. Rotary supported old age home welcomes her and brings back a smile on her face.

The second promo is on our education grants project. A girl student who is excellent in her studies and scores high marks in her exams feels the brunt of education when she realizes that the fees for higher education are beyond their means. Once again, with help from Rotary, she graduates with a degree in hand.

The third promo is on our disability corrective surgery project. A polio disabled child is depressed seeing his friends play football while he is left to himself. And with Rotary's intervention, after undergoing corrective surgery, he goes on to play his heart out and achieves his goal.

I would like to thank our main cast, Anagha Deshpande for her role in the promo on community service, Prerna Palekar for the promo on education grants project and Saish Mahale for the promo on disability corrective surgery. Thanks also to Tushar Kamat for arranging music and recording voices of Dr Vinaykumar Pai Raikar and myself for this video, and to Manu Anand for his voice over.

Special thanks to Madhavi Bhobe for her lyrics and for being my assistant director. And to Sweta who's been the most able hand in arranging everything behind the scenes. And all this would not have been possible without the support of Milind and all the side-cast & crew and those helping hands who tirelessly worked with us to bring to life a crazy little thought that sprang in my head while driving.

To Dignify the Human Being >>>

PODER GOAN BAKER There are many age old occupations in Goa namely, toddy tapper (render), coconut plucker (paadeli), street cobbler, cane chair weaver, chari (blacksmith), shimpi (tailor) , farmer, raandpi (cook), umbrella repairer and so on. One of the significant occupation is that of Goan Baker or commonly called as Poder , coined after the Portuguese word Padeiro.

There is a saying in Goa which says : â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paakhle gele aani unde geleâ&#x20AC;?. This in literal sense means that after the Portuguese (Paakhle) left Goa, even the quality of bread (unde) has deteriorated. The Portuguese brought to Goa various plants and fruits like jackfruit, guavas, chillies, mangoes, coffee and so on. They also gave the art of making the traditional Goan bread.

This Goan bread is in the form of square bread (paav) coming in loaves or the in individual variety. These may be shaped round with small cut at the centre or like a figure of eight. The bread made from the whole wheat was called as polee and is very popular amongst the diabetic patients.

There is a huge oven (called as khorn in Konkani) with the base hollow wherein the wood preferably from tamarind or borum (zizyphus zuzuba) which gives more heat and burns over a long time. The dough is made from the wheat flour (maida) and in the past the poders used to use toddy for fermentation in place of yeast. After the initial process, the dough was shaped in various sizes depending on the demand in the community.

The bread used to be put in the oven for baking. Some of the unde were overdone to make them crispy.

|14| THE dream

JULY 2014

In the evening and morning the poder or his helper would visit the homes of the natives with a large weaver basket on a cycle blowing horns announcing his arrival. People would either buy the bread personally or hang a cloth bag outside the door with a note denoting the number of bread required. Mostly the money used to be paid monthly.

Now most of these original bakers have either closed down their bakeries due to reasons like inadequate supply of wood, no helping hands as the children have migrated to Gulf or UK, or more and more use of sliced bread etc.

Any one who has eaten a Goan UNDO will never forget its taste specially with bhaaji or xacuti.

<<< Service above Self Interview with

PRABHAKAR SINARI What prompted you to get into this profession?

First Goan Inspector General of Police to head the Goa police, Mr. Prabhakar Sinari, a veteran freedom fighter and promoter of athletics and other sports in Goa. The man who inspires awe and respect is a very soft spoken and kindhearted person. Here are glimpses of the interview with the editor: What was the scenario when you decided to get into this profession?

Mr. Sinari: Well, as you are aware I joined the freedom struggle immediately after Shri Ram Manohar Lohiya was arrested on 18th June when I was just 14 yrs of age. In due course of time, I got trained in the guerrilla warfare, producing bombs and using various weapons. I did not fear death and wanted to fight for the liberty of my motherland. The Portuguese had imposed a lot of curbs of the activities of the Goans. We used to attack the police outposts and steal the weapons. I have been wounded with bullet injuries (shows the bullet injuries on his legs). I was arrested and put in jail. My two brothers who were not active in the freedom struggle were also arrested and jailed for 2 years. Our whole family was harassed. I was jailed for almost 4 years.

The Portuguese had planned to send me to Africa. However, I managed to escape from the prison. The hardships faced during the freedom struggle were plenty.

We used to hide in jungles with scarce food at times. Staying underground after escaping was not easy either. In the prison we were beaten very severely.

Mr. Sinari: After Goa was liberated on 19th December 1961, we all enjoyed the freedom. But, I had to take decision about a job in order to do some earning to support my family. It so happened that in 1962, Indo-China war started.

They were recruiting soldiers in the army. I appeared for the exam and was selected. I was also selected in the police department as Dy. Superintendent of Police. My mother wanted me to stay in Goa as I was away from home for 15 years during the freedom struggle.

Any hardships that you faced?

Mr. Sinari: After my selection in Police dept. I was placed in charge of sports without any policing powers. I got actively involved and started to promote, football, hockey, athletics and swimming. I started the Goa Athletic Federation. Subsequently, I was absorbed in the police service after the department was redesigned and worked till I rose to head the department. The funny part is that during the Portuguese regime, my photo used to be put across police stations as Wanted criminal and later on my name figured as the Chief of Goa Police.

Why did you remain confined to Panaji and not move out to greener pastures?

Mr. Sinari: I did leave Goa on postings to North East, Pondicherry and Andaman and Nicobar Islands, but I never left India and this was because of my love for my motherland. I had lucrative offers in Brazil, but declined.

Army all the details about the Portuguese troupes and their methods of operations so as to facilitate an easy victory.

Any regrets looking back?

Mr. Sinari: Well, there are. We had hoped to have a beautiful Goa with everybody living in harmony. To tell you frankly, during Portuguese regime, but for the atrocities of the military, the living was peaceful. There was law and order, no robberies, cheating and so on. The Goa that we dreamt was never realized. Today, majority of the Goans have opted for Portuguese passport and have migrated for better prospects. Probably, if they were given opportunities in Goa, they would have stayed back. The industrialisation of Goa was not properly planned and Goans were given nuts and bolts jobs. Even those who had higher education are still not having job opportunities in Goa and hence are migrating abroad or to rest of India.

Message to youth of today?

Mr. Sinari: Be sincere in your work. I would like younger generation to participate in sports on a larger scale as that will keep you physically and mentally healthy. This results in better development and makes more creative minds. Nowadays, schools concentrate on marks. Except a few schools, majority of schools do not have playgrounds. My request for the next generation is to make Goa corruption-free, garbage-free and clean and beautiful. Though it is a tiny state, try to retain its identity and be proud to be a Goan.

What do you think is your biggest achievement?

Mr. Sinari: The biggest day came when Goa got liberated. In fact, we gave the Indian JULY 2014 THE

The

dream

by Supriya Shankhwalker Alu Wadi Ingredients: 6 Alu/Colacasia/tora leaves (available in rainy season), 1 wati besan, Ÿ th wati rice flour, 1 wati coconut, 1 tbsp jeera, 5-6 pepper corns,2 tbsp mirchi powder, ½ tsp haldi powder, Small lime sized tamarind ball, little jaggery & hing powder.

Ingredients: 1 wati Karela cut finely lenghtwise, 4 green chillies, 10 cashew nuts, ½ wati coconut,4-5 pepper corns, A little tamarind and jaggery -double the size of tamarind, Salt to taste, Tampering of mustard seeds and asefotadia ( hing ) Method: First dry roast the cut karela with very little oil on a tava on a low flame till it is nice and brown. Then add the scrapped coconut, pepper corns, green chillies and the cashewnuts and fry for some more time.

Grind the above in a mixie alongwith tamarind, salt and jaggery. Ground consisitency should be that of chutney (neither thick nor watery) Heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds and let it splutter, then a little asefotadia. Give this tampering to the ground karela chutney which is ready to serve.

Tip: Karela should be fried patiently on a low flame whilst other jobs can be done simultaneously. If burnt, the dish will taste bitter. If desired instead of grinding all the fried karelas some can be finely chopped and kept aside for garnishing.

|16| THE dream

JULY 2014

Method: Grind coarsely coconut, jeera, pepper & tamarind with little water. Add chilli & haldi powder to it. Mix the above mixture to the besan & rice flour. Then add salt to taste, jaggery, hing and form a homogenous mixture like chutney.

Cut the stems and wash the leaves thoroughly and dry them.

On a platform, arrange one leaf overlapping the end of the other (veins of leaves downwards) and apply the besan mixture to the leaves. Then keep one more leaf on top of it and another overlapping the end and reapply the mixture untill all the leaves and the mixture are over.

Roll the leaves (the swiss roll way) and cook in an idli steamer for 30 minutes. Once cooled , cut slices, roll in rawa & shallow fry with little coconut oil till nice & brown.

Tip: Tamarind cuts the itchness of the leaves which is temporary in nature. One should relishthe dish for its nutrient contents. This dish is generally made only during the monsoons when the leaves grow wildly and are fresh & green. They can also be easily grown in the home garden.

Dear friends, As I present this first issue of The Dream for the year 2014-15 before you, I wish to tell that this year the editorial board has decided to bring a new look bulletin as the change is the main word in Rotary which helps it to grow and improve. As you have noticed, the installation ceremony this year was marked with a difference with the release of theme song and three videos based on our pet projects. Keeping pace with this we have changed the design of this new look bulletin.

We have named each and every leaf in the magazine with the Rotary themes of the past which we thought was apt for that particular leaf. Besides the president's vision and secretary's report, we have planned to include articles on our beneficiaries, leading personalities of our community who have offered exemplary service, projects of other clubs, brain teasers, Anns' articles about delicious Goan recipes, Rotary information around the globe, looking back at our club projects and so on. None of the article are from the internet but are contributions of the members.

The purpose of this exercise is to involve more member participation in the club, improve club's and Rotary's image in the community. Tying up with other clubs giving publicity to their projects will go a long way in improving inter club relations.

Hope you appreciate our endeavour and give your frank opinions which will help us improve the quality of the publications in future.

Performance inspired by Good Leadership The new Rotary year has started and new leaders have assumed office in various clubs across the globe. This change over happens probably only in Rotary wherein a very successful leader is made to step down in spite of performing wonderfully well in the preceding year.

The successful management of an organization can be measured by the people working for it and their level of

satisfaction and happiness. Much depends on a leader in an organization, who must rise above the limited views. He must carry in his mind the total vision, the complete panorama. If his idea of success is limited, then his success will also be limited.

Ultimately the vision of the totality that the leader carries, determines the growth, development and success of his club.

True knowledge gives us humility. Humility leads to greater ability which in turn leads to higher prosperity.

A true leader must instil the right moral values in his fellow members and teach them the right way to work. His action must be inspired as we understand that the joy lies in the very performance of the action. When the members are happy, they are more productive. If they are disgruntled their performance will fail. The higher or greater the level of inspiration, the more will be the output of the members. When people discover joy in the very execution of action, the quality of their performance changes.

With dedication the quality of performance undergoes a radical change. When actions are dedicated to a nobler and higher ideal, inspired thinking produces more refined performance.

Akbar was very pleased with Tansen's singing prowess and praised him greatly. Tansen humbly requested the emperor to listen to his guru, who he opined was a greater artist. Akbar was intrigued and after listening to Tansen's guru, wanted to know the difference in the quality of his singing. Tansen attributed the superiority to his guru's singing to the fact that his guru sang for the Lord, whereas he himself sang for the emperor.

The inspiration gained while working for the Higher Self is much greater. Inspired performance will yield superior result.

Knowledge leading to humility ensures success and power, which in turn leads to greater knowledge, more humility and even greater success and power.

Rotary's motto of Service Above Self exemplifies it all.
