Tarang: March- 2023

Tarang

2 Edition: 9

Rotary Theme of the Month

The Rotary theme for March is Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene. Clean water is a basic need for human beings. When people, especially children, have access to clean water, they live healthier and more productive lives. However, at least 3,000 children die each day from diseases caused by unsafe water, which motivates our members to build wells, install rainwater harvesting systems, and teach community members how to maintain new infrastructure.

While very few people die of thirst, millions die from preventable waterborne diseases, providing the impetus for our members also to improve sanitation facilities in undeveloped countries. Members start by providing toilets and latrines that flush into a sewer or safe enclosure and then add education programs to promote hand-washing and other good hygiene habits.

Here is a short quiz we made for all the IPL fans!

Don't Pop That Pimple!

As a part of World Rotaract Week, on 13th March, the Rotaract Club of Bangalore collaborated with the Rotaract Club of Pune Renaissance for a session on skincare named - ‘Don’t Pop that Pimple’.

Beauty of a Man

Rtr. Sanajan Tiwari wrote a lovely poem!

“So as we hear multiple stories of a woman's beauty contrasting with nature, wind, and snow. Now let’s take a deep breath and count on the beauty of a man.

I still had that obscure vision, surrounded by a concourse in a suffocating hospital room. A glowing pair of eyes were gazing at me. The serenity on his face made everything clear. Aren't those the best and the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen?

So yes on the first day in this world I found, a man's beauty lies in his eyes.

As I grew older. Should I say around 9?

I learned that every time it’s not some monkey who steals my chocolate. But the actual donkey who lives in my house.

And it so happened that I was always left with one or two. Sharing is caring he chuckled and smiled. So that day I found, a man's beauty lies in his impish smile.

the days have passed and years had gone by, and I walking on a road, with someone by my side. He clenched my hand and put me on the safer side of the road. He smiled at me and I observed him in pride. day I luckily found, A man's beauty lies in his unblemished concern.

Now I fast forward this journey to 50 years and so. My hands are shivering but are warmly caressed by a man sitting next to me. He gently whispered in my ears. "You go, honey, I will be there." I gazed at him and silently went to sleep.

So yes on my last day in this world, I found, a man's beauty definitely lies in his unbreakable commitments.

A man can be compared with mountains and rocks but I really want to compare them with deep oceans and misty fog. They can be compared with bridges and bow but I want to compare them with pillow and snow.

They can also be compared with iron and power but I really want to compare them with Flower and October's shower

Figma Courses

Rtr. Chaula Dixit went on a streak of completing Figmabased courses through Coursera! She says, “As a frontend developer, I was always intrigued with the design part of Applications. I started a Figma course to get hands-on experience in UX design. While going through this 3 part course, I realized the process to create just the Nav bar of an app is time-consuming and attention to detail is always a topmost priority.”

A Spectrum of Art!

Rtn. Rtr. Pragya Jain created art out of interesting materials!

She says, “I tried my hand at gold foil and texture art for the first time and loved the experience!”

Kochi Diaries

Rtn. Rtr. Pragya Jain visited Kochi for the first time! She says, “I visited Cochin for the Art Biennale in March. Besides the fabulous artworks, I loved the Jewish Synagogue in Jew Town, Fort Kochi, and the boat ride on the Arabian Sea too!”
