Rtn. K. C. VIJOBITUARY

Mr. K C Vijh, a member of our Club since 2002, was called to higher service on July 31, 2012. He died in Orange City hospital. A graduate of Indian School of Mines, he was a very successful professional and retired as Chairman cum Managing Director of Western Coalfields Limited. Known as a quiet man of our club, he could always be relied upon to attend the meetings from the front rows despite his ill health. He was an active participant always ready to interact with the speakers during the weekly rotary meetings. His quiet manners and sense of humor will be missed by all who knew him.Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Mrs Sushma Vijh, daughters Dr Natasha and Nidhi, sons-in-law Vivek and Ankur and grandchildren Tanya and Pranshu.

-Ashok Mrig

Mr. K.C Vijh, 70, former CMD WCL ended his life's journey on July 31st 2012. His final days were spent surrounded by family and friends whose lives he had touched in his small ways throughout his very memorable life. He was a man of great determination and will power. He fought bravely through his illness and lived life to its full. He was diagnosed with cancer in 1994 and left no stone unturned to recover. He conquered that and lived a perfectly healthy and normal life for 16 years.Unfortunately this was not the end and we were very grieved to find out that cancer had reappeared. Only because of his positive attitude towards life, even after four major surgeries he was willing and open for any line of treatment or surgery. Until his very last days, with so much of suffering and pain, we all still wished for a miracle and kept asking the doctor, "There has to be someway to fight this disease." Such was his gist and love for life-a fighter till the end.He was very fond of ghazals, books and golf. Although he took golf very late in life, many trophies adorn our house. One of his favourite ghazals by Mallika Pukhraj "abhi to mein jawaan hoon, hai maut itne kareeb, nahin nahin abhi nahin, abhi nahin abhi nahin" was so fondly sung by him. He had a heart of gold. We can still feel his presence around us. He was loved by all and is missed greatly by his near and dear. wish you could see many milestones of your grandchildren's lives and bless them, you will always remain in our hearts...we all miss you... Sushma, Natasha, Nidhi, Vivek, Ankur, Tanya, Pranshu. -Natasha Marwah, Daughter

CONDOLENCE MEETINGnd Thursday, the 2 of August was a Condolence Meeting owing to the sad demise of Rtn K.C.Vij. The atmosphere was sombre

while our members paid tribute to Late K.C.Vij. He was remembered with great fondness and everyone had something new to add, reflecting on his persona. A professional of repute, he had reached the very top in his vocation. His zest for life was evident till

the very end. A sportsman in true spirit, he did not believe in giving up and fought to the very end. His sad demise is an irreplaceable loss to the Rotary Club of Nagpur. May his soul rest in peace.

COVER up....

Dear Rotary Families, committees have picked up their pace to deliver Life Skills & Soft Skills workshops. The Slum August takes me back to my school days. The upliftment committee & Matching Grants rains, lush green surroundings, month long committee are gearing up for something big.festivities, hot bhutta's n pakora's…. something

very carefree about this month just like school What is heartening to see is the involvement of days. I loved all this then and even today! a whole lot of “recent” Rotarians joining the old

war horses, bringing in new ideas & energies to Talking of festivity, our Senior Citizen our programs and projects thereby throwing up Committee & Interactors from our 5 Interact new leaders for tomorrow, much as our U-19 schools put a wonderful Janmashtami World Cup wining team has done it! This is a NMC, Police department assisting to make this Fellowship Program for Senior citizens of good sign for our Membership Development a Mega Rotary Program! Mariam Nagar & Panchavati Vrudhashram. The and Retention program which RI has been fellowship committee followed it up with Kudos to all and especially the Programs emphasizing upon, especially in this Month of Navroze & Eid celebrations for our members, Committee which has pulled out yet another Membership Development and Extension.with a very unusual spread of eatables and “gem”, yes friends, Shri Rahul Bajaj will be

games! As we all gear up to welcome “Ganpati Bappa” I addressing our Club followed by an Interactive feel happy to inform you that the Niramalya session, this month….so be there!!Amidst all this festivity & fun our Rotary families Collection Project of our Club, which started continue with their resolve to serve the society. Cheers!some 7 years back as a “project” has now A Deafness Corrective Diagnostic camp was become a “movement” which this year our DG followed with Surgical camp where 25 patients Sanjay is taking it up as a District Project, with in and around Ramtek town benefited. The all sisters clubs of Nagpur joining hands and Interact, Rotaract and Youth Service

MADNESS!!!!!Life is so boring! It has a set pattern. Regulated work, dedicated family, a bit of good work, planned holiday breaks and a routine social life. Life is so predictable. Mornings begin with duties and evenings end up with fun.What we need is a BIT of madness. Madness in our profession, madness in our family and madness in everything that we do and in all

that we don't. In fact we could do with a LOT of madness.Madness in our workplace! Like starting on something new, not because it promises to be a profitable venture, but because it is cool. May be temporarily change the work profile of all the people working with you. Maybe ask half your staff to take a week off, just to see how things work. Pass off your lunch to someone else and eat out of his tiffin. Excitement will creep into the system.Madness in our family! Gift your son a super low cut jeans or support the idea that he wears his hair long and ties a pony tail. Gift your mother-in-law an expensive diamond set. Push your better half to go out for an all night party…….Madness in all our actions! A novel holiday like a week in Patna. Go to a party where you are invited at eight, sharply at eight. Wear red pants, leather ones if possible. Streak your hair. Do something that add a bit into your life and as a result into other people's.Bring some madness in the good work that we do! No time tables, no budgets and no convenience. Give a couple of months doing what touches us most. Spend time, money and effort without any reservations or qualifications. Do not stop at making people happy. See that they go crazy…..It's time to live our lives Kingsize!!! Madness may be the way to do it!!

There will be a best letter prize every month. So keep writing.

Also mail your photograph along with your letter.Excellent design & new look of GO!! Under your leadership GO is achieving great heights! Keep it up!! -Akash Agrawal

Dear Shabbir,Since I joined Rotary in 2005 I have been in thick and thin of things and have actively contributed to almost every committee in all the avenues but never ever dared to write anything for The Golden Orange…but your latest issue rather the new avatar compelled me to pen down my a p p r e c i a t i o n f o r t h e s t u p e n d o u s innovation..Hats off!There is a big similarity between the Olympics and our GO. While watching the recently concluded Olympics there have been many instances when the records were broken, which all of us thought to be impossible. Same goes with the GO which keeps on breaking its own record every year. With this latest issue you have delivered a perfect Nadia Komonich performance which I am sure will be very difficult to better in future.

-Dinesh Naidu

Cheers to the the new look of GO!The new( the word does have power Atul!) GO was a Royal purple satin work in my hand, smooth & silky- My fingers flip rather slip and unravel many enticing features like the guest editor column with its flashy spread outs, Dimag Kharab take on political big wigs and Kidszzzone. The Indian Vice President is retained so is our editor. Congrats Shabbir!! But believe me, between your 1st article in last year's GO and this year's 1st you have travelled millions of mellowed thoughts. All about anger, but with a very 'detached' outlook. A wonderful analysis! We may have one workshop on Anger management and I believe you can kick start it very well. Waiting for more interesting features. Maybe some youth columns voiced by our own youths or some more new faces on board. I know it is easy to suggest and easier to execute( joking). Best wishes to the GO team!

-Beena Mathew

Dear GO Editor ShabbirCongra tu la t ions fo r the improved graphic, layout and contents of our club bulletin GO. I am sure members and readers will also appreciate your efforts. Keep going!

-Bobby

Hi Shabbir! I am very happy to read your editorial column. Such beautiful thoughts and very few people understand life so beautifully. I have always noticed and experienced such people and situations and am glad you put it forth so effectively. I am sure you are going to start Satyamev Jayate through your writing. All the very best and looking forward to such soul stirring subjects

Dr Ajay Sood handing over a cheque of Rs 1,90,000 to President Atul Shah on behalf of the Haldiram Bhujiawala family. This amount has been donated by the

Haldiram Bhujiawala family towards purchase of a Microscope for Eye Surgeries.

ENORMOUS RAKHI SALEThe enthusiastic Interactors of Centre Point School, Katol Road, sold the rakhis made by Sandhya Sanwardhan Sanstha and Shraddanand Anathalay. The rakhis made by the mentally challenged children were sold like hot cakes. The total amount summed upto Rs. 10250. This money was then sent to the respective Sansthas.Thus it was a thunderous start for the Interactors who were guided by the teacher In-charge Shuba Sarma Ma'am.

It has alwaysbeen a mystery to me how men can feel themselves honored by the humiliation of their fellow being.

In prayer it is better to have a heart without words then words without a heart.

X PRESSThe issue for this month is:Are women equally if not more responsible for discriminating against and targeting the girl child? Pre-natal sex determination, diet and nutrition, seeking timely medical help, choice of career, quality and length of education etc are all areas where women in the family are equally or more responsible for the decisions taken, but find it convenient to blame the men-folk and society in general.

D r S h u b h a d a G a d e : Compliments for raising an important issue. It's true that n o w a d a y s w o m e n a r e c o n s i d e r e d e q u a l l y respons ib le fo r a l l the decisions taken in the family. But this is applicable to only a

very small fraction of the society; I should say only the creamy layer to which a few belong. Needless to mention rural areas, even in higher middle class urban families, women get second class treatment. Majority of the women can't take major decisions. May be for this reason she is a part of targeting the girl child, apart from the other being the burning issue of dowry prevalent in society even today.

As the only male contributor to this discussion I know I am treading on thin ice and risk inviting the ire of most ladies. Almost all the contributors have typically blamed society and men for shaping THEIR attitudes and thinking and absolved their sex as being helpless!!This topic was raised with the sole view of bringing to the fore that to minimize gender discrimination, the obvious ones to lead the change are the affected sex themselves!!Most Indian women feel that producing a son enhances their position in the family and also look upon them as their means of security in old age. Daughters are looked upon as being burdens (Paraya Dhan) and destined to suffer like their mothers. THIS mindset must change…….FIRST amongst women themselves!! SOCIETY WILL FOLLOW!! No tyrant ever gave up power willingly, so it would be unrealistic to expect men to lead this change!! Change is only possible if boys and girls are brought up without any discrimination and THAT is where mothers in particular have to be` far more pro-active than they are now. -PP Dr Sanjiv Chugh

Divya Sharma: Mothers may also be inclined towards sex discrimination because of pressures of society. The 'weaker' sex is subject to male dominance and harassment, prejudiced laws and unsafe

environment, with constant sacrifice and compromise required! The pre-defined roles of women in a family all point to a bias against daughters even in today's world.

Amina Vali: No, I don't believe t h a t w o m e n a r e m o r e responsible for targeting the girl child - our Indian Society is t o b e b l a m e d . I t h a s cond i t ioned the female thinking in such a way that it makes her feel that bearing a

son would ensure a happy and secure life for her. Also customs such as Dowry and the fact that the last rites are to be performed by the male child only have been instrumental in aiding this.

Aneeta Patel: Maybe it is India's outdated mindset that dictates gender discrimination. We're just emerging from the agrarian era. The farmer needed sons to till his fields – d a u g h t e r s w e r e n o t

considered of particular use. Or maybe it is the dowry system that is to blame. The monetary benefits of male offspring totally outweigh the need for a gender balance in the home!And let's face it; women are the worst enemies of other women. The Chinese character for trouble is two women under one roof! Most women's dream of an ideal situation is being the only female in the family!!I remember in Mumbai while I was staying in a working women's hostel there was a survey done amongst the young ladies. We were asked whether we would like to have sons or daughters. Nine out of ten girls said sons!! The reason given was that sons are better equipped to look after ageing parents! And this was supposed to be intelligent and educated women earning their own living!!

R i t a A g g a r w a l : I n a patriarchal society where men rule and control the resources the decisions at home are made by the male heads. Statistics show how much money is spent on women's

education and health issues compared to the development of males. Discrimination of women prevails in all walks of life. Yes, male dominated values are imbibed by women too as they become transmission agents of the sickness of civilization.

Neeta Kale: We are living in a society which is so insulated from reality that we genuinely believe that discrimination of this kind is a mindset of the past. That a girl child is not given the same welcome and

equal opportunities is actually a reality. A woman does tend to put the blame on others because she is the one who is subject to the social and family pressures even if she does not always agree with the decisions that are being taken about her children.

Monica Bhagwagar: This is pertinent to some sections of the society. There are grey areas depending on which background or community you hail from. In the lower and middle class sections this

holds true. The conditioning of the female psyche is groomed so from the very start and the cycle continues from generation to generation. The dictum that it is the male member who is the head of the family and has to be the main bread winner, shapes the thought process and the behavior of society. Then there is so much pressure to produce the male child, by the men folk and the Mother in law (??!!!!). It becomes a vicious circle who to blame …….

Dr Vandana Hazra: I think it is wrong to say that women are more responsible for a girl child's woes (in the womb and outside)!! After all, the society that targets the girl child is the one that is conservative, does not believe in gender equality

& treats a beti like “paraya dhan”! Obviously, the decision making in such families rests with the men of the household. Women are the puppets (visible) and the men pull the strings (invisible). Discrimination of any kind is due to a mindset largely influenced by socio-economic, cultural, educational & even real life experiences. It is gender neutral - so the mindset needs to be changed!

EXPERIENCE OF A LIFE TIME How amazing it feels to see the whole family along with King Of the Jungle! Have you ever experienced that? I did. Flash. Flash. Flash. I clicked 576 pictures of the lions. Every move, every expression was captured. I stood speechless, numb, just staring at them. 13 Cute, chubby cubs, 3 lionesses and 1 Lion! Amazing. We were in the Kruger city of South Africa. Our resort was basically placed in the centre of a jungle and the resort had no fencing! Quite adventurous, huh? The 3 days we spent there, we woke up early, at 5am, got ready and left for the game drive. The game drive is supposed to be a drive where in we play the game of hide and seek with the animals. We have to find out animals! The driver of the long open safari jeep was very strict. While seated in his jeep, we had to follow certain rules and regulations which cannot dared to be disobeyed. No eating allowed (without which it's really difficult for Indians to survive),No taking allowed (thank god. We were allowed to click photographs at least!). The earlier game drives were meant to be very exciting but the unexpected happened and we saw nothing more than a few elephants, deer, buffaloes, rhinoceros and leopard. The day we finally got the treasure of staring at the Kings & Queens was our last game drive as we had to leave for exploring more of South Africa. And this time we had lost all hopes of getting a glimpse of the Lions but again the unexpected happened and we got a wonderful surpr ise!It was indeed a life time experience and I would like to suggest you all to do visit South Africa and thoroughly enjoy the breathtaking beauty and adventurous Safaris!

C R E AT I V E W O R K S I N FOCUS : Vardaan, i s a ta len ted youngster presently studying in his final year at Tirpude College. As a kid, he was really into music which lead to his increasing interest in learning how to play a musical instrument. Initially he joined guitar classes when he was 13 along with a friend, who shared a similar interest. After a couple of months he left the classes and started practicing alone. A constant source of encouragement and support was his mother who helped him in keeping his dream alive. His interest only increased in the years that followed. His band was formed in June of 2007 and he along with his band-mates decided to call themselves “Interruption”. Vardaan is the lead guitarist of the band. Since then they have been performing at a lot of places all over the city.They have also performed in college festivals and have won many of them as well. Their influences are mostly from the thrash metal band Metallica. They cover some of their songs and have a lot of our own original compositions.My studies go along simultaneously, but the music never stops. For further details vardaan can be contacted on

LITTLE HEARTS I love rainy season. It's so much fun watching raindrops coming from the sky. I was looking for an opportunity to enjoy it completely. It was raining on a Sunday morning. I always wanted to go outside, enjoy the rains, take a walk and simply jump in the water. It's so much fun. But mom always stopped me fearing cold and fever. Finally I asked papa to come with me and also asked my little brother to join me. Papa agreed but asked both of us to wear raincoats. My little bro was looking so cute in it. I too agreed but then took of raincoat after some time. Papa simply smiled and ignored it. What a nice time we had!! There was no traffic and we could take a long walk. I was totally wet but enjoyed it.

FOUNDATION FACTS

Quick! Which was the “Most Improved Country” at the just concluded London Olympics? With a 300% improvement over its previous appearance? Hint : It still has won lesser medals throughout its history as a country, than Michael Phelps has, as an individual. Hint : Its athletes cry when they win medals, not when they lose them. Last Hint : Its Sports Minister has announced that in the next Olympics his country will aim for an unheard-of 25 medals, breaking all previous records, silence all critics, win him all elections and elevate him to demigod status. And you guessed it right. It is India!But I bet you are smart enough to realise that Indians win in spite of, not because of the system. Which should actually be enough for us to stand and applaud the efforts of the athlete whose greatest victory was to counter these odds and emerge victorious. In fact, I seriously believe that an Indian athlete can beat the world at Decathlon, what with his ability to run from pillar to post, hurdle the 'babu' barriers, swim through murky politics, jump over bureaucratic obstacles, throw his ambitions into disarray and vault over fantastic odds to even compete at the international level. Add to this the media glare that these athletes are put under once every four years. Suddenly out of nowhere you hear difficult-to-pronounce names from a hyperventilating reporter whose job it is to cover so-and-so athlete during his practice and is utterly convinced in just two days of following said athlete around that said athlete is a “bright medal prospect” .... said athlete stands around shuffling his feet, trying to look confident, but completely unsure whether even his travel documents are cleared and sanctioned. Of course, said athlete is mercilessly butchered by the same media if he fails to live up to their expectations. And immediately after the world event, our poor athletes are completely ignored for the media has to cover more important “Breaking News” type matters. Like the Sports Minister's favourite buffalo delivering quintuplets. Gimme a break!The rot is at the root. World-level athletes are created, not born. And for that you need world-level infrastructure at the grassroots. Which school do you know has facilities that can nurture and hone talent? Which sports body do you know picks up talented youngsters and moulds them into champions? Why go far? Look at Nagpur. The authorities sanctioned and announced grand plans for modern stadia and sports centers at Mankapur. One stadium was even constructed. Then what happened? It is rotting today and is home to vagabonds, stray animals and other assorted creatures. So now even this boils down to the bane of India ... corruption. Grandiose plans are made only on paper. Over-inflated budgets fill the coffers of whichever party rules. Sub-standard equipment is provided to athletes who are then supposed to become world champions. And in spite of the efforts of the powers-that-be, some even do!But all is not lost. If only we cared and dared to look deep within India, we would find world class athletes right among us. The girls walking tightropes in Indian Melas. The fishermen who swim treacherous waters in stormy seas for their livelihood. The fragile looking women carrying loads heavier than themselves at numerous construction sites. They can be moulded into world-beating athletes and yet they are fighting desperately to get two square meals a day. What if they were given the diet of Michael Phelps? I heard his daily calorie intake is 12000 cals!!!I think India has tremendous potential ... there are just 2 problems.1. We are not looking in the right places... 2. We are not looking at all... -Sohrab Kanga

MONEY MONEYInvestment Tips

This is 'Kahani ghar ghar ki'. I had heard it before and experienced it few days back. I was 'ordered' by my son to bring some money on my way back, as he wanted to buy some toys. When I asked him where will the money come from? pat comes a reply…its available 24*7 at nearby ATM of a bank. All you need, he explained, is to get a card, insert it in a machine, punch few numbers and get the money!! For a 5 years old kid who has always seen his parents taking out money from machine, this was correct and logical answer. But this is not about 5 years old. This piece is about children in teens and those who have just started earning money. So here are few tips for the new generation.

Everybody knows how inflation impact finances. There is another inflation what I call as behavioral inflation. It is especially true in case of youngsters who have easy access of money without being aware of efforts put in by their parents to earn it. The sooner young children are taught the correlation between what money buys and its real source, the more likely they will grow into financially responsible adults. Children should learn from an early age that being financially responsible is about making hard choices – and there are very few free lunches.

We generally give pocket money to kids. But we should make sure they realize its value. It could be reward based where it accrues to them either for some labour or good behaviour. Children should not be given a choice of whether to save. Saving is a must. The choices could be how much to save, for how long and which savings vehicle is appropriate. Helping them open a bank account, involving them in few transactions, these small things will go a long way in making them financially knowledgeable.

It's also important that they know where money is going. With so many temptations around, they are bound to go overboard. But sooner they realized the cost of instant gratification better it is for them. The only tool they have to realize this is by keeping proper records and tracking it regularly. Unfortunately no school curriculum teaches this highly important life skill. But that does not mean it can't be learned. So if it is not there in school, it is definitely a job of parents.

And finally the most important; 'Let me spent, this is my money' syndrome. It's true where they have earned their first pay. Spending is natural consequence of earning. Its time for parents to intervene and counsel them on benefits of proper financial management and basics of investments. This will create solid foundation for great financial structure.

One of the most important lessons one can teach their children is that money is a precious resource. It is something, for which someone has had to work. Let them than enjoy the fruits of it. After all the classical definition of money goes like this; “Money is what money does”. Let them experience it!!
