Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham




Hello friends

Greetings for the festivals !!

As all we know the month of August brings the festive mood with it.
Shravan, Independence Day, Eid... And now September,  Naag pancham, Sheetla satam, Krishna Ashtami.... The list of festivals take off and goes till November, till Diwali comes.

Every festivals signify some or the other duties to mankind. Needless to say Religions and Science walks hands in hands. Its a different story that we don't bother to understand the ideology, the secret behind it. With our myopic vision we don't acknowledge the significance of any festivals.

The reason is changing time.
Everything changes with time. Then why not way of celebration?

This time we have planned the celebration of our Independence Day differently.
For that We had planned Blood donation camp with the association of Western Railway Motormen association and Nair Hospital.

Ofcourse, it was a collective efforts of four clubs. In Six hours time we could collect 78 bottles. Certainly, not a bad score it is.

Secondly, we did Mega awareness camp for RUBELLA and THALASSEMIA. More than 10 clubs co hosted it. Doctors from H. N. Reliance Hospital shared detailed information about it. This was just a first phase. Second phase will be with the actual vaccination in slums and public schools.
We had a fruitful visit for Paediatric heart surgery too.

A most informative and interesting programme was Rotary ki Pathshala, where RCMPC was one of the hosts. Very interesting programme for new as well seasoned Rotarian.

The month was fulfilling with the activities but sad news also there on list.

We lost our beloved past president Rtn. Namrata Agrawal. A brave heart lady fought tooth and nail with cancer till end.

 RCMCP is feeling deep loss with her sad demise. In her memory RCMCP held one special meeting, where  more than eight  co Presidents including PDG Gopal Mandhania and his wife Ave chair Rajendra Agarwal came for it . Mostly all the co Presidents cherished fond memories. On this occasion, entire Agrawal family was present.

May god gives her soul eternal peace and strength to family to bear this irreparable loss.

And now time is to look forward for 'come September'.
One more new months, new projects, new missions and new us...

Everyday comes with new beginning. Lets gear up....

One for the road :

सैर की, ख़ूब फिरे, फूल चुने, शाद रहे
बाग़बां जाते हैं गुलशन तेरा आबाद रहे
शाद = Happy,  Delightful
( In PP Rtn. Namrata Agrawal 's fond memory)

Miracles of Mission Muskan

We live in an age of miracles. ~ Levon Helm Residing in Borivali, Mumbai, poor Mahanto is a father of two daughters. He was very unhappy for them as both the girls are heart patients. When I met Mahanto at SRCC Children Hospital one of his daughters had already undergone surgery. He was so overjoyed he could not hold back his emotions and tears as he spoke to us. His 5 year daughter was successfully operated and is now stable. I have captured his joy in a video clip which I am wish to share here as an attachment. After meeting Mahanto, I believe that miracles truly occur. Its impossible to believe this unless one looks into Mahanto's eyes. A painter by profession, he earns Rs. 550 per day, he has no choice but to work daily being a daily labourer. Both the daughters kept falling ill. Breathlessness, fever and weight loss being common symptoms. Once when the elder daughter was very ill, the parents rushed her to the doctor and the general physician found out that both

Green beginning

Green beginning !! Its 1st July. Beginning of Rotary new year. So RCMCP have decided to kick start the new year  with Tree plantation drive. As we all know that   tree Plantation drives combat many environmental issues like deforestation, erosion of soil, desertification in semi-arid areas, global warming and hence enhancing the beauty and balance of the environment. Trees absorb harmful gases and emit oxygen resulting in increase in oxygen supply. On an average, a single tree emits 260 pounds of oxygen annually. Similarly, a fully-grown tree is sufficient for 18 human beings in one acre of land in one year stressing the importance of tree plantation for mankind. Govt of Maharashtra is running VAN MAHOTSAV drive from July 1st to 7th. As part of it, RCMCP did plantation of BAHUGUNI trees, which give small white fruits and birds can feast on them. On A,B,C and D roads and Churchgate area many trees had uprooted because of heavy storms and ongoing work of Metro. So it was very muc
