RCC - SACRED GAMES MAGAZINE 2020_hsplit

The most powerful, efficient energy source in the world is your own mind. Explore and discover that it can make
creative fuel from anything. The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons
come from the journey, not the destination.Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty.
Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, and sometimes your smile is the source of your joy.
Going within and being the source of what you wish to feel. It’s a challenge at times but it is so, so rewarding to
be able to access and encourage feelings like freedom, support and love all within you.
There is a fountain of youth, it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people
you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.
Silence is a source of great strength.
The formula for success, BE THE SOURCE applies to anything and everything. If you want to have success in your
life, be the source of success in others. If you want to have prosperity in your life, be the source of prosperity in
others. The formula is summed up in three powerful words, and has the potential to change your life for the better.
Be the source of whatever it is that you desire.
BE THE JOY, BE THE SMILE, BE THE HAPPINESS, BE THE INSPIRATION BE THE SOURCE

Dear RCCians,
“The most powerful, efficient energy Source in the world is your
MIND.
Explore & discover that it can make creative fuel from anything.”
I will ask for you and I’ll ask for you over & over and over without
pause, without a doubt in a heartbeat, I’ll keep asking for you! I
would start by thanking Mr. Mahesh Agarwal who has been a pillar
of support to me throughout my tenure. In fact, the way he has
stood by, corrected and reflected on every decision which was made
for Lifting RCC to new heights was indeed a Learning Experience. I
create my personal abundance from an infinite source. The Infinite
source of abundance is already within and around you.
PRESIDENT
DESK
Everybody told me that this year would fly by and they were all correct.
It seems like yesterday, I was preparing to take on the presidency
of this wonderful organization. The strength of RCC is in its
members and their willingness to live up to the maximum of SELF-
LESS service above self. I am extremely proud of all that we have
accomplished this year and the way we are going to continue to be
an energetic and self motivated and dedicated in the RCC community.
To represent our club as president this year was indeed a great
privilege.
I am privileged to have a board of experienced past presidents and
enthusiastic RCCians who are eager to serve. Together, WE connected
the world and engaged in meaningful projects that filled
this world with light. It connects us with people we would never
otherwise have met, who are not only more like us, but are just extensions
to each one of us. It connects us with our communities, to
professional opportunities and to the people who need our help. As

I thank all the board of directors who have been with me at every step of this beautiful journey. I could not have
escalated this year without all of you. It has been great pleasure to be the president and I am filled with the memories
created by us this year.
Placed in the leadership position this year, we involved all members to enjoy RCC activities, strengthen our RCC
image and create a positive change in communities. Our unique strength arises from the special relationship that
we have built through our regular meetings, involvement in projects and much more. Our authenticity shines
through such interactions and the level of trust we have for each other enables us to achieve great things together
as a team!
I would like to thank all the members of our RCC for giving me their trust and support throughout this memorable
year of 2019-20. Today, as I prepare to handover the presidency of the club, I have realized the extent of the
power and Potential RCC has, the system and the network that it has built over the years and effect of the good
work that it does every day. This is what makes RCC so magical.
I bow down in Gratitude to My Parents & My Guru My
who blessed me with this Beautiful Life. They
say there is always a woman behind a man’s success. But when I turn around and look back, I believe that - Preeti
is the Lady who has been the gem and the feather of my Crown, not just standing behind me, but more importantly
being beside me in every moment of my Life. My Shining Star, Dhruvv Surana because he directed me to the
Path of Happiness. My Little Star, Moksh Surana has been a Source of Pride and Love for me.
The way my Family has always held me Tight in every Dimension of my Life makes me feel So Blessed and Very
Responsible to make our Moments Count.
I would end by making a Very Profound Statement - “LIFE IS TIME... TIME IS EVERYTHING. LET US ALL MAKE IT
COUNT! “
Wishing you most and more abundance in life.
President 2019-20
Pavan Surana

Hello Cosmonians!!!
As a SECRETARY of RCC for 2019-20 there are lots of events
I want to highlight but before i begin I wish to HUMBLY THANK
the DIVINE for all the blessings and also the most important
people in my life. Good leaders have vision and inspire others
to help them turn vision into reality. Great leaders create more
leaders, not followers. Great leaders have vision, share vision,
and inspire others to create their own and such is our PRESIDENT.
Trust is a big word and I thank my good friend and PRESIDENT,
MR. PAVAN SURANA for the the faith imposed in me by making
me secretary of RCC for this year. The prize of success is hard
work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that
whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves
to the task at hand.
SECRETARIAL
REPORT
A BIG THANK you to all the directors and their team members
and all those who have helped in accomplishing a successful
term to the best of their abilities. Also, In gratitude to all the RCC
members whose presence and support has acted as a cement in
creating beautiful memories.
To carry on tasks sometimes we need to delegate and who better
than my wife Vishakha who has always tried her best in being
my best secretary.
Communication being the key word as a SECRETARY, we made
sure that all messages were floated on time and meetings held
in order. It was a great experience and learning platform and I
am extremely thankful for this enriching experience.
A heartfelt GRATITUDE for all that was bestowed to us.
RCC SECRETARY
Mahesh agarwal

Dear RCCians,
With great pride and honour, we present to you our very first
edition of RCC e-magazine 2019-20 – Sacred Games Edition.
This is the first time I have taken up a leadership post in this club
and my experience has been nothing but delightful.
“Great leaders don’t set out to be a leader, they set out to make
a difference. It’s never about the role, it is always about the
goal.” Just as the saying suggests, our leaders, president Pawan
Surana and Secretary Mahesh Aggarwal, have done immensely
towards making this year different and memorable. Our magazine
justifies the hard work and efforts they, along with the entire
committee has put into them. They have been a pillar of support
for this club and its activities. This, commensurate with zeal and
co-operation of the amazing members of RCC has truly made
for an excellent year.
FROM THE
EDITOR’S
DESK
This year, we as a team recognized the environmental benefits
of publishing an e-magazine and trusting to create a difference,
even if minimal. In this digital era, we can hope that our members
can and would look back at this magazine at touch of their
fingers, without having to find it stashed in drawer or cupboard
like any other traditional magazine. We wish to move with the
trends and can hope that even in the future, our club is always
at par with them.
As the editor of the first ever e-magazine published by our club,
I sincerely hope that reading this year’s magazine will be like
scrolling through a beautiful feed on Facebook or Instagram. I
hope that the nostalgia it brings, comes along with happiness
and joy. No matter where you are seeing this magazine – desktop,
phone or ipad, I am sure this sacred games edition will
dwell into your hearts, just like its namesake Netflix series did.
Aham Bramhasmi.

INSTALLATION DIRECTOR
SHRI. DEV BETHALA
Installation being the first program of the year sets the tone for the year. I was skeptical in being the installation director,
as it’s a task of introducing the board in the best possible way. The pressure of last 25 years of great installation
themes starts working in your mind.
Pawan and Mahesh had been meeting up exactly a month before and in very simple terms had put across that it’s a
total free hand to the Installation Director , in regards to the idea & theme. These directors are the ones who would
take the club forward for the next one year. I wanted to showcase the Director and their family without the effort of acting
and drama. With such wonderful installation themes completed in the last 25years it was actually turning up to be a
challenge to find a new theme .
Working on various ideas ,the theme of CHESS , seemed a good fit. We set ourselves to the theme of Black & White as
in the Chess board, got a Photoshoot done for all the directors with their family and that helped us in making the scripted
Installation video.
Introducing each director as being a piece of the chess board. I am sure every member member would remember that
black and white themed afternoon. I would like to put forward my gratitude to Pavan and Mahesh for having faith and
believing in the idea and theme that I put across.

BIRTHDAY GIFTS

FROM THE
DIRECTORS DESK
The year has been an extremely memorable journey. Anyone who has spent time with kids know they can
be an uplifting source of joy. Children can trigger strong emotions in people that make us smile, laugh, cry,
or even just stare in bewilderment . The team Bumblebee has been buzzing year around to leave a positive
impact on the future minds. The motto was loud and clear- to prepare them for the future through fellowship,
fun and entertainment.
When individuals commit to the greater good of a larger number, success becomes imperative. This success
belongs not only to me, but to my entire team without whom this would not have been possible.
“Leadership is not a position or a title it is action and an example” Special thanks to our president and secretary
who worked as a team member and inspired us like true leaders. And finally, my lovely wife who stood
beside me like a rock ensuring the success of every event through her efforts and support. I’m honored to
have had this wonderful opportunity bestowed to me. Here’s a small glimpse how much we’ve enjoyed this
journey with all the wonderful kids.

ROBOTICS
Who said engineers are made in engineering
colleges. It was mind boggling
to see the myth breaking at the
robotic event ROBEE organized at DESI
KLUB, where every kid engineered his
own Robo. In this STEM based workshop,
kids were trained in critical
thinking and analytical reasoning to
build their own Lego robots and take
part in an ultimate race between the
robots. Science and Technology are
everywhere today and so it’s important
for our kids to be trained in this
field and they depicted their prowess
in this workshop.

A super Sunday witnessed young blood adorn a white apron and a chef’s hat and meticulously stir a laddle and spoon to make
yummylicious pizza and starters @FOODOLOGY ADYAR. Due to huge numbers 2 batches were conducted. Enthusiasmsaw no
boundaries in making these delicacies and the MASTER CHEFS relished their own cooked up food.

The concept was to creat bonding among the kids and what best way than Board games that sparks the intellect
and teaches cooperation, and patience. Gadget free hours are a must with this generation and giving them a
taste of this Lost art was a must. The sense of accomplishment on winning a game at the boards paved way for
more FELLOWSHIP and bonding among the kiddoz.

We capitalised on the screening of movie JUMANJI in sathyam and attained Full house with 80+ kids turning out
to watch the movie Which took them on a wild imaginative ride. Jumanji proved to be a perfect choice and also
a very relaxing entertainment for the kids for who does not love to have POPCORN at the movies!!!!!

CRAZY SPORTS
Do you know what’s my favorite part of games is ? The opportunity to play!!! this was the motto of crazy sports
at WHISTLE-URBAN SPORTS. divided in four team the games were designed in a way that every kid was given
equal opportunity to play and exhibit their talent. Fun events such as Tug of war, Hoola pass Human tunnel,
sack race and much more had the sporty kids run from pillar to post to make their team WIN.The group games
increased the level.of competitiveness and ensured more camaraderie among the kids.

Whetever the age may be birthdays do make us feel special and happy and excited.
The team worked restlessly around the year to wish each kid on their birthday and
deliver yummy chocolate cake at their doorsteps. The gesture jus about completed
in making our kiddoz feel special and excited on their birthday

SPORTS DIRECTOR

GREETER
DIRECTOR
SHRI. AMOL CHITLANGIA
President Pavan Surana and Mahesh approached me for the Greeter post for the club with a strength of 350+ members. Relatively
new to the club and a look at the average greeting of 1.5 greetings every day), a herculian task, I finally took the plunge.
The first challenge was to greet the members without much knowledge about them as we were new to the club and this is how
the idea of KYC (Know your cubmates evolved/popped up. I was unsure of the full framework and the time was approaching
to hit the bullets. My better half Ruchika and ME started sending KYC form to members, Initially it took time for the members to
share their personal details but eventually the enjoyment of reading other members profile had them happily sharing theirs too.
The second challenge was being constant and consistent in our work, as inconvenient times (travelling in different time Zones,
extremely tight work schedule and receiving the details in the last hours) had us on our toes. It was a journey of beautiful experiences,
enlightening us on the various facets of RCC family members. SMILING photos radiating happiness was a walk down the
memory lane and perfect coffee morning READ for its members. The pics and the info depicted the journey of its members from
roots to the present. A sneak peek of sorts!!!! Admiration from members kept me motivated and constant throughout the year.
Undeterred, we marched on in our endeavour to present the members with the best.
Would like to thank the entire RCC fraternity for giving me an opportunity to be a part of this wonderful journey where each day
was a celebration for us. Once again thanks Pavan n Mahesh for entrusting me with a post that brought out the BEST in me.
Love
Amol Chitlangia

they are blessings to their friends. Instead of
making long stories this Reserved person is a good critic.
People with this combo are few, their sincerity is rare and
golden. As when they pay a compliment they mean it.
This cosmonian loves to read books, one of his favourite
authors is Ayn Rand and very often he settles
to read “The Last Lecture – Randy Pausch”.
A fun & adorable fact - he loves reading Tintin.
A man with a liking of History & Stories, no doubt Mythology
enriches him and anything that’s Ancient fascinates him.
“Glory of Love – by Peter Cetera” and “Yaaram
– by Gulzar” are one of his favourite tracks.
He loves hot-spicy food and mostly ate at Dasa
Dosa (now Closed)and not to forget the icecreams
at Amadora. His love for colour, culture and history
keeps taking him back to the Pink City - Jaipur.
His anecdotal Style Statement that reflects his true
character - “it’s more about just being yourself,
it’s a way to express who you are, an emotion”.
A phrase that he lives by We cannot change the cards we
are dealt, just how we play the hand. – Randy Pausch.

experiences.

“Every person, always, is in a kind of informal partnership with his community. His own success is dependent to a large
degree on that community, and the community, after all, is the sum total of the individuals who make it up. The institutions
of a community, in turn, are the means by which those individuals express their faith, their ideals and their concern for
fellow men.”
“We recognize that our obligation to fellow men does not stop at the boundaries of the community. In an even larger sense,
every man is in partnership with the rest of the human race in the eternal conquest which we call civilization.”
I am humbled and grateful that our President Shri. Pavan Surana entrusted me to serve as Managing Trustee of RCCF.
2019 marked the 25th year of the foundation and the “Cloth Bank” and it would be difficult to quantify the extraordinary
difference we made in people’s lives in these glorious 25 years of RCCF. We have been at the forefront of the city’s charity
page rising to every occasion of difficulty, disaster and every form of calamity, we delivered every time, and we were and
are heartened and thankful for the same. The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined efforts
of each individual, as such would like to thank every cosmonian who put in their valuable time to make the 25th year of
RCCF a memorable one. A special thanks to our RCCF Secretary Shri. Anand Jain, Shri Navratanmull Ji Chordia of Khivraj
Chordia Foundation, Shri. Anil Jain of UGTA Foundation (A Refex Initiative), Shri Narendra Sakariya (Megh Synergy Group)
Smt. Sangeetha Padam Taleda, Chairperson of Meena Bazaar for making the year an unforgettable one.
A successful team is a group of many hands and a common mind and I wish to thank the entire trust board for all their
guidance and support. None of these would have been possible without their expertise, experience and enthusiasm.
We should remain open to emerging needs and opportunities — as well as new ways of working — while maintaining
strategic support for core issues we care about. We believe all of those approaches are essential to good philanthropy.
The organizations we support and the people and communities we serve have long helped to inform our work, moving us
forward and keeping RCCF fresh and focused.
There is a saying, don’t remember the name though....
But it’s been in my heart since I first read it.....
You will rise like the Sun, if you light a candle for someone who is in need. So....
Be the Sun!!
To all of you, I extend my deepest thanks.
Jai Hind!!

members and we all felt truly blessed when we saw the cheer and joy
visible on the faces.
Gender dosen’t need and dosen’t have –gatekeepers. Our special comment
of appreciation to Shri. Tarun Jain, without his effort this event
would not have been possible.

Rajasthan Cosmo Club Foundation for the very first time ‘Reached Out’ to the inmates of various
lepers colony by empowering them to rise above the social stigma and also distributed 2800 New

by leprosy.
We thank and appreciate Smt. Laltaji Jhangra who guided us from the beginning and helped us to
carry out this distribution at the locations identified by her.

CLOTH BAGS PROJECT
Managing Trustee Shri. Vijay Kankaria has initiated the cloth bags made from textile material bits available at
our cloth bank and are being stitched by the team at “Born 2 Win” who are the trans community members of
our society. So far around 500 bags have been stitched by them and the work is in progress for more bags.
Shri. Sureshsa Gundecha agreed to assist in getting the printing done on the bags.
CLOTH STORE PROJECT
The cloth store project was discussed in detail and as decided quotations were received for setting
up of a cloth store at our office premises. The costs for two different sizes were received.
10.5 ft. width x 9 ft. height and 10.5 ft. width x 8 ft. height. Both these sizes were to have a door at the rear
side of the aluminium cabin for access to our office. Shri Suresh Gundecha suggested that we should go in for
a stand alone concept store than have a store at our office. Shri Dinesh Kothari also concurred with the same.
NEW ASSETS PURCHASED
1. Godrej Safety Locker and placed it on the second floor
of RCCF Office.
2. New desktop computer and Tally ERP Software for our
office
It’s our pleasure in informing you that all the events
were very successful and we were able to transform
the lives of many. But the success of such events is incomplete
without the support of people like you. It’s
your love and concern for the society that makes such
events a big success and helps us deliver our goal.
Jai Hind !!

MEENA BAZAAR
SMT. SANGEETA PADAM TALEDA
It is said that “A leader is as good as the team is’ and with the successful execution of our Prestigious Meena Bazaar this year I have all
the reasons under the sun to feel like a QUEEN.
At the outset , when I was made the chairperson of Meena Bazaar, I did feel ‘butterflies in my stomach’ and the sheer thought of executing
such an humungous event made me feel jittery; but with the wholehearted support of so many friends who industriously burnt months of
midnight oil to deliver yet another edition of BIGGER...BETTER...BOLDER... MEENA BAZAAR.
The 17th edition of Meena Bazaar held on the 9th and 10th of September at YMCA, Royapettah was inaugurated by actress Janani Iyer
and had 215 exhibitors participating from all across India.
The event was aggressively marketed through a sustained social media campaign and was also extensively covered by various print media
houses and newspapers. With a judicious mix of many first time exhibitors along with regular exhibitors, the event was swamped by over
15000 visitors resulting in brisk business for one and all.
I thank my committee , my husband Padam or should I say my pillar of strength, the events team represented by Mr Gopi, who helped me
realise my dream of showcasing yet another superlative edition of Meena Bazaar , creating not only a milestone in RCC, but an experience
that I shall cherish for the rest of my life.Yes indeed this was the ‘QUEEN’ moment in my life...

A HOLIDAY @ GOD’s OWN COUNTRY
RCC Senators’s maiden 2D/3N trip to Kumarakom, Kerala under the leadership of Abhaya Srisrimal Jain was a super duper hit. We’re
eager to share with you our experience about our trip and the whole fun. The trip began with dividing the group into two teams named
Delhi Belly & Salaam Bombay. Each team was assigned to handle the events of one day by turn and each couple was assigned one pleasant
task for the whole group. This started the fun much before the trip commenced. The team leaders Lalith Mehta & Narendra Kankaria
took charge and guided their respective group to give of their best. The idea and the tour was put together and coordinated by Sushil &
Sumithra Sethiya with the help of an event company – Floral management company - Kochi. Magnanimous sponsorship started pouring
from members - T Shirts from Udhaya Mehta, Gift hampers from Narendra Kankaria, Chocolates & Golden keychains from Sushil Sethiya,
Badam Kathlis from Rajesh Mardia.

DAY 1
Senators were treated like Baraathis from Cochin Airport to Kumarakom in a luxurious bus
with a well informed guide appraising us about Kerala culture and why it is called God’s Own
country. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Parasurama who was an avatar of Vishnu once
threw his axe from Kanyakumari towards the north and thus a land arose from the ocean
which is now known as Kerala. Park Regis Aveda Resort was just perfect place for us to unwind.
It was nice to see Senators getting back to their old enthusiasm shown 25 years back after the
rejuvenating Ayurvedic Massage for everybody – courtesy Usha and Abhaya Srisrimal Jain. Every
couple did their best, Udhay-Suman Mehta organised a nice auction game, kept everyone
on their toes. Gautham-Usha Khariwal’s musical quiz programme took us to the golden era of
Bollywood music. Sadhana-T.R. Achha gave Yoga tips and Sushil-Sumithra’s Sukshma Kriyas
made all of us fit and flexible. Anita-Lalith Mehta threw light on how we get Paap & Punya
bandhans. Rajendra-Chandrakala Nahata gave some astrological tips and Abhay Srisrimal
Jain gave guidance on financial security, to name a few. We had a great time, everything was
good fun and very well organized. We wanted everybody to enjoy some reading and hence
Rajendiran Chordia put together a folder containing inspirational write-ups in every room.
The restaurant next to the pool with fine vegetarian spread was exclusively arranged for us
and the Kerala hospitality was at its best. Lalith Mehta’s Haldi ki sabzi and in-house cultural
Programmes were outstanding.
DAY 2
There was a bus travel from Kumarakom to Alleppey and then on to a day cruise exclusively for us on a fully Bamboo boat which took
us through the scenic backwaters of Vembanad Lake. As we drove into the serene backwaters connecting Kumarakom and Kochi,
there was a certain energy and feeling of being one with nature. Kerala’s traditional food Sadhya on banana leaves served on board
is not to be missed. To capture the natures beauty a photography competition was conducted and best picture in each category was
selected.

Day 3
We were back to Kochi. Enroute, Abhay Srisrimal Jain discussed future programmes of Senators club, many ideas were shared by
members which we are sure will make the club meaningful and make every one enjoy their second innings. Having seen Kerala’s
natural beauty, we had a peep into its commercial side - India’s biggest shopping mall, Lulu Mall which also offered a typical Rajasthani
Thali Lunch @ Maharaja Bhog - Coutesy Lalith Mehta. It was like getting us back to our culture. Usha Srisrimal and Rajendiran
Chordia wanted to taste Turkish Ice cream and were thrilled by the magical presentation making the ice-cream disappear and then
giving it to us.
There was no way we could get it unless he himself gave it to us! hand of Thamizhnadu Governor Banwarilal Purohit at its Platinum
Jubilee celebrations. You would be glad to know that he is constructing his Dharamshallah, Bhutadi, Nagaur, Rajasthan shortly,
through his charitable foundation, 2) Smt. Lalitha, wife of Goutham Jhangra, for celebrating World Leprosy Day on 5th Jan 2020
at Singaperumalkoil, with 2,000 inmates of Leprosy Homes all over Thamizhnadu. Her fulltime services for them is most laudable.
And 3) in 80 Holidays Customised high- end holiday solutions exclusively for the elite - for sponsoring the RCC Senators @Kumarakom
holiday special e-bulletin. I wish to draw your attention to a great spiritual honor that I was bestowed with recently. An area of
5.5 acres of land were donated to the Thirumala Thirupathi Devasthanam Board on 31st January, 2020 for the construction of a Lord
Venkatachalapathy temple in Ulundurpet, my home town. A part of this land, consisting of 1.5 acres owned by my family was offered
at a very nominal price for this devotional cause. This temple will also house a marriage mandapam, guest house for pilgrims, TTD
booking office and visiting Thirupathi. This prestigious project is expected to be completed in 2 years time.
- M. Rajendiran Chordia

LUNCH @ ANALAKSHMI
Our director senator wing Abhay Srisrimal Jain organized “lunch on meet” followed by a movie night Angreze
medium. Due to COVID 19, the movie was canceled but we had a wonderful lunch & fellowship on Tuesday,
March 17th, 2019.

NOSTALGIA
Dear President Pavan Surana, Secretary Mahesh Agarwal and fellow Cosmonians,
It has been quite some time since we had such wonderful fellowship. This prog paved the
way for renewed interaction between Senators, Past Presidents and especially with RCC
younger members. This has been a greatly felt need, now gratified by the event. The overnight
stay offered ample scope for close networking. Truly a great idea. Thanks to all the
young Cosmonians and the current team for the kind gesture towards the Silver Lining
Presidents.
Rajasthan Cosmo Club founded in 1994 by 74 young, responsible, compassionate people
dedicated to the objective of fellowship, friendship and extending a helping hand to the less
fortunate members of the society. On the happy occasion of the celebration of Silver Jubilee
Year we recall the memory of Late Sri Sureshmal ji Dugar who was instrumental in forming
RCC. We Cosmonians thank him a lot for his valuable guidance and support towards us.
A special thanks to President Pavan Surana and Secretary Mahesh Agarwal for accepting
my idea of reprinting Cosmo Times released on Aug 15, 1997, with a record 48 pages on
the occasion of the Golden Jubilee of Indian Independence with Special Report on KALAKRI-
TI. The Cultural Extravaganza of RCC during the Presidentship of Rakesh Mohta, the then
Director Cultural was PP Abhaya Sri Srimal Jain and the Editor Cosmo Times was myself.

The idea behind circulating 1997-98 Cosmo Times was it would give all Young Cosmonians a glimpse of the vibrant
past history of our club. It was my privilege to sponsor the re-printing of this collector’s item. Hope you would have
collected copy which was kept in the help desk and enjoyed reading it.
A special thanks to our Charter President Lalith Mehtha for actively attending all programs in good spirit which motivates
all of us to follow. I also thank our Charter Vice-president Abhaya Sa for introducing me to this great club during
the year 1995-96. Mr Abhaya Sa and I were also Charter Members of the newly launched Rotary Club of Madras
Silver Beach in 1990-91 in which I am still a member. All of us keenly felt the absence of our Past President Gautham
Kariwal, the Godfather of RCC’s Cultural Event KALAKRITI and who handed over the mantle to me. It was he who
inspired me when I took over the Presidentship from him and assured me all his support. At this juncture, I request
all Young Cosmonians to once again rejuvenate our cultural program - KALAKRITI so that the hidden talent of each
member will manifest.
I also recall another Past President Rakesh and his wife Karuna Mohta who are evergreen Cosmonians and never
missed any RCC program. They always used to make others happy by participating and taking a lead in all programs.
We can’t forget Rakesh donning the role of Gabbar Singh straight out of the blockbuster “SHOLAY” during the Bollywood
Nite prog held in 1997. Since Rakesh and Mohta were in US for a holiday trip they couldn’t join us. A great
applause to Naresh, Mamta and their daughter Riddhi for re-living this moment with a remake of the same movie
“SHOLAY” in RCC’s style. It was really thrilling and exciting.

Great appreciation to our PP Naresh Jain for his wonderful AV presentation which
took us down memory lane of 25 years of RCC during the NOSTALGIA - 25 YEARS
OF CELEBRATION program. We trust this would have been a great eye-opener to
young Cosmonians in learning about the great tradition of RCC. During this program
from RCC Fou dation a set of new clothes were handed over to all members
to be distributed to poor and needy people. Surely the heart-felt blessings of the
poor people in gratitude will take our club to even greater heights. Thanks a lot
to Mr Vijay Kankaria - our RCCF Managing Trustee, Secretary Mr Anand Jain and
Chairman - New Clothes Scheme and entire RCCF team for giving us an opportunity
to serve the people on this happy occasion.
I also wish to point out that one of the main reasons that our club has risen to
dizzy heights is our flagship project – the RCC Cloth Bank – which has carried our
yeoman service to the poorest of the poor, given us a formidable image in the public
and provided us with immeasurable soul satisfaction. For this, we must thank
each member who has contributed in cash, kind and effort with special mention
of our members, Bharath Chordia, son of Shri Navarathanmal Chordia for their
major sponsorship of the New School Uniform project through their Khivraj Chordia
Foundation, and Jeetender Bhandari for his regular Sponsorship of the New
Clothes project in memory of his father Late Shri Dinesh Kumar Bhandari through
their P Javanthraj Bhandari & Sons Charitable Trust.
In the same vein, we need to feel proud of our annual brand event – Meena Bazaar
– the fund-raiser program for our RCC Foundation. A very special thanks to Sri
Suresh Gadhiya of Kesar Gift Mart Pvt Ltd for taking part in Meena for first 4 years
as main sponsor. With Suresh’s initial support RCC’s Meena Bazaar is the talk of
the town and its stalls are immediately booked in a big way and in demand today.
The proceeds of more than Rs 1 crore generated from Meena Bazaar exhibition by
the sale of stalls every year make our Foundation stronger to do more and more
Cloth Bank Projects. I am sure current Director and chairperson will do more wonders
in RCC’s prestigious Meena Bazaar.

I also want to mention RCC Foundation’s New School Uniform Project sponsor
Sri Badalchand & Smt Sayar Kanwar Chordia Trust continuously for more than 20
years from 1993 to 2015. We cherish the memory of such great philanthropists.
RCC will always be thankful to Sri Prasanchandji Chordia - Managing Trustee and
other Trustees for their moral support towards our RCC Foundation. I thank all the
Past Presidents and fellow Senators for their tireless service to make RCC a great
club. A special thanks to Sushil Sethia, who was Secretary during my Presidentship
and stood with me in all our club activities.
All of us owe thanks to Abhaysa for sponsoring the incremental cost of the Silver
Coins gifted to all the Cosmonians. Special thanks are also due to our Charter
President Lalith Sa for spontaneously agreeing to sponsor the advertisement in Rajasthan
Patrika Hindi newspaper.
And last but not the least, we record our appreciation for Cosmonian Manish Mardia
who was the MC of the event, did an excellent job in his inimitable style and
created a vibrant and fabulously lively environment in the Silver Jubilee celebrations.
We Senators greet the new team 2020-21 and wish them God speed in their new
assignment and assure them that we senators will always be with you in all your
endeavours.
Once again thanking all of you
Rajendiran M Chordia
Past President & Senator
