FOUR WAY TEST AREAS OF FOCUS Message from your
President
Of the things we think, say or do
* Is it the TRUTH?
* Is it FAIR to all concerned?
* Will it Build GOOD-WILL
&BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
*Will it be BENEFICIAL to all Dear fellow Rotarians and members of the family of Rotary.
While most of the discussions are mostly about precautions and updates
Concerned? of Corona, a significant number of users have now started noticing the maturity with
which India is handling this issue. What was till recently considered a third world
nation, is now quickly gaining respect & recognition at the world stage.
UPCOMING EVENTS NEXT WEEK Following FIVE points are a few examples which illustrate how our
Next Meeting: e-WEEKLY MEETING on 03 Apr @ 1930 hrs society is impressing the nation:
rd
1) Firstly, and most importantly, many are impressed with Indian Govt's
Topic : Power of Pranayam quick measures & proactive initiatives even at such initial stages. The reason for
Speaker : Dr. Sandip Dongre, Ph.D (yoga) this appreciation is that in all other countries, despite the rapid rise in cases, their

Highlights of the events last week respective govts. had been ignoring the issue, and some were even taking it casually.
Whereas India is one of the very few nations where Govt has jumped into action to
tackle at root level itself. This has impressed Indians as well as foreigners.

2) The strong measures like strict lockdown & police bandobast in India
is being appreciated by Europeans. The reason here is that Europe is usually a highly
democratic continent where emphasis is more on giving flexibility to people. So,
they find it a bit strange when they see news visuals of Indian police forcefully
chasing out violators from the streets during the curfew. In fact, Italians have been
highly impressed with scenes where Indian policemen have lathi charged violators,
because the Italians know the severity of this issue, and hence they feel such ruthless
strictness by Indian police is fully justified, and is in the best interest of larger public.

3) Many society members are impressed with the calmness of our people,
who are not resorting to crazy hoarding of essentials despite a nationwide lockdown.
However, in Maharashtra everything seems to be running smoothly without any
hoarding or shortages.

4) Almost everyone are impressed with the innovative methods used by
ts Last week Indians to follow social distancing. For example, the circles & boxes drawn using
rangoli powder to ensure decent distance between people in queues at groceries,
ATMs etc.

5) This is something which rest of the world is also beginning to notice
that we Indians are really united and our connectivity is remarkable which especially
Rotary desires in the current year and acknowledging the same though having unees
