FOUR WAY TEST

FROM EDITOR'S DESK

Yours in RotaryBabushankar

Rotarians with their families visited Thailand which

helped them to bring Rotary families closer to each

other. It is time for us to get ready for the

on 30th November, coinciding with club

anniversary. Rtn. Prabhudeva is continuing the good

work started in various avenues of service. Well done

President. Let us continue the work and maintain the

tempo.

You can reach me at srbabushankar@gmail.com with

your suggestions and comments to improve The Vista.

Governor's

Official Visit

When the trip for Bangkok and Pattaya was announced, I was over the

moon. Ask me why? Hearing stories about Bangkok being a shopper's

paradise and hearing Inner Wheel members talk about Bangkok in

animated excitement, the enthusiasm rubbed off on me as well. Of

course, I had to check out what my dear 'Google amma' suggested –

what to do, what to eat, what to shop….what not to do as well! Priding

myself on having enough info that could give a local Thai a run for his

money, I set out to pack. Oh wait, what should I be packing, isn't

Bangkok supposed to be a haven for shopping? Well, not the one to

take risks, I did pack some basic needs hoping to buy and wear

through the transit.

As the D-day finally arrived on October 9th, we sped tot the Bangalore

airport all excited. The gang of twenty eight was equally excited

though not all of them were first timers like us. We boarded the plane

with Dev, our local guide and landed at the Suvarnabhoomi Airport,

Bangkok before we could catch a few winks. Choe, a funny Thai guide

with a funny accent awaited us at the airport with his sister Joe. Being

a seasoned guide, he knew how to enthrall his guests and kept us

grinning all through the tour with his antics.

During our stay of 5 days , we visited Siracha Tiger Zoo, Nong Nooch (

Tropical Gardens), Coral Island, Siam Ocean World, Mini Siam, Safari

World, Marine Park, Wat Trimitr ( Golden Buddha Temple) and Indra

Mall.

All said and done, the trip offered a great opportunity to bond with the

fellow Rotarians and their families. President Prabhudeva ensured

that all of us had a good time. The in-house entertainers, Prathiba's

mother ensured spirituous mornings through her bhajans, Dr Girish

Navasundi family members ensured that we don't miss home-made

food through the snacks and chutni pudi, Rtn, Veeresh kept feeding

the hungry travelers with yummy snacks while Rtn. Ramnath kept

the adults and kids on toes through games. I would like to take this

opportunity to thank one and all for making this trip a memorable

experience.

SECOND - to SPEAK when it is PROPER time to be silent. SPEAK ONLY WHEN Necessary

Small minds talk about SALES, Average minds talk about BUSINESS, Great minds talk about GROWTH,

But ACHIEVERS never talk, they just perform & the WORLD TALKS ABOUT THEM.

The very strength of a nation eventually proves to be its weakness.
