If we could consider each other

A neighbour, a friend or a brother

It would be a wonderful world

It would be a wonderful world (CHORUS)

If each little kid had fresh milk each day

If each old soul had some place to stay

If each working man had enough time to play

It would be a wonderful world . . . (CHORUS)

If there were no poor and the rich were content

If strangers were welcome wherever they went

If each of us knew what true brotherhood meant


If people all over would trust one another

Not thinking about their race or their colour

If they did agree to join hands altogether


If Tablers of India (fellowmen of WOCO) can properly plan

To do for their country whatever they can

If FELLOWSHIP brings about SERVICE to man


Oh Boy! It would be a wonderful world.

Greetings and Best Wishes to you!

It is said that time flies when we are having a good time. How

true!It has indeed been a fantastic "Golden Year"for Round

Table India and I believe that YOU made it possible.

True to our motto of "Service Through Fellowship", Tabling

does give us many chances to enjoy its Fellowship, enrich

our experience via the various opportunities that come our

way and at the same time, an opportunity to give back to the

Society.

It is the participation and involvement of Tables across the

country that makes Round Table India what it is! It has been

fantastic to see the participation of all Tables &Families of

VRT77in all facets of Tabling. You have beautifully touched

every facet of Tabling. Not just at the Table level, you have

been active on the Area and National fronts too.Compliments

to each one of you for the same!

Chairman Ameet, you rocked through the year. I strongly

believe that the Table Chairman is the most important person

in Round Table India. Well done as the Chairman and leading

the Table well through the year. Wishing you the very best for

the future, especially as you take charge as the National

Fellowship Convenor and the other… you getting Wedlock!!

Secretary Sandeep… Extremely well

done through the year. It seems that VRT 77 is getting into a

habit of creating fantastic Secretaries. The reports, Minutes

etc were absolutely bang before time and this has kept the

Area and National Boards updated on all the happenings at

the Table. Good job Sandeep, wishing you the very best in all

your endeavors!

It was fantastic having Tr. Deepak Menda and Doc Raghu on

the Golden Board of RT India. Both are true gems and an

asset to RT India. Buddies, thanks for all your contributions

to Tabling… Wishing Deepak a great year as the NST of RT

India and Raghu as the Chairman of a vibrant VRT 77.

I wish the incoming Chairman Tr. Doc Raghu a wonderful

year ahead. Am sure he and his team will do their best in tak-

ing the Kings of Fellowship, VRT 77 and RT India to greater

heights!

Enjoy Tabling friends… we have time only till we turn 40!

Message from... Tr. Ashwinni Kumar HemdevNational President, Round Table India (2011-2012)

Chairman Tr. Ameet, Secretary Tr. Sandeep and Fellow Tablers of VRT 77


Tr.Ameet Mirpuri,Chairman, Vizag Round Table 77

Whatever you may do in life and in tabling, it is ultimately theintent that counts! If your intent is good and to do good thenthere is nothing that will come in your way that can be calledan obstacle! These are called learning phases... Lessons!

This year, we've started out and ended with only an intent to

do good! And I believe that we have done just that... it's been

a great learning this year as Chairman of Vizag Round Table

77! We as a team at the head table didn't carry on our heads

the fact that we had to live up to our long list of accom-

plished lineage, we didn't go after the fact that we had to

keep our table's head high.. We didn't work towards keeping

the reputation that 77 has built for itself over the years intact!

We just went out there with a good intent and had fun!!!

And then... All of these mentioned.. Just happened on theirown!!!

Many plans were made before we started and many plans

were changed while we were on this journey of 2011-2012!

Eager beavers that we were, we made sure we struck a bal-

ance between all the facets, we didn't want to do too much

nor too little... And now when we look back at the year gone

by... We are happy!!!

Happy to have been able to hold up the

flag of Round Table India to everyone we

met and tell them what we do...

Happy to have held up the respect of our

41ers and made sure they come up to us

and proudly pat our backs...

Happy to have our tablers, ladies and twinklers turn the page

back and say.. What a fun and meaningful year that was...

Happy to see the smiles on the faces of ALL the special chil-

dren who's lives we touched this year!!!

The annual report is something we will treasure forever

because it reminds us of the good times had and becomes

a memory that we will carry with us always!

Is it the boombastic fellowship, is it our recently acquired first

ever international award - the Asia pacific award for best fel-

lowship table, is it the informative and innovative HRD, is it

the mind boggling publicity or is it the true to the heart serv-

ice to the under privileged we did this year.. We don't know..

Thats all just reports.. Like I said..

And for the tenth time this year I'll say it again... If it's not fun...

It's just not tabling!!!

Tr. Siddharth KaranChairman, Area 9, Round Table India

Dear Chairman Ameet , Secretary Sandeep Chitra and

friends of VRT 77. Congrats on your AGM and a successful

year gone by.

It was indeed a pleasure being your area chairman this year

. I shall always cherish the phenomenal support of the VRT

family that I received during my tenure.

It was an honor to have walked amongst stalwarts like Hari

anna, Anand, Sisir and Deepak and to have enjoyed their

unstinted support . Thank you gentlemen !

Friends , VRT 77 has yet again proven itself as one the most

vibrant tables of Area 9 and true to its character - THE fel-

lowship table .

Under the table leadership of chairman Ameet, the table has

successfully inaugurated the Vasantha Bala school - con-

grats !

I have had the pleasure of having 3 tablers of 77 in my board

in addition to the rocking chairman -( 2 on the head board

itself ) Tr Deepak - our IPC ( and now the big man NST ) and

Tr Doc Raghu - the fantastic AST and Tr Sandy Chow - our

extension convener.

Deepak our IPC has been a solid support through the year -

a true friend . Your unanimous win for the post of NST is tes-

timony to your leadership skills . Now , with him at the core

team of WAH INDIA - we look forward to yet another unfor-

gettable event . . Here's wishing you even greater success

!!

Raghu - the AST - doc you were the finest we ever had . Truly,

the backbone of the area .Not only were you a great AST but

have set very high standards as the National Go Green

Convener ! Kudos !!

Sandy - you were right when you said "

The Strength of Area 9 is ……Very Strong

" Brilliant show buddy !

Anand and Sisir - it was an honor to have you as the Jewel

and AHT this year . I shall always be grateful for the unbiased

advice and support that I received from you guys.

77 has yet again proven to the fellowship kings of the Area -

a plethora of fellowships throughout the year each one

unique and fun filled . Little surprise that Chairman Ameet is

now the National Fellowship Convener . Looking forward to

yet another fun filled year .

The highlight of the year was ,of course , the Project Smile -

which has bought the area and the RTI great pride and

stature . Congrats for a fantastic job !

Gentlemen - you have done it all !!........ A brilliant year !!

Looking forward to seeing you all ( in good numbers ) at the

Area AGM in Hyderabad.

The RTInt AGM " Wah India " - the biggest event of the move-

ment is happening in our area . It gives us a superb oppor-

tunity to interact with international tablers in our own back-

yard - an opportunity which we will not get again in the fore-

seeable future . Urge you all to register in good numbers and

make it a huge success .

Here's wishing the incoming chairman , the big man himself

- Doc Raghu ,all the best - in whose capable and experi-

enced hands , am sure , the table will reach even greater

heights.

Cheers and God Bless!!

ADDRESS BY THE OUTGOING CHAIRMAN :

Tr.Dharmaraju Cheruku

This has been a fantastic year. The reason was mainly because of the choice of the Conveners. The have been the best.

All the facets were well covered. Right from HRD, Community Service, Supply house, greeting cards, not to forget the

Fellowship. After a span of 5 years, we have done a fabulous project. The whole VRT-77 Family enjoyed the Inauguration

of Paderu School Project.

This year Publicity was tremendous. Most of the events were double or triple faceted. Parent's Day and Marikvalsah School

Painting were closest to my heart. Because it involved the Ladies and Kids. Everyone had a great time.

The Icing of the cake was the Extension. This year we did the Charter of VVRT and Inauguration of VKRT. I can proudly say

that I am the only Chairman in the whole of RTI to do two in a year. Some might think that I am selfish to exhaust the bal-

ances in the Admin and Community Service. But I strongly believe that not spending the same and keeping it in the bank

will not make it grow. We need to spend it and again create it.

I wish Tr. Ameet a Great Year ahead and just want to tell him that I am available 24 x 7. This year will also be my last year

in Tabling and I want to cherish it for life.

INVESTITURE OF THE JEWEL:

LMF Tr.Kiran invested the jewel on Tr.Ameet Mirpuri to be the new Chairman of Vizag Round Table 77 for the Year 2011-

2012.

Vote of ThanksTr.Sandeep Chitra




As I start addressing the Tabling fraternity before I lay down my jewel as the Secretary of VRT

77, the first thought that crosses my mind is that In Sailor’s talk... I'd call it 'smooth sailing'...

I've received unconditional support from every Tabler at 77 and great encouragement from

every member of the wonderful National and Area Board ! Tablers across the country whom

I don't even know have reached out to me, to us after reading our Meeting Minutes.

Thanks to all the Conveners who did an awesome job this year which made my work look

worthwhile. Every event pertaining to a particular facet was planned & executed in such a very organised way, all I had to

do was just put it together and keep minuting them. I believe that it is truly my luck to have a Chairman like Ameet who was

my mentor & guide throughout the year in helping me do my job. The table made a remarkable track record in all the facets

this year. I would like to personally congratulate Chairman Ameet for his excellent leadership skills and taking the Table for-

ward in all facets with a dedicated spirit of team-work and motivation.

It was a year power packed with a battery of events which were not only meaningful but fun filled also.

Someone (my buddy robert ;) Haha) said ' I've got miles to go before I sleep...' he was so right. On a serious note, as I start-

ed penning down my Annual report I was filled with a mixed bag of emotions as it was truly an honour to be serving as the

Secretary of VRT-77, a pride I shall carry to my grave. I always treated the Secretaryship as a position of responsibility not

as a power. And I proudly hold my head and say that the interest of my Table was never compromised upon even once, on

any occasion. During this year I have discovered abilities within me which I could never imagine and which helped me in

developing my writing skills. These are a quite euphoric moments which I would cherish forever.

I wish Good Luck to the Incoming Team and am sure they will keep the 77 flag flying higher & higher.

Administration at VRT-77

During this year all practices have been carried out as per the guidelines laid out in the blue book of RTI.

Meetings:

On the Administration front, regular meetings have been held. A total of 24 meetings were held in this year. We had 1 joint

meeting this year one with VVRT-213 on the occasion of SEVEN, Area 9 AGM. Notices for the meetings were given well in

advance and they usually started on time. The stipulated quorum for the meetings was strictly adhered to.

Attendance:

Attendance in the year was satisfactory as far as the meetings were concerned, with an average attendance of 81% and 5

tablers had an attendance of 100% without credits and 11 tablers had a 100% attendance with credits.

We had good attendance of tablers in meetings of other tables also.

Communication with the NEX and AEX:

Communication channels with the NEX and AEX have been maintained on a regular basis, all the minutes of the meetings

were sent within 24 hours after the conclusion of the meetings. All the Communications being received from the NEX, AEX

and other tables were sent to the tablers via the email on a regular basis.

Minutes were sent across the NEX, AEX, all the Area Chairmen and all the Secretaries in India.

All the Convener reports were sent on a monthly basis to the concerned National, Area Conveners & Table Secretaries all

over the Country.

I sincerely thank the Chairman and my fellow Tablers for their wonderful support throughout the year.

bers as well as the National board. Tablers from Area 9 with

their Ladies joined the party at Dusk, Palm Beach. The Hosts

planned the Social in an excellent way. First all the Tablers

were partying at the Coconut Groove (Outdoors) where the

climate was just pleasant. Later the Party moved inside the

Dusk. Dusk has one of the best ambiance for a party at

Visakhapatnam and anyone can take a guess as to who

designed it. The theme was "Sexy Santa" with Salsa. There

was an Area level HR on how to do Salsa on 23rd Dec at

Add life Gym where a Professional Trainer taught the Ladies

and Tablers how to shake their booty. At the Social, the

Hosts with the Ladies gave a live performance on

"KOLAVARI" and "Oh Lala Oh Lala". The whole atmosphere

was in high spirits (literally too).

Ameet played the Banta (Not Santa). He made the ladies

play some games in which they had to be blind folded and

had to use mouth to blow and hold. The area was very cor-

nered by the ladies so we guys did not get to see exactly

what was happening. Moreover with booze around most the

guys were hardly bothered.

This was a Sequel as the same themed National Level Social

was done by VRT 77 2 years ago.

24th Dec. : Santa Claus is coming home - Tr. Rajesh

having a blast along with the Vikings to bring in the new year

2012!!!

33rrdd JJaann 22001122:: The First Fellowship of 2012 had to be big. So

was it. It was at the beach side, The Park. It was a simple

fun talking, gossiping and pulling each other's legs.

6th Jan 2012: NEX @ Chennai

Guess what was the room number allotted to Sq Leg Hari

Anna and Tr Sandeep Choudhari - Room No 77. This room

had become the Haven for the Tablers of Visakhapatnam as

all the Booze, Snacks and Gadgets(Speakers & Music),

Cards, etc were stacked here.

Frankly speaking NEX was only to get credits. First we all had

a Aromatic Massage at the Spa. Then came the Pool. What a

Fellowship - Infinity pool overlooking the Bay of Bengal , beer

and Sun. The only thing out of proportion to this beautiful setup

was 5 Hairy Chest, Overweighed Tablers inside the pool.

The Lunch - Moonrackers. THE BEST SEA FOOD in CHEN-

NAI. We Cycled our way to this place. The food was inverse-

ly proportionate to the place. Yummy food and people were

polishing the plates. The food served was amazing….


The Evening Party was the psychedelic theme. We all wore

our Equalizer T-shirts from the last AAGM. Most of the peo-

ple did not bring the batteries. The TV Remotes in the

Rooms came to rescue. The Party was at a Farm House and

DJ Iawin was playing the Trance and we all were grooving

and grinding to it.

7th Jan 2012: NAGM - Day 1

This was a long day. Fellowship with the Tablers across the

Nation was a lifetime experience. Then came in the Awards

and Recognitions. 1st - Special Appreciation of Outstanding

Achievement for our First Smile Project. Then came in the

COM for Fellowships. And then the BIG One - BEST TABLE

MAGAZINE AWARD - Our Pearl turned out to be the Mother

of all Pearls. Then came the Award for Extension.

The Evening Party was on Beach. We were all dressed in

White Shirts painted with Pink and Shorts. We all were look-

ing outstanding and highlighted. With the Spirits high and

music loud, we rocked hard and even more harder. We were

all over the place - on the stage, off the stage, in the centre,

in the corner - but wherever we went there were people to

2Karasa... Chairman Ameet gave an awesome speech in

Telugu. The Principal of Timpany School spoke that it was an

Honour to have their Ex-student Tr.Ameet for their I'day

Celebrations. He also received the Guard of Honour from

Special thanks to Sukku for helping in getting the bags and

Sangeetha in bringing the bags to the School and Deepak in

It was a nice experience for all of us at Karasa, Marikvalsa

and Theosophical Society School,

Total tune of I’day expenses was Rs. 43,000/-

3rd Sept :

Though so many of us might think what is this donating

Slippers....

Just imagine the plight of small kids bare foot who are not

even 8years coming to school with lots of school books on

their backs and crossing all the dirt and stones.

This really moved our lovely lady Reena when we were dis-

tributing school bags on the I. day. First thing what she did

was called the Chairman and explained him about the kids.

Without hesitation Chairman said we have been giving lots

of books, bags, dresses and what not to kids so why can't

we give them good foot wear. We distributed 125 pairs to all

the little ones of the Karasa School. The Smile we see in the

kids wearing the foot wear and running here and there is

worth all the effort.

RTI WEEK 2011-12 @ VIZAG ROUND TABLE 77

This year the theme for the RTI week at Vizag Round Table

77 was "COLOURS OF LIFE". We had started off the RTI

week with each colour of the rainbow observed on one day

and do things which that colour signifies.

Colour is a powerful and important communication tool, and

it is tied to religious, cultural, political and social influences.

By stopping to consider what each colour represents and is

linked to in the 'real world' we can design decisions that

ensure we appeal to our target audience.

Each and every facet of tabling was covered in these seven

days, fellowship and community service as the forerunners,

we had our share of publicity, HRD/ LAPD, twinklers activi-

ties, activities for the 41ers, Go green etc. Even before the

Round Table77VIZAG

RTI week took off, we had huge publicity in the form of press

releases in more than 10 newspapers about the plans for the

RTI week.

With almost 3.25 lakh of rupees spent during this RTI week

on various community service activities and most important-

ly the time spent by each and every tabler and lady, it had

been a gratifying experience to all of us at VRT:77. In the

course of this one week, 25 cleft lip and palate surgeries

were performed on underprivileged kids under the banner of

our pet project FIRST SMILE. Other major community serv-

ices included donation of group HAS machine along with

wheel chairs and walking aids at the RCD hospital, installa-

tion of the water purifying system at the Missionaries of char-

ity and donating Braille slates at the Madhurawada blind

school.

We distributed 125 pairs to all the little ones of the Karasa

School. The Smile we see in the kids wearing the foot wear

and running here and there is worth all the effort.

10th Oct:

VRT 77 found a donor for an amount of Rs.50,000 as the

tablers of VKRT 225 came up with a proposal to help

towards the surgery for the hip replacement of a lady who

had met with a major accident. This is routed through VKRT-

225.

12th Oct : Bone density check up camp

Osteoporosis is a "Silent killer" in medical parlance.

Almost one in three urban Indian women past the age of 45

have osteoporosis, a disease that makes bones fragile and

fracture-prone.

It was our endeavor at Vizag Round Table 77 and Vizag

Knights Round Table 225 to create an awareness amongst

the public, especially the urban poor population and help

them tackle and prevent this grave danger, both the tables

together conducted a free bone density check up camp on

the 11th of October at the GITAM university health center

which caters to the urban and sub-urban poor population as

a part of our community services initiative.

A total of 134 needy patients were covered in this camp out

of which 96 people needed active intervention and immedi-

ate orthopaedic intervention. They were all given free con-

sultation and a month's supply of medication. They were all

given free dietary and medical advice.

It was a wonderful experience as we donated a commercial

gas stove to the sunflower specially abled children's school

in Madhurwada. Thank you Tr.Shrawan and Reena for con-

tributing towards it along with Tr.Ameet !

Sukreeta and Tr.Deepak hosted lunch for the St Joseph's old

age home on the occassion of Sukreeta's birthday and Tr.

Sunflower School, we had successfully completed one more

service at Sunflower school. We've donated 3 cots worth

Rs.8,000 to the school.

School for mentally challenged kids in Srikakulam. The

77 grow in their own way. 77ers have also seen to that we've

the HRD events not just for the tablers, but also for the ladies

and twinklers of the table.

It was an opportunity to have handled the LAPD

Convenorship of the table this year. This year to the concen-

tration was on the quality and variety of the knowledge that

could be shared with the 77ers.

I would like to thank Chairman Ameet for having believed that

I could handle the LAPD facet in the table. I would also like to

thank the 77 family for believing in the concept of HRD and

coming forward supportively. I would also like to thank

Secretary Sandeep Chitra for having seen to that the Reports

reached the concern convenors on time. Last but not the

least, would like to thank the external speakers who came for-

ward to conduct the events for us.

lowed by a dinner with the who's who of Mumbai, a very

select event where I got to converse with a lot of the foreign

A few words from... Tr. Kiran CherukuIPC/IRO/Projects Convenor, Vizag Round Table 77

Its almost been 11 years in Tabling and it has become a part and

parcel of my life.

I joined when Vizag Round Table 77 was in the beginning of its

second phase , I was not in the total 14 inductions which hap-

pened in that year, I was the immediate next guy. It was com-

pletely a new beginning and none of us knew each other.

Gradually, we begun to know each other and then eventually

finding out what is Tabling. The bonding took us more than a

year, It took us atleast 3 years to know what is what in Tabling.

Satte Pe Satta AGM made us a close knit bunch. From then

onwards there was no looking back.

Today, I feel proud and happy to say Vizag Round Table 77 is one

of the most happening Table through out RTI. I feel proud to say

that I was one of the member who contributed my blood and

soul for the development of VRT 77. But, whatever name I have

achieved today in the Society, its because of Vizag Round Table

77. It's a dream come true for all of us to see VRT 77 in this posi-

tion and hope to see this will grow bigger and brighter in the

coming years.

My eleven years in Tabling went by so fast….I still remember the

day I was bombarded by the Sergeant on my induction and by

default the tradition continued by the rest of the guys…..

I had a lot of arguments with many of my Tablers in my Tabling

career, but each and every argument brought us closer. We all

knew that whatever argument we had, was only an issue based.

Trust me, these guys have become my life now. Past 11 years,

my life was just revolving around Tabling and Tablers and it

would continue till my last breath, maybe not as a Tabler but as

a Friend for Life. That's the beauty that Tabling has given me. To

be Honest I got more out of Tabling

than what I did for Tabling.

Yes there were some tense moments

as well as some hilarious ones in my

Tabling life. The most hilarious and

tense moment (irony being both

being the same). Our train journey

from Mumbai to Pune when we went

to the National AGM held at Mumbai in 2006. I will never forget

the help done by my Tablers. These guys have become my

strength and weakness too.

The best years were when I took up the Chairmanship in 2009

and again in 2011. It was a boon for me. It's an Honour very

rarely a Tabler gets and that too becoming a Chairman of the

most happening table of RTI. As the Chairman I enjoyed learn-

ing the tricks of the trade and in the second year it was my good

luck that I was able to locate the right guys for the right

job…..The second year was a cake walk for me, the Table hav-

ing won the maximum awards in the Area and a whooping 7

Awards in the National AGM at Chennai. I really felt I justified my

duty.

These 11 years have taught me so many good things in life,

Today I feel happy and proud that I too did my bit for a good

cause.

I thank my wife Manjeera for encouraging me to join in this

Tabling movement and also supporting me all these wonderful

years….especially the two years when I took up the

Chairmanship.
