Ankleshwar(Bharuch district) Gujarat: Sunil Nadkarni, a chemical engineer turned entrepreneur and philanthropist took over as the President of Ankleshwar Rotary Club 3060 for the Rotary year 2026-27 at the installation ceremony here on Sunday.


It may be recalled here that Sunil Nadkarni has been associated with the international service organisation for several decades, involving himself with a variety of projects.


Artificial limbs unit: Addressing the gathering after taking over as the new Ankleshwar Rotary Club President, Sunil Nadkarni listed out the projects and priorities for the new Rotary year, which, incidentally also happens to be the golden jubilee year of the Ankleshwar Rotary Club. He announced setting up of the long pending artificial limbs insertion unit with the help of Udaipur based social organisation, dedicated to the cause and growing a Miawaki Forest region.


Happiness lies in sharing the joy with others: HH Swami Suryadev ji, who graced the occasion hailed the services of Dr Deepa and Sunil Nadkarni couple. He also called upon the assembled Rotarians and their family members to adhere to the principle of working selflessly to ensure joy in others, to gain happiness in life.


Do service in your own interest: Major (Rtd) C S Anand, chief guest of the event enlightened the audience about the significance of indulging in pro-people activities, not with the illusion of doing service to the society, but in one's own and overall social well-being.


No need of hollow tall claims: In a hard hitting speech with enough doses of euphemism and sarcasm, all along, Major(Rtd) C S Anand pooh-poohed the tall and hollow claims being made in the guise of service to the society. On the other hand, he cajoled all such claimants of doing so with selfish motives, by and large!


Call to be humble: He also lamented at the fast changing societal scenario, wherein the younger generation boasts of self upmanship attitude of arrogance. He emphasized the need of being grounded and remaining humble in their own interests.


Nilesh Shah, District Governor-3060, Sunish Nair, Sharad Shah, J N Sukanandan, Mohmmad Jadilwala, new office bearers spoke about their plans for the golden jubilee year.

When Punjab Chief Minister's Son Was Paraded On Underwear

Year, 1959, Place Amritsar. Some Indian Army Officers & their wives went to the Railway Station to see off one of their colleagues. Some goons made lewd remarks against the women & tried to molest them. The Army Officers chased the goons who took shelter in a nearby Cinema Theatre. The matter was reported to Commanding Officer Col Jyothi Mohan Sen. On learning about the incident, the Col ordered the Cinema Hall to be surrounded by troops. All the goons were dragged out, the leader of the goons was so heady and drunk with power; he was none other than the son of Chief Minister of Punjab, Pratap Singh Kairon, a close associate of the then PM, Jawahar Lal Nehru. All the goons were stripped to their underwear, paraded in the streets of Amritsar & later interned in the Cantonment. The next day, the Chief Minister became furious & tried to release his son from Indian Army's incarceration. Do you know what happened? His vehicle was not allowed to go into the Cantonment a...

Basavanna: Equality, Humanity and Human Rights

Bengaluru: Akshaya Trutiya is the birthday of Lord Basaveshwara or Basavanna, the 12th-century revolutionary poet and religious reformer who rebelled against all blind beliefs, practices and rituals of Hinduism. It also goes to his credit of bringing God to one’s palms while simultaneously and vehemently opposing the tradition of visiting temples and places of pilgrimages in search of the almighty. Interestingly, unfortunately, or sadly what his followers or disciples have been doing all along would be another separate topic for discussion and better to forget for the time being. A Hindu Protestant: Dr Godwin Shiri, former Director of Christian Institute For The Study Of Religion And Society (CISRS), Bengaluru, during an informal interaction, opined-“Basavanna can be aptly described as a Hindu Protestant as he was in the forefront of opposing blind beliefs”. Influenced by Buddha: Mallikarjun G Kelagade, former Director of the Department of Information and Public Relations (DIPR) kee...

Dharwad's Arya Durga, Rukmini and Saraswati...: From Nothing to Crores and Crores...

Bengaluru: Arya Durga Kirani Stores, with Rukmini and Saraswati outlets, are household names for all those residing in and natives of Dharwad. It was a humble and austere beginning, dating back a few decades, thanks to hard work, sincerity, and trustworthy behaviour with customers, the business flourished and grew in leaps and bounds in an unimaginable proportion. Started working at the age of eight years! The owner, late Gajanan Vitthal Shetti, was primarily from Ankola in the North Canara (Karwar) district. Ankola, a coastal town, is renowned for its Salt Satyagraha during the freedom struggle movement. The financial condition of Shetti's family was too critical, making it too difficult to meet even the basic demands of day-to-day life. He began working at a ration shop while he was only eight years of age and continued working until he became 15 years old. Mahalakshmi Hotel boomerangs: Then Gajanan Vitthal Shetti came to Hubballi to do business. He came with his father, Vitth...
