stFebruary started with a Spouses Day meeting as always at the Trident Hotel on 1 February. Mr. Dinesh Somani was our Chief Guestand Speaker for the day. His topic was: Commodities - The Gateway to Success! Educating the audience about trading in commodities,he informed the audience that spices are always in great demand with a limited supply. Therefore a shortage of supply from any one ofthe top supplying nations, disrupts the entire value chain and competing supplier nations benefit from the shortfall in supply.

Our guest was ably introduced by Rtn. Farooq Valiulla. The meeting was concluded with Rtn Nirupama Khandke proposing a graciousvote of thanks.

Another Spouses Day meeting followed at the Trident Hotel onth

8 February. Our Chief Guest & Speaker, Mrs. Geeta Shahspoke on a surprising topic- 'Surprise your spouse'.

She related that people go through marriages as a matter ofroutine. Whenever something goes wrong there is a tendency toblame the other party. Instead of playing such blame-games,she asserted that couples need to accept their partners for whatthey are, for a stable and happy marriage also they each need tointroduce some surprise element to add interesting spark toone's marriage. The audience was most entertained and

delighted with her provoking ideas.

Our Chief Guest was introduced by Rtn. Dr. Ashok Patel. RtnNikhil Malik proposed the vote of thanks, concluding themeeting.

Once again was a Spouses day meeting was held at theTrident Hotel on the 22nd of February. Mr. Vikram Hazraof Art of Living was our Chief Guest & Speaker.
