FRom the PReSiDeNt'S DeSkDear Friends,I hope you are all free from taking care of your old currency .

Our country is going through Historic changes , let's hope we all come out winning from it .

Of course there have been endless opinions on the matter and this not the place to voice mine . All I will say is that the event has happened and maybe more will happen , we have no cotrol on the events themselves but we must try and minimise the impact on the distruption on ourselves and our families .

We have decided to get a knowledgeable speaker on the subject , Mr. Laveesh Bhandari . on the 8th of Dec , you all must attend the meeting to clear your doubts and to learn how to manage better in the New India .

Look forward to see you all .

Warm Regards

Rtn. Atul Raheja President 2016-17

Shikha PathshalaThe fifth community service project was organised Saturday, 5th November 2016 at Shikha Pathshala. Here basic education is provided to poor underprivileged children from the slums & vocational education to ladies Run by our own R'nn Kamlesh Chaudhry it is a remarkable effort to make a small difference in the lives of these children who have no access to any form of formal education. 14 Southenders were given a warm welcome by the children of Shikha Pathshala who had specially prepared a spectacular song and dance programme for us. Their excitement and enthusiasm was worth every minute of the time spent there. Many of the children have achieved great heights and got good jobs inspite of their tough circumstances.

Besides the 1 lakh donation by the Club the group members privately collected Rs 75000 to support :-

1. White-wash of the Institution2. Making one toilet 3. Mats4. Notebooks and stationary5. 4 Computers6. 4 Printer7. 4 UPS8. Table and chairs

The morning was followed by fellowship and bonding over chaat and snacks at Bikanerwala.

What is spiritual maturity?Spiritual Maturity is

when you stop trying to change others, ...instead focus on changing yourself.

Spiritual Maturity is when you accept people as they are.

Spiritual Maturity is when you understand everyone is right in their own perspective.

Spiritual Maturity is when you learn to "let go".

Spiritual Maturity is when you are able to drop "expectations" from a relationship and

give for the sake of giving.

Spiritual Maturity is when you understand whatever you do, you do for your own peace.

Spiritual Maturity is when you stop proving to the world, how intelligent you are.

Spiritual Maturity is when you don't seek approval from others.

Spiritual Maturity is when you stop comparing with others.

Spiritual Maturity is when you are at peace with yourself.

Spiritual Maturity is when you are able to differentiate between "need" and "want"

and are able to let go of your wants.

& last but most meaningful !

You gain Spiritual Maturity when you stop attaching "happiness" to material things !!
