Dear Friends,
At the outset Congratulations to Mrs. Uma Vivek and her team
for all the good work done. She has successfully completed
projects under all headings recommended by International
Inner Wheel. 'We for Women' is a great theme and so is 'Light
the Path'. There are 2 ways of spreading light; to be the candle or
the mirror that reflects it; says Edith Wharton. Friends , all of you
with me I look forward to being the candle and the mirror.
Together let us light the path for as many as we possibly can.

3. Grandpa was celebrating his 100th birthday and
everybody complimented him on how athletic and well-
preserved he appeared.
Gentlemen, I will tell you the secret of my
success, he cackled. I have been in the open air day
after day for some 75 years now. The celebrants were
impressed and asked how he managed to keep up his
rigorous tness regime.
Well, you see my wife and I were married 75
years ago. On our wedding night, we made a solemn
pledge. Whenever we had a ght, the one who was
proved wrong would go outside and take a walk.

4. Dear Friends,
With an utmost sanctity, solidarity and
whole-hearted gratitude, I, hereby, accept the

members for having reposed their faith and
confidence in me for having endowed me with this
magnificent opportunity to serve this organization.
You all are my support and strength and I assure you
that I will, with God's grace do the best in rendering
my duties responsibilities and spread a message
of peace in today's world order.
My theme for the year 2014 – 2015 is Light The
Path
My foremost goal, with absolute commitment and
involvement, will be to Promote Friendship,

International Understanding. My path shall be the
path of service, love and friendship.
And with my deepest conviction, I give a call for

15 “Light the Path”.
When the Path is lit, our eyes have a clarity of vision,
our minds are ignited, our hearts aglow with love, our
souls filled with sanctity, our hands laden with noble
goals and higher pursuits.
As we embark on our Inner Wheel journey, standing
on the threshold of another Inner Wheel year, we
look around and find ourselves surrounded by
darkness of distress, anguish, violence and hatred.
As we step on this journey, we imbibe the glow of
Inner Wheel to eradicate this by “Lighting the Path”.
The glow comes from within ourselves. Let us
search within ourselves and discover this glow of
compassion, concern, determination and
dedication.
Let this beautiful glow lead us to those who need our
help and compassion. Reach out to them before it is
too late. Let us be the torch bearers of this light of
Service. Enjoy the splendid glow. Dear Friends by

order

The new team started their year with a ‘Blood Donation Camp’
where the members donated blood for the surgery of poor and
needychildren.
On Environment Day a poor
farmer received varieties of plants
and saplings to earn his
livelihood.
Doctors’ Day at IW Midtown was celebrated
by honouring our in-house doctor
Dr.GayathriGubbi.
Children of Ashadayaka Seva Trust, home
and rehabilitation center for street children
were served meals on Annapoorna Day.
During my second month of nursing school, our
professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student
and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last
one:Whatisthefirst nameofthewoman
who cleanstheschool?”
Surely, this was some kind of joke. I had seen the
cleaning woman several times. She was tall, dark–haired and
in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my
paper, leaving the last question blank. Just before class ended,
one student asked if the last question would count toward our
quizgrade.
Absolutely, said the professor. In your careers, you
will meet many people.All are significant. They deserve your
attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say 'hello'.
I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was
Dorothy.
Moral: Every person no matter who it is should be considered
equal… something that we all forget so easily. To value a
personregardlessoftheirstatusisthehighestnoblework.
You were meant for greatness
You are stronger, smarter, and more
resilient than you think. You are
capable of achieving far more than
you believe. You were meant for
greatness-like all of those who have
achieved it. But it takes persistence.
It takes determination. It takes facing
your fears and doing that which is
hard and necessary, instead of what
is quick and easy. It takes skipping
the mythical shortcuts using your
imagination as a map and preview of
life’s coming attractions.
