Diwali Delight at the Rotary Club, 15 October 2025

Lights that twinkled, hearts that shone,
Rotarians gathered, joy full-blown.
Families came in colors bright,
Filling the hall with festive light.

Games brought giggles, music swayed, Feet kept dancing, worries strayed.
Plates piled high with treats and cheer,
Toasts of friendship filled the air.

Laughter echoed, spirits soared,
Memories made, connections restored.
In warmth and love, we found our way—
A perfect touch to Diwali’s day!

Master of Ceremonies Ninad Patil enthralled the audience with his high octane dances and games!! Thanks to President Hemant Mondkar, First Lady Sharmila, PP Avinaash, PP Moha, and Rtn.

Our speaker meeting on 12th September 2025 at Regency Hotel was highly interactive and very well enjoyed by all who attended. Our own Rtn Jyoti Dadlani was the speaker and she gave very good insights into Self care for Leaders and how your mental health should be your top priority. She did some interesting psychometric tests with all participants to identify mental health status and suggested some self care methods to improve mental health. She also shared the roadmap to set oneself for success !! One interesting concept was “Body Budgeting” which we often neglect. Overall the session was highly insightful and had lots of self improvement tips for everyone. Each of us took away some action points for ourselves from the session.
