We at Rotary never fail to recognize the best teachers of our society. As Rotary Midtown has its HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY !!!own educational institution “Rotary Midtown

Mr. M.Prakash is an ideal teacher who is inspired by Swami Vivekananda. 20 years ago he started his school Vivekananda Educational Institution under a small banyan tree. Today it is a full-fledged institution with 3000 students and provides employment to around 150 people. He is an exception to the statement “The young are irresponsible and leave

villages, looking for greener pastures in cities”. While he could have taken up a good job and settled in

Mysore, he chose going back to his home town Bannur, to set up an educational institution. Today, children from all

over the state seek admissions to this school. Even children from Mysore are enrolling at this school which by itself speaks about its reputation.

Mr. Prakash maintains simplicity and honesty in all his deeds. He says that he will make a good citizen out of any child enrolled to this school. Children should not grow up on a bed of roses but must realize the hardships to life. Following this idea,l all students and teachers of this institution sleep only on straw mats and wake up at 4:30 in the morning to start their day. Mr. Prakash is a role model to all of them who follows these rules. It is rare to see such a simple, humble, modest and honest teacher. It is an honour to have such a teacher amongst us on this “Teachers' Day”.We welcome you 'Sir'.

Today’s tea hosted byRtn. arun shenoy

Below are four (4) questions and a bonus question.You have to answer them instantly. You can't take your time, answer all of them immediately. OK?Let's find out just how clever you really are.... Ready? GO!!!

First Question: You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?

Answer: If you answered that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person, you take his place, so you are second!

Try not to screw up next time. Now answer the second question, but don't take as much time as you took for the first one, OK?

Second Question: If you overtake the last person, then you are...?

Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST person?

You're not very good at this, are you?

Third Question: Very tricky arithmetic! Note: This must be done in your head only .Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it. Take 1000 and add 40 to it. Now add another 1000. Now add 30.Add another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000Now add 10. What is the total?...... Did you get 5000? The correct answer is actually 4100. If you don’t believe it, check it with a calculator!

Today is definitely not your day, is it? Maybe you'll get the last question right.......Maybe.

Fourth Question: Mary’s father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter? ……

Did you Answer Nunu? NO! Of course it isn't. Her name is Mary.

Read the question again! Okay,

Now the bonus round: A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing his teeth he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done. Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair of sunglasses; how does HE indicate what he wants?

He just has to open his mouth and ask...It's really very simple.... Like you!

Test for Dementia

My school days are still fresh in my mind. I am very good at miming and imitating. On Teachers’ Day I used to imitate all my teachers and they used to be amazed because it was like they were looking at themselves in the mirror. Now the skill has worn off and I can’t do it to perfection unless somebody treats me to fellowship and make the inner devil in me wake up. My teachers have been a great influence on me and even today I consider my friends as teachers in my day to day life as I am learning a lot of things from them. Still more to learn. Bye

Cheers!!!

he war of words has already begun on facebook even before the actual gang war with fire. Yes, Rotary Midtown is all set to break its own fellowship record of 'Masthalli' with “Men's Cooking Day out”. 16th TSeptember is the D-Day for all the men folk who are going to try their

hands at what their wives have been doing all these years. They are going to cook to compete against each other while Anns and Annets get a chance to play the critic for a change.

Teams have already been formed and the preliminary works have begun for the jolly day. Be there to cheer for your favourite team.

Papa Cooking !Don’t worry, Mama will fix it.

ROTARY INFORMATION

Perseverance and dedication are qualities that both Paralympic athletes and Rotarians use to reach their goals.To highlight this common bond, British Rotarians used the excitement surrounding the opening day of the 2012 Paralympic Games on 30 August to rally government dignitaries from the United Kingdom and Pakistan to raise funds for Paralympic athletes and Rotary’s PolioPlus program.“We wanted to celebrate the achievements of these amazing athletes and Rotary’s hard work towards polio eradication,” says Judith A. Diment, PolioPlus national advocacy adviser for the UK and a member of the Rotary Club of Windsor St. George, England. “Both groups have persevered through great odds to be where we’re at today.”Rotary International, in association with UNICEF, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the British Pakistan Foundation, and the Global Poverty Project, sponsored the garden party in London attended by more than 100 people, including five Paralympic athletes, three of whom are polio survivors.The event raised thousands of dollars for PolioPlus and the Pakistani Paralympic Committee and advocated for a polio-free world. Wajid Shamsul Hasan, the High Commissioner of Pakistan to the United Kingdom, praised Rotary’s efforts to eradicate polio in Pakistan and spoke about his government’s commitment to step up resources to rid his country of the disease.Diment said advocacy efforts have become more important than ever, as funding shortages have forced the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) to cancel or scale back immunization activities in high-risk countries, leaving more children vulnerable to the disease.The GPEI launched an emergency action plan earlier this year but is US$1 billion short of what it needs in order to implement the plan through 2013. Rotarians can help, Diment says, by lobbying their governments to commit funding for polio eradication and by spreading the word about the immense benefits of finally eliminating this crippling disease.“We must continue to reach out and put Rotary’s effort in front of the opinion makers and governments so they act in helping us achieve our goal of polio eradication worldwide,” says Diment.

Rtn. Raghavendra is the chairman for the flagship event ‘Rotary Brahmanda 2012’. He along with his co-chairman Rtn. Dr. Prahlad is making all arrangements to hold the programme this month. It is going to be an event which will benefit 300 students.

INNER WHEELSoft skill trainer Ann Chandrika Raghu was the speaker at Rotary West Club on 4th September evening. She inspired and moulded the audience with her talk on “Meaning of Soft Skills”.
