the big difference in the amount? We are celebrating the 30th
Anniversary, so the group is subsidizing Rp. 30 000 for members!!!!!!

be charged Rp. 20 000.
REPORT FOR APRIL
Our April meeting which was sponsored by Peak Apartments, was a great
success as our members followed rules for reserving their seats for
the meeting, it was really appreciated. Our grateful thanks to P.T.
PRAKARSA CEMERLANG for the arrangements done by them - the tea,
coffee, the snacks, lunch etc. and the Lovely door prizes sponsored by
Casablanca Club and ‘The Art et Domain’ were given to the lucky 7
ladies – Mrs jankhi Mukhi, Mrs. Sunitha Babani, Mrs. Rita Vishwanathan,
Mrs. Pushpa Mundra, Mrs. Bina Jethnani, Mrs. Namrata Uttamchandani &
Mrs. Dipika Trivedi. Congratulations to each of you.
The Yoga master, Mr. Yudi from Casablanca Club, explained how the
breathing in Yoga helps to improve our health in different ways. He
demonstrated some exercises and made the 52 ladies present there to
follow the breathing technique which he suggested, helps release
stress & tension in our stressful & mundane life we live in. Many
ladies even enjoyed the relaxing 5 minute massage that was available
at the premises!!!
CONDOLENCES
Our condolences to our member Mrs. Rekha Tekchandani on the sudden
death of her husband Mr. Bhagwan Tekchandani. May his soul rest in
Peace & God give the family members strength to bear their loss.
SCHOLARSHIP
The scholarship programme is coming along well. We would also like to
thank Mrs. Lisha Vaswani who is also one of the sponsors of our
scholarship programme. Any one interested in sponsoring any student,
can call Mrs. Sunitha Badam for any future details.
First hand information…..
Just to give you all my experience about the meeting at BKKKS for
social welfare. The BKKKS is the head organisation where many other
associations, to mentions a few like ANZA, AWA, WIC, FWA, PWA, IWA
etc. are all registered. The BKKKS collects a list of different
Yayasans that need help & when the different associations meet on a
fixed date, the proposals are put forward & associations offer to take
up what they can do. I was really surprised to see how the other
associations come forward to help & this really gives a motivation to
do more for social welfare. Any of our member who would like to
participate in helping in social welfare, are welcome to come forward
& please contact Sonal Sadarangani to give us more ideas so we can do
more to help those who are waiting to be helped by us!!!!!!!
LAUGH YOUR WAY TO HEALTH
Have u ever
wondered how "Americanisms" would sound like if they were translated
literally to an average Indian on, say, the streets of New Delhi (or
elsewhere)? These are the common phrases that we use everyday... just
check out how would they sound in hindi...
Have a nice day! * Achcha din lo!
Son of a gun. * Bachcha bandook ka.
What's up? *Uppar kya hai?
Are you nuts? * Kya aap akhrot hain?
You're kidding! *Tum bachcha bana rahe ho!
Cool man! * Thandaa aadmi!
Don't mess with me, dude. *Mere saath gandagee mat karo, ek
hustee.
Check this out, man! * Iskee chaanbeen karo, aadmi!
Hey good looking; what's cooking? *Arree sundarta ki devi; kyaa
pakaa rahee ho?
And the best one is.....
How do you do? * Kaise karte ho?
With the laughter & smile on your
face I will sign off here, but don’t forget to save your money & give
in your name before 6th May, for the lovely discounted Thai lunch on
10th May!!!!!!!! Have a nice day!!!!
