IPL SEMI FINALS FELLOWSHIP

T20 Cricket Zindabad !!!!!! Yipppeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!! was the feeling of joy during Madras Knights Round Table 181's IPL 3 semi finals fellowship @ our own Dr.Lanky's hotel. A total of 14 tablers ,7 circlers and 6 twinklers were there to cheer CSK team to pull of a victory in the last over. The emotion graph that day was a constant up down but finally stayed on the positive side. The second half was the most exciting and entertaining because all the adults in house and the kids cheered for all the wickets that fell of the BRC's. There was definitely an itch to guess and put a value against CSK not winning the way they performed in their batting that day but none had the heart to do it which turned out finally good because CSK survived from the jaws of a bad loss..... Over all it was an awesome fellowship with some great food and hospitality of Hotel cine city.

Way to go CSK and MKRT 181 !!! There will be a repeat of the same fellowship on the 25th April for the finals at the same venue and hope our cheering along with many other in the world make CSK take the IPL 3 trophy against all odds !!!.... Whistle podunga !!!!

An Evening With Legends

Tablers and Circlers,
A party hosted by Tr. Rajiv Shah (MKRT 181) & Tr. Uttam (MSRT 159)
It was indeed our pleasure hosting this event and would like to thank the National Board and Area 2 chairman Tr. Prabhat for giving us an opportunity to host this momentous occasion. We had great fun and fellowship in the initial stages of planning for the event; however we did not know if we could actually do justice and had the capability to host an event of such magnitude and importance.
Chairman Area 2 had informed us that this was the one of its kind opportunity where you would get to host all the Legendary Past Presidents of this movement a feat which may not ever be repeated in future. Having taken up the challenge but with fear in mind and to ensure that all would go well and smooth we actually spent some sleepless nights in order to ensure that everything was planned to avoid any shortcomings.
As the day arrived we were informed that 16 Past Presidents, 1 current President and 2 incoming Presidents of this movement would be gracing our party apart from the National and Area Board Members. Now when has this been possible or would ever be possible - we were actually to host 17 Presidents and 2 incoming Presidents.
The parties was scheduled to start by 8.00pm but as the formal session took some time the party actually started the party only by 9.30pm but believe me all the guest were so pepped up and eager to party that in no time we had the dance floor and the DJ rocking the party with some latest dance numbers.
We had our own constrains in terms of the invitees but however ensured that we do our best to reach out to the whole of Area 2 giving them an opportunity to meet and enjoy fellowship with fellow tablers and the Past Presidents.
In the usual Area 2 style (Or should I say the 181 style) the party rocked and we also witness to some great dancing moves by our Past Presidents. It was fellowship at its best what with about 170 heads present it looked like a mini Area AGM. The party went on till late hours and everybody were in such HIGH SPIRITS (so much so that we practically ran out of liquor) but then that is the bonding and fellowship that we share in Area 2. A special mention to our area HT Satish who was at his usual best and ensured that all partied till late and if he had his way maybe the party could never stop.
We would like to again thank the National and Area board for having entrusted us with this wonderful opportunity and hope we have done justice to the faith and trust that you entrusted on
us.

Regards,
King of Goodtimes………….making impossible possible

The Little Genius Club of MKRT 181 on Children’s day the 14th of Nov 2009

Tablers and Circlers,

Nov 14th the children’s day was a big day for all the twinklers of MKRT 181. For the first time ever twinklers of 181 through the national initiative of Little Genius Club did social service and also had a fellowship amongst them selves and also many other twinklers of other tables by inviting them for a screening of a movie.
This day started of at the Deaf and Dumb section of the Little Flower School, T.Nagar below Anna Salai flyover where our little geniuses donated materials required for embroidery on various forms of textile. There are about 55 grown ups who are all deaf and dumb and they make a living by doing this embroidery on Sari’s, linen and children's clothes. This unit is run and managed by the sisters of this little flower school. Our children really understood how some people are un lucky
but still show only one thing on their faces and that is their wide smile. Our children also gave away biscuits and juices to all of them.
From there we all moved ahead to another section of this school which takes care of 150 plus blind children. Here twinklers of 181 donated some requisites related to their dining hall and also distributed some snacks and drinks.
After finishing these two community services all the children with their mothers with a few tablers headed towards Devi Sree Devi Preview Theater. Here for the first time ever the twinklers of MKRT 181 hosted a fellowship event for the other twinklers of all the other tables of Chennai and Pondichery (Area 2) by organising the screening of the latest Warner brothers kids movie called "Shorts". Before the movie started The Little Genius club of MKRT 181 yet again did another community service the 3rd one for the day through Area 2 Chairman Tr.Prabhat in the presence of Chairman of 181 Sunil, community service convenor 181 Tr.Lankesh, Fellowship convenor and ladies of 181 and gave away scholarships to students enough to cover one full academic years fees to class toppers of 1st, 3rd and 5th Standard of Siragu Montessori school run by the famous NGO Suyam Charitable trust. This NGO was chosen because MKRT 181 had adopted their class room projects as their long term project in the year 2004 and have built all together 9 class rooms for them in slots.
Soon movie time had come but before that it was refreshment time and Parfait 3 Bistro a popular restaurant and bakery from Velachery gave away all the kids and their mothers cookies and Muffins as complimentary for the occasion of
children's day. The children were all set for the movie to roll and roll it did and every body had great fun watching it nonstop without a break. After the movie the fellowship did not end because it was lunch time. Even though it was raining
cats and dogs and it was way pass their lunch time the kids were patient enough to head to Copper chimney restaurant where they all had a good time eating their lunch and running around the whole restaurant.
The little geniuses of MKRT 181 ended their Children’s day by all of them in tandem cutting one cake which was an awesome sight to watch them cut the cake together and singing a impromptu version of Happy children’s day.
It was definitely a happy ending for all of them, their mothers (the ladies of 181) and me for have facilitating these activities for them.
Again this initiative of Little Genius club is an awesome initiative and it definitely gives our kids the platform to understand this moto to the " SERVICE THROUGH FELLOWSHIP " and this is what was translated in to action by the future
generation of Round Table India and our country our twinklers of MKRT 181... :-)
This fellowship couldn’t have been a success without the other tables little geniuses and their mothers who made it for the movie fellowship even though it was raining
So, this was a dream made possible for the little genius club of MKRT181 and we definitely will dream on... to do more activities in the months and years to come....
Shine ON!!!!
