Down the memory lane: Imagine the Impossible,Achieve the Extraordinary! by Rtn. Krishnachander
The Imagine year will forever remain an unforgettable milestone in my two-decade Rotary journey. It was a year where the impossible was imagined and achieved on an unimaginable scale, leaving an indelible mark on all of us.
The camaraderie began long before the year started, thanks to the gracious hospitality of PDG Nanda and Sumedha. Deepa and I fondly recall the many dinners at the DG residence, which strengthened our bond with the Imagine Presidents and their First Ladies. My close relationship with Co-DS Shriram Duvvuri, nurtured a year prior, also made our shared journey smoother and more enjoyable.
Every event and project during the year was nothing short of mega-scale. With no rest between milestones, the energy was electrifying. The visits of international dignitaries, particularly RI President Jennifer Jones, added immense colour and significance. Goa PETS, Mysore SETS, and the grand Sarvam conference stood out as monumental events.
Serving as a District Secretary was both a privilege and a deeply gratifying experience. Building relationships with the Presidents and Secretaries of 175 clubs in District 3232 was truly special. Memorable moments like club installations and GOVs made the journey even more fulfilling.
Though the massive administrative workload encroached on personal and business time, it was a small price to pay for the joy and learning it brought. I’m grateful to DG Nanda for giving me a free hand, enabling swift decision-making and communication without compromising protocols.
This year has been a rich, educational, and transformative experience – one that has taught me invaluable lessons both personally and professionally. My heartfelt thanks go out to DG Nanda and all my Rotary colleagues for their extraordinary support and encouragement.
Here’s to imagining and achieving even greater heights!
