From the Editor’s Desk:Half-Yearly Special Issue by Rtn. Sashikumar VS

Fellow partners in Service,

Ho, ho, ho! Guess who’s been Santa this year? Our very own DG Bothraji! In this special half-yearly edition of Voice of RID 3233, he shares why being Santa for his big Rotary and friends’ family fills him with joy and reminds us all of the magic of giving. Trust me, his words will make you want to spread cheer far and wide!

And what’s a special issue without some star features? This exclusive Imagine year edition shines a spotlight on PDG Dr. N Nandakumar and his Presidents (yours truly included!) and Anns. Adding more sparkle, the then District First Lady, Dr. Sumedha, pens an inspiring article on women in leadership, while my First Lady, Rohini, shares her take on life as an Ann in Rotary—honest, heartfelt, and relatable!

Of course, we’ve doubled up on everything this time! From Kovil Idly recipes to fashion tips, eye care hacks, and even an insightful article on Vastu to bring harmony into your home—the list goes on and on. Consider this edition your perfect companion for the holidays.

A big shoutout to Team Praanha for their dazzling designs that bring this magazine to life and to our wordsmith extraordinaire, Raji, whose sharp eye kept us error-free despite a mountain of articles. Your hard work makes this magazine shine brighter than Christmas lights!

To my team—thank you for crossing the halfway mark in style. We’ve done it with flair, and I know the rest of this journey will be just as extraordinary. Here’s to making every issue better than the last!

Dive into this treasure trove, enjoy the read, and don’t forget to share it with your friends and family.
