In tune with our Prime Ministers dream project of Swachh Bharat, the
theme of Ravan making competition was to make Swachh Ravans. The
teams were given challenging task of making Ravan out of Recycled/
Reused materials and not waste new product to burn the effigy, as well
as spread the message to clean our nation.

The four WARNAR SENA were extremely excited and

lively set of teams to make the best Ravan. The teams spent
a lot of time deciding on themes for their Ravans and had
to do enormous efforts to collect waste from their homes
and work places to make the Ravans.

THE EDITORS

In the middle of this festive season, it was

time for a social event winter on wheels.
This was an event where collection of old
winter clothes for Kashmir flood victims
took place.
It was an event initiated by Mr Akram
Feroze, who drove down a truck from
Hyderabad to Kashmir, passing through
various cities and collecting old winter
clothes.

He reached Indore on 26th Oct morning.

Leo club of Indore (Main) donated a
certain sum of money and old winter
clothes for this social cause. This donation
took place in the leadership and presence
of our Hon.club president Leo Vaibhav
Khandelwal accompanied by many club
members.

The members adopted the beach-fit attire for the party.

Very soon,
the people were into the
pool, mesmerized by the tunes of
DJ. Jubilant
party members tickled
their feet along with the DJ and in no time were into the water
floor! The crowd turned
even more boisterous when the over water and under water
games were played. The
entire balloon decoration and use of props such as swimming
glasses, costumes, balls
etc. successfully created an environment of a party along the

I write poems for myself. Most of these are regarding improving yourself and introspection. These sometimes
become source of inspiration for me & also for my readers.
I have written about 20 poems till today. I do not write very oftenonly at occasions when I feel too happy / too sad.
Happy I am and happiness is here
And my face shows it very sharp and clear.

But shining and raising as a drop of dew.

Fool Leo Scope

Every place in the world is at
a walkable distance. Just try
to find time.

This month may be a bad

month for you. Take a chill
pill and spend most of your
time in bed.

If you get dreams of lizards, it

means that you have a secret
enemy. Beware.

Even if someone swears at

you or says unkind things
about you, start laughing
hysterically. Keep the
opposite person puzzled.

You will be kissed by your

secret crush this month.
Dont take this prediction too
seriously.

Your friends may party this

month and not invite you.

Avoid eating fast food this

month. You may end up with
an upset stomach.

Smile all day long. Make

people wonder what you
are up to.

Take bath with a nice

smelling washing powder.
Your soul needs some deep
cleansing.

Dont pick your nose in front

of your girlfriend/boyfriend.
You will surely get dumped.

You love to project yourself as

confident and smart. Its ok
to be bluffing some times.

You are impatient, arrogant,

stupid foolish, etc. We are

FROM THE MDPS DESK

I tried quitting once & failed, so no use trying again.

Most smokers try several times before

quitting for good. So if youve failed previously, dont
let that deter you from trying again. Each time people
quit, they learn things that could be useful for their next
attempt at quitting, Malarcher says. Edelman says, We
like to say the first time you try to quit is practice, the
second time is practice, and the third or fourth time, you
get it right. You have to keep trying.

Smokers who switch to light-mild cigarettes inevitably

compensate for lower levels of tar, nicotine by inhaling
smoke more deeply/by smoking more cigarettes. Most
people who smoke them get same amount of the killing
components in tobacco smoke, Similarly, ones labeled
natural/organic are no safer than ordinary cigarettes.
You need not add anything to tobacco for it to kill you,

Switching to light cigarettes will cut my risk.

INDORE, NOVEMBER 2014

Smoking is never safe. Every cigarette contains 1-2 mg

of nicotine & it reaches your brain in 8-10 seconds.
There are many damaging chemicals taken in with
each inhale of a cigarette. The smoke contains
4,000 chemicals and poisons, 50 of which
cause cancer. Each time you inhale you take in
nicotine, tar, CO, cyanide, arsenic, formaldehyde,
ammonia & benzene, just to name a few.

MYTH

Samvaad se Samadhaan Tak

Smoking only a few cigarettes a day is okay.

The damage caused by smoking is cumulative, & the

longer a person smokes, the greater his/her risk for
life-threatening ailments. But quitting smoking at
any age brings health benefits. Your health will
improve even if you quit at 70, says Norman H.
Edelman, MD, chief medical officer of American
Lung Association. The benefits of quitting start
the day you stop. Within a year, your risk of
having a heart attack will be cut by 50%.

would like to share with you an incident which took us through the immeasurable
powers of this fine organization. Being the proud member of Leo movement, we
always believed in the motto & unity of Lions Clubs International.

One of our dedicated member from the Leo Multiple 323 Leo Hasmukh Thathagar (Home Club: Leo Club
of Mira Bhayander) met with a fatal accident with severe injuries and paralyzing his body below neck.
The Hospital suggested an urgent operation with a cost of Rs. 3,50,000/- . Coming from the modest
financial conditions it was difficult for the family of Leo Hasmukh to bear this amount. It was all the more
difficult for the family to gather
this amount overnight for the urgent operation.
When it came to the notice of
Leo and Lions family, they immediately acted
to help the family. We always
worked for the betterment of society but when
the situation came upon us we
could experience the strength of unity and
power of this organization. Leos
and Lions family came together to contribute
in this moment crisis and within
a day, we were in position to provide the
operation amount. The operation
was successful and we were emotionally
overjoyed to see success we
achieved and truly realizing the greatest words
spoken by Sir Nelson Mandela that we are all bound together in ways that are invisible to the eye; that
there is a oneness to humanity; that we achieve ourselves by sharing ourselves with others, and caring for
those around us. Hasmukhs family who were not strong supporter of him spending time in Leo, said that
they are proud of Hasmukh being a Leo and recognized the support of this Organization in this moment
of despair.
Unfortunately our happiness did not last long; succumbing to severe injuries we
lost our dear friend and a great Leo. Leo by heart, he donated his eyes and served
for the last time. Leo Hasmukh was a part of Multiple micro cabinet and our dear
friend. We are thankful to this organization and all the Leos
and Lions who showed their selfless support and set the great
example of unity.

MULTIPLE DISTRICT PRESIDENT 323 (2014-15)

Aashirvachan
YESTERDAY IS HISTORY.
TOMORROW IS A MYSTERY.
TODAY IS A GIFT.
THATS WHY ITS CALLED THE PRESENT.

These words have everything which a person needs not

only to achieve the pinnacle of his dreams, but which will
help him and guide him to overthrow the obstacles which
life throws in front of him on that beautiful but tough path
ahead to reach that mountain.
Very early in my life, I understood the value of this quote.
All of you start some pet project or dream in your life which
requires every second of your day, every drop of your
sweat. Could you have achieved it without using your time
judiciously? No. It requires the perfect management of giving your time to your wife, children, relatives and business.
Lethargy, monotony, procrastination, saturation are some
of the few evils which everyone encounters. The key is to
wake up in the morning and feel that day as a gift which
once opened and used cant be reopened again.
