From the editors’ desk An action packed August 2013 with Socials, Fellowships, Projects, LAPD & HRD sessions International Business Meets, Inter Area projects all happening at Area 2. The DO MORE bug has indeed caught up with all the Tables and Circles and the Tables have done a fantastic job in organizing these innumerable events all in one single month. The star event for the month was the Area 2 Informal Night and Area 2 AGM. Though the A2AGM was held on 1st Sep 13, we thought it to be apt to be covered in the August Newsletter, considering all the hype and noise this event has created in a short time. Kudos to MSRT159 for pulling off yet another spectacular event with such ease. While the “1” bug is soon catching up on the current Head Table of Area 2, the tables have proved yet again that they are ONE bunch of enthusiastic and friendly people who will DO MORE for fellowship and Service. The standards of reporting, fellowship, bonding, projects have been set so high already, wonder what it would take to better them at Area2 or even at the National Level. So lets sit back, relax and enjoy reading what happened in Area 2 in the month of August 2013. Cheers, Akshay Dugar, Editor – Coromandel Calling 13-14 Please send your suggestions / queries / feedback to [email protected] or [email protected].

Area 2 Informal Night | Area 2 AGM (Business Session| Area 2 Chairmans Banquet C:Hari Balaji|VC:Shriram Duvvuri|AST:Vinay Grandhi|IPC: Gitesh Agarwal Well, this is what we were all waiting for – the BIG DADDY of ALL AGMs in A2 – the Area 2 AGM. The Informal Night was held at the Leela Palace, Santhome with the concept of Adzap. The theme and concept required a lot of preparation which resulted in 5 teams participating. The 5 teams which participated in the Adzap would have given the real brand managers a run for their money with their innovative APPLE LUNGIS, SAMSUNG SMART LUNGIS, SPECIAL COCK(E)S, and many more interesting products which they had to market and convince the audience and judges to buy. MSRT39, MMRT95 & MSRT123 stood out with their stellar performances which were widely acknowledged by both the judges and audience. The Business Session was at Radission Blu, Egmore and saw the likes of Tr.Amitaabh & Tr.Rajesh Shah emptying the pockets of all the convenors, Head Table members – in short nobody was spared. The sergeants pulled off yet another remarkable act by making each table chairman dress up IPC Gitesh Agarwal with articles like lipstick, abdomen guard and many more unimaginable gear. The Chairmans Banquet was another grand affair at the Leela Palace on the 1st of Sep 13, where a long list of awards waited the Tables and Tablers for their stellar performance in the “WE ARE ONE YEAR”. The Change over saw Chairman Tr.Hari take over the stage in his own style as he wrapped the session in less than 20 minutes and asked all his conveners to DO MORE. All in all a fantastic event hosted by MSRT159 and amazing participation by tablers of Area 2 who are busy DOing MORE now.

Inter-Table @ Area 2 As part of the inter table activities, Area 2 believes in DOing More. To improve the bonding across all tables, the Inter Table initiative for the year has been to have 2 young tablers from each table attend the Business Meets & Socials of other Tables. By this one gets to interact with other tablers across the table in the same area - thereby breaking barriers within the area. The young tablers also get to know how a Business Meet takes place in other tables and a feedback is given to the Secretary and Chairman of their own table on the same. In addition to this, the month of August saw an exemplary bonding of Area 2 tablers during the Area 2 Informal Night, Business Session and Chairmans Banquet. A wonderful new DO MORE idea.

Fellowships @ Area 2

MERT30 It all started with a meeting at CCD, KNK ROAD followed up with another at LLYODS TEA HOUSE, with a few tablers and circlers putting their heads to get a script ready for the informal night. Lots of dance and drama, and lots of fun and frolic was a part of these practices between which they managed to meet up for a luncheon at “MASALEDAR” and a late night dinner at “MATHSYA” to revive themselves in the buildup towards the Area 2 AGM Informal Night event. A fantaboulous day and a fantastic fellowship marked the friendship day with a beautiful Sunday, as the climate was perfect and the crowd was all geared up for the first treasure hunt of the year for MERT 30 & LC 100 which was aptly named as “RUSH HOUR”. All tablers, circlers and twinklers met up at Hotel Ashoka to kick start the fun rally which included tasks like finding a school which has the name of a soft drink as a part of it or a jumbled words sequence forming up a vegetable name. Some tasks even called for taking a photo with a standing cow or pumping water with a hand pump or taking photo of a clock tower striking 10:50am. In short, crazy 30 was made to do crazier things to make this event a roaring success. 30ers met up at the newly opened LIBRARY LOUNGE, AT LEELA, for a round of drinks and get together. The place was light up with blue dazzling lights, with the men dressed in black had a great party.

A special Basket from Area 2 and MSRT39 was handed over to HKRT10 and both the tables exchanged information on how Round Tables function in India & Hong Kong. It was a learning experience even for the most experience tablers on both sides. Now this is called DOING MORE Beyond Boundaries.


Fellowships @ Area 2 MMRT42 HT.Prasanna hosted the fellowship at his farm house where alcohol was free flowing and was being served with gusto to the pool. AC Tr.Hari as usual gobbled up a dozen glasses of Bacardi without any major effect on his behavior. The children had a blast by spraying water from their guns and pichkaris. Circlers went into a huddle for their LC meeting. This was followed by an innovative game of volleyball played in Vasu style and finally some Andhra meals by Priya which put the grumbling stomachs in silent mode.

MCRT82 It was one of those Comedy Nights on 3rd Aug 13 at MCRT82 - Tr.Sachin Goel called all the tablers to the so called 'Bobby Ganeshan' restaurant for Tr.Prasads Social. The tablers later found out the venue was Barbeque Nation and not Bobby Ganehsan aka Tr. Prasads Residence. It was a fun evening with the “BOBBY GANESHAN GRILLed”.

MCRT94 On a breezy 4th Aug’13 Sunday evening, a few trs. Crs. Twrs. made their way to Island Grounds to experience “Masala Kart”, the largest street food festival around.

MART100 Ever imagined a Chairman dance with a lungi on Lungi Dance in a Theater - Well Rajiv Shah Chairman MART100 just showed how the Lungi Dance should be done and that to at the apt moment when the song is played in the multiplex. Kudos to Rajiv for being a sport and an entertainer – a total Paisa Vasool Act. On Friendships day MART100, circlers and Twinklers met up at Don Bosco School Egmore which was the venue for the Vinatge Car Rally. A great learning experience especially for the young ones.

PRT104 On Friendships day, PRT104 celebrated Cr. Deepthi’s Birthday at Baskin Robbins which was well attended by all Tablers, Circlers and Sq.Legs. This was followed by a surprise visit to Tr. Suraj’s residence for his BARthday next day and the celebrations continued at GRT. Some cricket fellowship too at PRT100 with the Pondy Payas battling it out to find their lost form. Food and Tablers have a wonderful connect - They can travel any distance for food and beer. It was fun evening with lots of Food and Fellowship at the food festival in Pondy and also the Breakfast party post Independence Day Celebrations.



MMRT95 95’s first fellowship was a huge super-duper success. It was a well-attended movie fellowship for the movie “Bhag Milka Bhag” at the Sathyam Cineplex where a total 40 heads including circlers, tablers, HTs and Square Legs attended the show. Fellowships started with the surprise birthday celebrations of Chairman Sachin Chhabria and Sq Leg Punit Sampat where all the Tablers had a ‘ROYAL’ challenge welcome to the exclusive Chairmans Bar at his residence. In the words of Tr. Siddharth Daga it was like a tasting session of the different Rolls Royce of the single Malts of the world. Post Bday surprise, tablers headed to Mathsya for a midnight snack and later turned up at the residence of Sq Leg Punit’s at 3:00 a.m. in the morning to surprise him!! Wonder if the 95ers even sleep. The next fellowship was the celebration of Friendship Day on 4th Aug’13 at the residence of Khandelwals - Tr. Hemant and Cr. Sofie Khandelwal where a total of 35 heads turned up for some fun moments. The undisputed king of MMRT 95 fellowships –Mentor Sq Leg Rajesh Bellani was the proud host of the next fellowship which was as an Iftar party at his residence which saw more than 60 heads attend the party. Amazing food, skull caps for all men, black dupattas for all women and the taste of the Singleton Single Malt whisky were just some of the highlights of this fun filled evening. In between all these fellowships, there were a series of Area AGM practice sessions and mini fellowships going on where Tr. Vimal Dhiran along with his wife Cr.Anuradha were the hosts for one such evening and the Masala Chai became the talk of the town soon after.

MSRT123 It was an action packed August 13 at MSRT123 with 13 fellowships during the month. First it was Chairperson Cr.Niloufer’s daughter birthday at her residence where Cr.Hema organised quilling sets for all twinklers and taught them how to quill and make beautiful designs. The tablers & Circlers were more interested in the delicious biryani. After a real testing cycling experience at the beach, 123ers headed to Woodlands give some exercise to their stomachs. The smell of sambhar and masala dosas were like a lifeline after a hard 7km cycling. The movie fellowship list included Chennai Express & Once Upon a Time in Mumbai Dobara where both MSRT123 & MSLC63 managed to group 100 people to watch the mega entertainer for a good cause. The proceeds of ticket sales went to charity. It really seemed as if MSRT123 has a fancy for Chinese food. As if Wok-a-toque was not enough, they all headed to China Town for dinner. A taste of Rajasthan, then you should visit Chowki Dhani in Chennai is what the 123ers have to say. A fun filled evening with authentic Rajasthani Cuisine and dessert atmosphere was well attended by all tablers and Circlers – a social hosted by Tr.Naval & Cr.Archana Yet again Chinese, this time to celebrate IPC Tr.Kishor Reddys Bday at Hotel presiden at HER NAME IS MING – that name had many an eyebrow raised as they caught the Bday Boy blush. Wonder what the true story is.



MHRT124 Sq.leg Ashish Gupta hosted dinner & cocktails at his beautiful residence at Neelankarai, ECR. The dinner was attended in full strength with all active tablers with family. It was fun, interaction and bonding time for the 124 boys.

MSRT159 Anjali and Ashika organized an Independence Day twinklers event on 15th August at Rain Tree Apartment hall where 9 kids took part in the fancy dress competition all dressed up as freedom fighters. This was indeed motivating for all Tablers and guests present there. MSRT159 hosted the Area 2 AGM Informal Night, Business Session and Chairman’s Banquet with much fineness & the unique concept for the Informal Night was much talked about.

MCRT162 On 9th Aug Chairman and Tr. Dannie Mathew and Mrs.Miriam hosted the dinner social for all tablers & ladies and twinklers at their residence. The A2 Informal night discussion and preparation was the talk of the evening. More than 13 tablers got together at Moonrakers and Silver Sands on the 10th Aug’13 where the spirited Tablers managed to fill their stomachs till 2.30AM with the finest alcohol by the shore. This was followed by a Lunch fellowship at Tr.Bharat MS and Kavithas residence.

MSRT123 AGM practice sessions galore, the family of 123 met every other day at Dr. Reddys residence which is now the adda of 123 for the Area 2 Informal Night practice. The young blood in MSRT123 showed that partying has become a religion – be it Illusions on the 16th Aug or Tr.Gaurav’s Surprise Bday Bash at his residence or Cr.Indu & Sq.LPraveens Anniversary celebrations or the Area 2 Informal Night, the fellowship at 123 never ends.

MKRT181 A fellowship that will be remembered by 181ers for a long time – Naughty or Nice - A lazy afternoon spent at the pool, with loads of drinks and bucket biryani and yes, people got NAUGHTY and a few were NICEly enjoying the beer!!! The Tablers and the families of MKRT 181 in the true form of fellowship spent the afternoon together on Friendship day this year. The flash mob by the wanna be Hirthiks and the Salmans of our table was a great touch to the already fun filled fellowship which was enjoyed by the pretty ladies of 181. The afternoons highlight was the buckets that were in full swing.. carrying drinks and in some cases yummy biryani ofcourse.

Area 2 DO MORE logo AREA 2 DO MORE Chairman Tr.Hari Balaji unveiled the new logo of Area 2 and the theme DO MORE. The DO MORE logo represents a puzzle which connects Area 2’s 18 Tables. The objective of this theme is to increase the boding among the tablers across tables and in turn collect the pins to complete the Area 2 DO MORE theme puzzle. An innovative and trendsetting theme for the year which will definitely inspire all the tablers to DO MORE .
