UPCOMING
EVENTS

Leo Clubs much awaited trip to Kanha National Park happened on the
22th March weekend of 2015. A total of 16 members participated in this
wildlife tour to one of the most famous national parks of the country.
We departed on 19th March via the Indore Jabalpur Express
with stories of Leo Clubs previous outstation tours by the
senior members and countless rounds of Antakshari. All of this
was punctuated by good hearted picking on each other, and of
course munching on a lavish variety of snacks. When finally
everyone called it night and retreated to their bunks for a good
nights sleep, some unscrupulous elements decided that the
time was ripe for some face painting. A lot of us woke up with
pink whiskers and tilaks on our faces the next day.
It was early arrival in Jabalpur, and after a quick, but gourmet
breakfast in a city hotel, we headed off to Kanha with much
enthusiasm and excitement. A journey of about 4 hours landed
us at the Tuli Tiger Resort near the Khatiya Entrance of the
Kanha National Park. The resort bettered our already high
expectations with rooms housed in quaint double storied
cottages and a close-to-nature ambience. The icing on the cake
however was the scrumptious, piping hot lunch that we were
served just before we left for our first safari inside the corearea of the forest.

Armed with cameras, we were all set in our open Gypsies to

capture the fauna that awaited us in the jungle; and we were
not disappointed. ..Contd. to Page 2

Editors of the clubs bulletin 2014 - 15, Leo Dr. Ankita Ruthia and
Leo Rachita Kasliwal, express their opinion.
Weather was also very
favourable during the
Kanha trip.

And now Leos are all

geared up for the Multiple Convention at
Delhi. How time flies!
It just seems like yesterday when our Board members
were installed. And now this year
too is coming to a close. There is
good quote about time:

possible and wear loose-fitting
and long-sleeved clothes.

However, Mr. Sun had taken a

backseat on the 1st of March, the
day of War on Wheels (WOW)!
It was a windy, chilly morning
and unfortunately the rains on
the previous night had played
a spoil sport. Though a bit late,
once the treasure hunt began,
there was no stopping and we
enjoyed the drive more due to
the pleasant weather.

We all know these things The value of time, the importance of money.
But life goes on at its pace and in the
run, we forget to ponder on these
things or make any changes in our
lifestyles. Take a moment, change
immediately what needs to be
changed. Dont waste time anymore!

Since only a couple of editions are

left, we urge you to send in your
contributions to Apni Baat soon!
Happy Reading!
The Editors.

THE ANNUAL ADRENALINE RUSH!!

1st of March, the most awaited

day for all Indorians. WoW 2K15
was finally a few hours away.
After all the hard work done,
WoW 2K15 team was ready to
give their best shot.

With gushing winds and

sprinkles of water every now
and then for the past 24 hours,
nobody had imagined the
success of the event to be so
grand that even the rain gods
bowed their head down.

Best Decorated Car and lots more which boosted the spirits of
everyone! The judge for these competitions was a renowned
painter, Mr. Milind Naphde.

After the judgment, the clue sheets were given to the teams and
every body rushed off. The hunt started at 10.30Am and lasted for
2 and half hours.

The event commenced at 9AM

with more than a hundred teams
all decked up in their costumes
with their beautifully decorated
cars parked on the pavements of
SS Infinitus with the enthusiastic
team members ready to solve
the nerve clenching clues!
Once the registrations were
done, everyone was served
a sumptuous breakfast of
Sandwiches and Poha. After this,
Leo Jinesh Shah and Leo Mohit
Nagori directed the teams and
explained them the rules and
regulations of the hunt.

Another
attraction
for
the participants were the
nominations like, Best Team
Name, Best Theme Depiction,

THE THEME FOR THE YEAR WAS MAKE IN INDIA

WHICH GAVE ALL THE PARTICIPANTS A VERY WIDE
SPACE FOR THEIR CREATIVITY TO PONDER AND THIS
WAS QUITE EVIDENT IN THEIR EXECUTION AS WELL.

The clues this year had

some added fun to them
and were somewhat
like, The glorious
history of Indore is
incomprehensible,
so
is this clue. Inside SS
Infinitus Go behind

monument,
play a little game. The

take you to this place.
MILAN always had their own

prominent
presence
with one of them being
as innovative as Living Being of clade Avialae in an Aviary .
From 12.45PM the overjoyed teams had started to return with
their clues stamped and an aviary in the hands! All energized to
the get their collectibles ticked and clues stamps accepted! This
was followed by the Prize Distribution where the best team name
selected was Namoste WoW (Team of Leo Prachi Bobra) and
the hunt winners being Leo Vishal Khasgiwala and his Team!

To celebrate their victories, everyone then proceeded for Lunch

marking the end of the event.
As promising as its success, WoW this year again received an
overwhelming response from the club as well as the city of Indore
and once again showed that when LCI does something, its nothing
but the best!

We were greeted with hoards of deer as we started our tour of the The beauty of dawn is something else, and as we entered the
Mukki Zone in the National Park. The guides educated us on the Sal and Bamboo forest, the quiet, surreal atmosphere of the
variety of animals in that habitat as well as the animal calling which place took our breath away. This time around we saw Jackals,

all night.
The next day started early (really early) with a 6 AM safari. This time
we were scheduled for Kanha Zone, and there were talks of Munna
and Red-Eye, the alpha male tigers most often spotted in that Zone.

We returned on the morning of 23rd March with memories of laughter and unadulterated fun, having
made new friends and developed stronger bonds with fellow Club members. It was a trip that will always
be fondly remembered by those who participated and regretted by the ones who missed. Like it was said
there are now 2 kinds of members: those who went to Kanha, and those who didnt.

MYTH

Green tea helps to lose weight fast

Black and green tea come from different tea plants

What is the difference between black and

white pepper? When you remove the outer
fruit from black pepper, the inner seed is white pepper.
The same applies to tea. Green, oolong and black tea
all come from one tea plant: Camellia sinensis. They
are just processed differently. This doesnt mean all
tea plants are the same. Tea is an out breeder. It has
been cultivated & selected by men for years. Different
cultivars are suited for making different types of teas.

Dont trust anyone this

month. Stay inside until
this month is all over and
done with. Dont trust this
horoscope either. Just dont

Dont argue with a fool.

People might not know the
difference.

When you cross the road, try

to take first 2 steps with your
left leg only.

We wish that you stop

reading Horoscopes and start
Living Life !! Laugh More Live
More !!

Dont pick up unknown

numbers on your cell phone.
It could cause you problems
and it will also waste your
time.

You are dull and boring

hence you have to read
funny horoscope to spice up
your life.

Wear red and orange colored

socks to the gym. That hottie
you have been eyeing may
just notice you.

When in danger, you have

a tendency to run away
quickly. Harness that ability
this month as youll need it
sometime.

Doctors may be stunned by a

random discovery they make
whilst examining you.

Harmless fun may come back

to harm you over the coming
weeks.

According to Kerri-Ann Jennings, a registered dietician.

Although previous studies said this was the case, the
most recent research has found that adding milk to tea
does not negate its health benefits.

If youre missing an element

Myth VS Fact

Adding milk to tea negates its health benefits.

INDORE, APRIL 2015

Take any healthy food excessively and it is likely to turn

into a poison. The same applies to green tea. Many
population studies documenting its health benefits
are based in Asia, where people typically drink
3 cups a day. Studies conducted by Imai suggest
drinking as many as 10 cups. Hence experts
recommend drinking 3 to 10 cups a day.

Samvaad se Samadhaan Tak

Have green tea as much as you can

A 1999 study conducted Dr. Dulloo at the University

of Geneva found that green tea boosted energy
expenditure by 4%. If you burn 2,000 calorie a day,
this translates to 80 calories, roughly the same
amount of calories in a small banana. So if you
expect green tea to work its magic, you would
be disappointed. However, if you structure
your diet correctly, regular use of green tea can
stabilize your metabolism and help you reinforce
your already established weight loss plan.

APNI BAAT

Aashirvachan

grew up in West Delhi, and went to The Army Public School. My father was in the army and my mother in a
government job a typical middle class setup. In school, I was a good student, though not extraordinary. In fact i
see the scores required now and shudder on how one can get a good college. My class X score was 76% and class
xii 85%.

FORBES INDIA: YOU LEFT A SECURE (THOUGH IT ISNT AS SAFE A FIELD THESE DAYS!) AND LUCRATIVE
CAREER TO PURSUE THE WRITING DREAM, A LIFE THAT IS NOTORIOUSLY UNPREDICTABLE. WHAT HELPED
YOU MAKE THE DECISION? HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO MAKE THE BREAK? ANY REGRETS? DID IT HELP THAT
YOUR WIFE IS A SUCCESSFUL PROFESSIONAL IN HER OWN RIGHT?
CHETAN BHAGAT: I think the continued response to all my books, and the rising fan base made me feel that ultimately I meant to

something other than working in the bank. I still kept working all the way until three books became bestsellers and two movies based
on them went on the floor. A top psychiatrist in Delhi told me that my impact on young minds is tremendous, and I have the power
to influence them on how they live their life, if I want to take it. Hence, I should stop positioning myself as just a funny author. That
conversation had an impact.
The safety was the main reason to stay on, as were the middle class upbringing values that you just dont quit an MNC bank job. I think
the final point came when I was able to overcome the lure of money. I worked for a long time internally on letting go of my attachment
and identity to the amount of money I made. When that happened, the bank job seemed even more pointless. There were things I
wanted to do apart from books (like the talks and columns) and the job was preventing me from doing it.
My wifes job, ironically, was not a factor in favour of quitting but quite otherwise. My wife working creates even more pressure for me
to remain successful. I would though say that one big reason for me to leave was our kids, as with both of us working and me having this
extra-large extra curricular activity, the kids had not time from us.
I am far calmer and happier today after quitting, but yes, the end of the month salary is missed.

FORBES INDIA: YOU SPEAK OF DOING AROUND 50 TALKS AROUND THE COUNTRY EVERY YEAR. YOU WRITE
REGULAR COLUMNS. YOU KEEP IN TOUCH WITH YOUR FANS VIA YOUR SITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA. HOW THE
HECK DO YOU FIT IT ALL IN AND STILL GET THE BOOKS DONE?
CHETAN BHAGAT: Yes, it is a tough balance. I have limited myself to four talks a month, or roughly once a week, though mostly I

combine a couple of them on one trip. I also write my column once in two weeks, as a weekly one would be difficult for me. When I am
writing a book, I withdraw from my blog and networking sites something my fans are not too happy about but ultimately understand.
Right now, I am not writing anything as 2 States just came out, so I have time to tweet. I also plan to slow the pace of my book releases.
Four books in five and a half years is quite fast.

FORBES INDIA: IF THINGS DONT STAY AS GOOD AS THEY HAVE BEEN THUS
FAR IF YOUR NEXT BOOKS DOESNT SELL AS MUCH THE PREVIOUS ONES,
FOR INSTANCE DO YOU HAVE A PLAN B?
CHETAN BHAGAT: There is some sort of a plan B, but frankly life doesnt work that way.

Ill just have to figure out plan-B if the need arises, but also only when the need arises. I have
enough degrees to get me some employment. Dealing with the lack of writing success well, I
think I will devote myself to spiritual activity more.

BEING CREATIVE IS NOT A

HOBBY, IT IS A WAY OF LIFE!

MY
CORNER

Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have

only today. Let us begin.

By Leo Sonal
Quilling or paper filigree is an
art form that involves the use
Khandelwal
of strips of paper that are rolled,
shaped and glued together to
create intricate and interesting designs.
The paper is rolled, looped, curled, twisted and
otherwise manipulated
to create shapes, which
make up designs to
decorate greeting cards,
pictures, boxes, and to
make fashion jewellery.
The most popular and
versatile technique is that of rolling.
Many quilled art works can be found on ladies
purses, fashion jewellery, candles, wide range of
frames, miniature designs, mobile covers, storage
boxes and much more. An interesting form of
paper quilling is creating miniature three-dimensional models with paper strips.
PAPER QUILLED FLOWER POT
Miniature paper quilling designs are so lovely to
look at. Tools reqd. for making quilling flower pot:
Strips of quilling paper
Slotted quilling tool
Toothpick
Craft glue

PAPER QUILLED JEWELLERY

Paper quilling jewellery is quite popular these
days. We can easily make beautiful paper quilling
earrings or jhumkaas with this craft form. With
a pinch of creativity and patience, we can make
stunning paper jewellery. The best point is these
accessories are eco-friendly and light in weight.
These accessories are coated with sealant which
makes them water and dust resistant.

Paper quilling takes a lot of patience and practice,

but the results can be very rewarding. The more
you practice, the better you will be at it.
WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU HANDS
MAKE HANDMADE!
