Thanks to Rajeshwar and Divyaa for this.

Christmas Fellowship Week End

The family of 181 kick started the Christmas week end by chilling out at the most popular roof top terrace lounge in Chennai at the Hilton Hotel called Q BAR… Most of the guys were coming here for the first time and it was extreme bliss of an experience for them. The never before cold breeze in Chennai , the quality of music , the ambience and most of all enjoying the company of each other was the point to be noted… We all partied till about 1am and rushed back home to take some good rest for a day long fellowship the following day which is going to be with the family of Table 159 playing a 20-20 crick match accompanied with some fun fare activities for the twinklers and the ladies of both the tables with some pot luck lunch @ the YMCA grounds…

Today the 17th of Nov 2011 we Knights funded a one months supply of Pedia sure a food supplement for 70 children taken care by CAN STOP a cancer support wing of Sundaram Foundation. It is our privilege for us to be able to provide the first and the last meal of the day for these children for a month. May God have them live their hope…

5th day of the RTI week of MKRT 181

This 18th of Nov, which is the 5th day of the RTI week, 200 plus inmates of Sri Matha Trust blessed the families of MKRT 181 by praying for us because we sponsored their breakfast. Sri Matha trust is a registered Charitable Institution and itsobjects are to help the poor and the sick in the society belonging to all caste, creed and religion. At the request of the Cancer Institute Chennai, right from Aug 2000 this trust runs Mohandevi Hirachand Nahar Rajasthani Dharamsala in the old Cancer Institute premises at Adyar Chennai that takes care of the needy cancer patients who cannot afford treatment.

6th Day of the RTI week of MKRT 181

Today the 19th of Nov we Kights contributed did 2 services of contributing bed sheets to the needy.

We contributed 26 bed sheets for other wise challenged children with Autism at KRUPA a home supported by Aim for Seva trust in Chennai. We handed over these bed sheets at the trusts admin office. Our visit to the office was definitely an eye opener about this organisation for the kind of vast support they are extending towards children’s education, betterment and up keep through out India almost like our organisation but here they not only build schools by seeking help they also educate and they also run student homes.
We knights contributed 18 bed sheets to a War widows welfare association named “NIMMADHI” an old age home that has 16 war widows mostly from World War 2 and two-ex service men. It is really sad to see and understand the lack of support they have from the society. We 181rs have visited this place for the first time and for sure left with an said promise them that we will further do our best and give what is needed by them ASAP to our capacities. It was so nice to see these old people having such a broad smile on there faces… Again thanks to this movement Round Table that we are able to reach such needy and be one small reason for the smile on their face

7th Day of the RTI week of MKRT 181

On 20th Nov we Knights did our 7th and final day of community services coinciding with the RTI week which this year for us was from the 14th to 20th of Nov. Today we supported a Govt. home for children called ‘Annai Sathiya illam’ near Central Railway station in Chennai supported by Smile foundation. This home mainly has girl children right from 1st standard to 12th standard and some college students too. We knights contributed today as a start Rs.5000 worth stationary mainly benefiting the girl children in the higher classes. We Knights did this contribution under the new initiative which we started today which is the ‘Save a Girl Child’ in association with Suyam Charitable trust headed by Mrs.Uma Muthuraman whom we are associated for the last 7 years. Today the children at this home were celebrating children’s day as 14th Nov was a Monday this yr and hence we also distributed biscuit packets to them. it was again a blessing to see so many broad smiles today on the faces of so many children

Madras Knights Round Table 181 RTI week Day 1

2011-11-15T18:04:00.002+05:30

Friends,

Tablers of MKRT 181 had their activities for the first day of the designated RTI week

Heres a report by Chairman Tr Vinay on the same

Day 1 of the community service of RTI week of MKRT 181 of 2011-12
On 14th of Nov which is the Children's Day Madras Knights started the RTI week for 2011-12 by donating a lot of things to Siragu school run by Suyam charitable trust. 181r's have built 9 class rooms in the past for this school and have decided after 3 yrs of gap that we will build a few more class rooms starting this year. Since today 14th was a working day and because of some last minute planning we 181'rs could not make it to the school for the morning Children's day function which was already planned by the school. Instead we made sure that our presence was not missed by donating some goodies this day which will directly benefit the children of the school. Todays activity which was coordinated and donated by the table are -
1. Sponsored a scrumptious special lunch for over 200 children.
2. 800 plus square feet of roofing material to cover the common utility areas of the school.
3. Two 1000 plus PMPO watts music systems for schools recreation rooms and hostel room.
4. One Hi 8 Video camera & one digital photo camera
5. Books for Siragu's library - A full series of How & Why books, A whole series of children's Encyclopedia books, A whole series of quiz books, A whole series of fairy tale books and many more other novels for kids.
6. Clothes for children and teachers.
7. Also initiated a pick up vehicle going to all 181'rs houses from this day onwards for a few days collecting similar useful things….
Since we missed the morning session principal of the school Mrs.Geetha came along with 8 students i.e. one child representing each class from classes 1 to 8 came to one of our tablets house.Here we donated all the above things mentioned. They were extremely excited seeing the books and the electronics they were getting. Each of them told what they wanted to become in the future and it was an eye opener to some of our twinklers of our table who were sitting along with them. Over all I think the day ended well with broad smiles on these few children's shining faces…

Heres What Tr Ram Says

Meeting Team CSK again on Saturday, October 1st 2011

Twinklers had another encounter with team CSK this evening at the Madras Cricket Club from 4:45pm to 6:45pm. Four Twinklers had a blast and were excited beyond imagination to meet with Team CSK. Twinker Karan Sampath on his B'day mustered up courage and talked to all the members and got Birthday wishes from all of them. In fact Ashwin was disappointed that Karan did not share his B'day cake with him. Suresh Raina made Twinkler Tanvi's day for sure. I could not believe that she was in tears after meeting and talking with him. She took almost 3 to 4 minutes to breath normally. The water bottle Twinkler Tanvi is drinking water from is a gift from Suresh Raina. Please see the photos to see their excitement and share their happiness.

Publicity By Cycling By Tr Ram Swaroop of MKRT 181

2011-09-27T14:42:00.003+05:30

Tablers and Circlers,

Publicity is a key thing for Tabling

Heres the latest inductee of MKRT 181 with another tabler of Area 2 who went Cycling on ECR road on sunday 18th September for 28 Kms
Reaxion Cycling Club in Chennai is on a mission to revive cycling.
They organized a cycling competition from Thiruvanmayur to
Mahabalipuram (about 45km) sponsored by BSA. The goal was to select
the top 10 cyclists from this race for the grand cycling race in the
Himalayas next month.

In spite of the heavy rain from the weather gods that night about one
hundred and fifty (150) enthusiastic participants showed up for the
competition on Sunday, September 18 at 4.30 a.m.

Because of the rain the race flagged off from the first toll gate on
ECR, the distance was 28km. We were accompanied by an ambulance and
safety cars for assistance. We were provided with Energy Bars,
Glucose and Water at the checkpoints. I made sure that at every check
point I talked to everyone about MKRT's Logo on my shirt and spread
the good word called "Tabling".

I did this Hercules City Challenge up to Temple Bay (Mahabs) on a
bicycle before. This time it was very special because I was wearing
the Round Table MKRT181's T-Shirt and the other reason is I finished
it after partying hard at Tr. Kaval's (Area 2 IPC) Social till 1:30am
at ALOFT. I must admit that I am kinda proud of myself, I honestly
did not believe that I would make it. At the end of it all a
chartered bus brought us back to the starting point (I slept through
the whole bus ride)...

MKRT 181s 1st dinner meet social a FELLOWSHIP, LAPD EXCERCISE all Together

Tablers and Circlers,

Mkrt 181 had its first dinner meet of the year Hosted by Cr Vineeta and Tr Mukesh at their Home on the 30.07.11

The One of its Kind Dinner Meet Social where there was not only fellowship. But also a active LAPD session with vision wheel Exercise being done by Tr Vinay

Heres a brief report by Vinay

Dear Friends,

The first dinner meet of this tabling year 11-12 of MKRT 181 was a total blast. This meet was hosted by Tr.Mukesh and Vineeta. This was a pajama party and relax we did. We were in total about 17 couples with about 15 children in total about 50 plus people. The meeting started a little late and was a little long too than usual dinner meets because of some important agendas to complete. The moment the meeting ended the hosts house buzzing with music and talking and loud yelling by the kids. On request of the host there was a a simple but a fun game was played with music. It was nothing other than that each lady had to come centre stage choose one Tabler other than her better half :) and dance to the song being played. This was real fun as there was major confusion as each lady had to choose with what they were left with i.e. the great we Tablers. The pictures below speak for them selves. The hospitality as usual was brilliant by the hosts of the night and the food catered by Dhaba Express was simply yummy. Over all the night was a blast and good way to kick start this year'd dinner meets thanks to Mukesh and Vineeta. Together we friends really freaked out this Pajama Party.

Some Pictures captured there.

2011-07-25T21:18:00.000+05:30

Tablers and Cicrlers,

MKRT 181 starts off its new tabling year 2011-2012 with a fellowship.

How true is this saying" Zindagi Miley na Dobara" we all realized this after watching the Film.

Heres a Report form our incoming Chairman Tr Vinay Grandhi

Dear Friends,

22nd July 2011 MKRT 181 experienced its 1st fellowship of the yr 11-12 starting . 181'rs came in as 3 generations & finally we totaled up to 48 heads with 13 tablers + 1 HT + 14 ladies with 13 kids & 7 other family members...As we watched the movie Zindagi Na Mile Dobara we rolled in laughter & also registered that " When you live life live it the way you want to and live it for today !!! ". By intermission the spirits of every 181r were on a high and we already started making plans towards destination "SPAIN" & by the end of the movie we were all set for some sky diving & all set to take part in this awesome festival "La Tomatina " involved with a lot of squeezing,swinging and throwing of tomato's on people :) After the movie we all gathered at the lobby of the theater and took few pics, where we found that some of the Papas amongst us already started trying to score brownie points with the Mammas so that they could go for this all boys trip being planned which is being planned...23rd of July happens to be Nidhi's b'day who is Tr.Amith's wife's & hence we all sang for her the birth day song drawing the attention of the on lookers & ended this awesome 1st fellowship of the year 2011-12 with a big smile on our faces...

Dear Tablers and Circlers

Last night we had our 2nd edition of the Fellowship Basket ( Kaval-sonu,Lanky-suba & Me-Jaya ). Which ever BAS-ket came up with this idea in our table ...................good job. I had my apprehension's when it was proposed but now having gone thru 2 of them baskets I am sure all of you agree it goes a long way in bonding amongst everyone on a micro level, which will eventually lead into the whole table's bonding as well. Suba was missing

What say guys wanna mingle till it tingles......let's finish this round and draw up another lot of Threesomes (aside:- Gaurav, Rahul, Mukesh dont read 3somes, as you would) for 2011.

Cheers

Dear Tablers and Circlers

MKRT 181 did their first community service for the RTI week this year 10-11 on the 10th of Nov'10 by sponsoring lunch for 400 plus orphans at The Ramakrishna mission students home at Mylapore Chennai. These students had their lunch break at 12.10 pm and started their meals by first thanking our very own Tr.Vinay Grandhi who sponsored this lunch and then with a prayer which was really nice to hear.
We had the National President of RT India Tr.Vivek V Prasad amongst us who served the children along with our own Tr.Vinay Grandhi while Chairman Mahesh Dutia and my Self were understanding more about this mission from the Swamiji's in charge there. Over all this service helped us yet again realise the values of life. The evening snack this day was also sponsored by Tr.Vinay. Tablers who haven't attended this service really missed out a very good lunch.

IPL SEMI FINALS FELLOWSHIP

2010-04-24T19:30:00.001+05:30

T20 Cricket Zindabad !!!!!! Yipppeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!! was the feeling of joy during Madras Knights Round Table 181's IPL 3 semi finals fellowship @ our own Dr.Lanky's hotel. A total of 14 tablers ,7 circlers and 6 twinklers were there to cheer CSK team to pull of a victory in the last over. The emotion graph that day was a constant up down but finally stayed on the positive side. The second half was the most exciting and entertaining because all the adults in house and the kids cheered for all the wickets that fell of the BRC's. There was definitely an itch to guess and put a value against CSK not winning the way they performed in their batting that day but none had the heart to do it which turned out finally good because CSK survived from the jaws of a bad loss..... Over all it was an awesome fellowship with some great food and hospitality of Hotel cine city.

Way to go CSK and MKRT 181 !!! There will be a repeat of the same fellowship on the 25th April for the finals at the same venue and hope our cheering along with many other in the world make CSK take the IPL 3 trophy against all odds !!!.... Whistle podunga !!!!

An Evening With Legends

2010-02-10T16:16:00.002+05:30

Tablers and Circlers,
A party hosted by Tr. Rajiv Shah (MKRT 181) & Tr. Uttam (MSRT 159)
It was indeed our pleasure hosting this event and would like to thank the National Board and Area 2 chairman Tr. Prabhat for giving us an opportunity to host this momentous occasion. We had great fun and fellowship in the initial stages of planning for the event; however we did not know if we could actually do justice and had the capability to host an event of such magnitude and importance.
Chairman Area 2 had informed us that this was the one of its kind opportunity where you would get to host all the Legendary Past Presidents of this movement a feat which may not ever be repeated in future. Having taken up the challenge but with fear in mind and to ensure that all would go well and smooth we actually spent some sleepless nights in order to ensure that everything was planned to avoid any shortcomings.
As the day arrived we were informed that 16 Past Presidents, 1 current President and 2 incoming Presidents of this movement would be gracing our party apart from the National and Area Board Members. Now when has this been possible or would ever be possible - we were actually to host 17 Presidents and 2 incoming Presidents.
The parties was scheduled to start by 8.00pm but as the formal session took some time the party actually started the party only by 9.30pm but believe me all the guest were so pepped up and eager to party that in no time we had the dance floor and the DJ rocking the party with some latest dance numbers.
We had our own constrains in terms of the invitees but however ensured that we do our best to reach out to the whole of Area 2 giving them an opportunity to meet and enjoy fellowship with fellow tablers and the Past Presidents.
In the usual Area 2 style (Or should I say the 181 style) the party rocked and we also witness to some great dancing moves by our Past Presidents. It was fellowship at its best what with about 170 heads present it looked like a mini Area AGM. The party went on till late hours and everybody were in such HIGH SPIRITS (so much so that we practically ran out of liquor) but then that is the bonding and fellowship that we share in Area 2. A special mention to our area HT Satish who was at his usual best and ensured that all partied till late and if he had his way maybe the party could never stop.
We would like to again thank the National and Area board for having entrusted us with this wonderful opportunity and hope we have done justice to the faith and trust that you entrusted on
us.

Regards,
King of Goodtimes………….making impossible possible

The Little Genius Club of MKRT 181 on Children’s day the 14th of Nov 2009

2009-11-16T15:59:00.001+05:30

Tablers and Circlers,

Nov 14th the children’s day was a big day for all the twinklers of MKRT 181. For the first time ever twinklers of 181 through the national initiative of Little Genius Club did social service and also had a fellowship amongst them selves and also many other twinklers of other tables by inviting them for a screening of a movie.
This day started of at the Deaf and Dumb section of the Little Flower School, T.Nagar below Anna Salai flyover where our little geniuses donated materials required for embroidery on various forms of textile. There are about 55 grown ups who are all deaf and dumb and they make a living by doing this embroidery on Sari’s, linen and children's clothes. This unit is run and managed by the sisters of this little flower school. Our children really understood how some people are un lucky
but still show only one thing on their faces and that is their wide smile. Our children also gave away biscuits and juices to all of them.
From there we all moved ahead to another section of this school which takes care of 150 plus blind children. Here twinklers of 181 donated some requisites related to their dining hall and also distributed some snacks and drinks.
After finishing these two community services all the children with their mothers with a few tablers headed towards Devi Sree Devi Preview Theater. Here for the first time ever the twinklers of MKRT 181 hosted a fellowship event for the other twinklers of all the other tables of Chennai and Pondichery (Area 2) by organising the screening of the latest Warner brothers kids movie called "Shorts". Before the movie started The Little Genius club of MKRT 181 yet again did another community service the 3rd one for the day through Area 2 Chairman Tr.Prabhat in the presence of Chairman of 181 Sunil, community service convenor 181 Tr.Lankesh, Fellowship convenor and ladies of 181 and gave away scholarships to students enough to cover one full academic years fees to class toppers of 1st, 3rd and 5th Standard of Siragu Montessori school run by the famous NGO Suyam Charitable trust. This NGO was chosen because MKRT 181 had adopted their class room projects as their long term project in the year 2004 and have built all together 9 class rooms for them in slots.
Soon movie time had come but before that it was refreshment time and Parfait 3 Bistro a popular restaurant and bakery from Velachery gave away all the kids and their mothers cookies and Muffins as complimentary for the occasion of
children's day. The children were all set for the movie to roll and roll it did and every body had great fun watching it nonstop without a break. After the movie the fellowship did not end because it was lunch time. Even though it was raining
cats and dogs and it was way pass their lunch time the kids were patient enough to head to Copper chimney restaurant where they all had a good time eating their lunch and running around the whole restaurant.
The little geniuses of MKRT 181 ended their Children’s day by all of them in tandem cutting one cake which was an awesome sight to watch them cut the cake together and singing a impromptu version of Happy children’s day.
It was definitely a happy ending for all of them, their mothers (the ladies of 181) and me for have facilitating these activities for them.
Again this initiative of Little Genius club is an awesome initiative and it definitely gives our kids the platform to understand this moto to the " SERVICE THROUGH FELLOWSHIP " and this is what was translated in to action by the future
generation of Round Table India and our country our twinklers of MKRT 181... :-)
This fellowship couldn’t have been a success without the other tables little geniuses and their mothers who made it for the movie fellowship even though it was raining
So, this was a dream made possible for the little genius club of MKRT181 and we definitely will dream on... to do more activities in the months and years to come....
Shine ON!!!!
