It is aptly
said that destiny beckons.
Before I became a Rotarian, my idea of a club was a place one
visited to have a good time. When I returned to Rajkot from
Mumbai, I thought it would be nice to have fun and meet people
every week. And what could be better than to join Rotary - an
ideal platform to meet the cream de la cream of society.
I joined when Dr Vibhakarbhai Vachhrajani was the president. He
casually asked me to come for a medical camp. Witnessing the
cheerful, selfless services opened the door of service for me.
On that day, I stopped being just a member and became a
Rotarian.
Little did I realise that this one decision of mine will have
far reaching impact on my life. Within days of joining Rotary
club of Rajkot Midtown, I realised what a motivated lot we
were...! Never had I seen such dynamism, optimism and enthusiasm
in people doing social work for purely selfless motives. I
started looking forward to meeting such wonderful people week
after week. Slowly I started realising the very wide spectrum of
activity that our club is doing. More I came to know, greater
became the joy of participation. I had opened the hidden
treasure of service and satisfaction that is MIDTOWN. Never had
I dreamt that Rotary would take precedence over my profession as
it does sometimes today.
I am also grateful to Rotary for giving me many local and
international friends whose friendship I shall cherish for life
and who are a constant source of inspiration. I shudder to
imagine how empty my life would have been without my wonderful
friends from Rotary. It is indeed humbling to see very busy
people doing so much service quietly and incessantly. And I am
happy to be an integral part of this group.
I am today a truly proud Midtowner.
