X factor and I how I felt

All the ingredients for a fine contest! Great ambience, great audience and a jury to match! There was energy and enthusiasm in the air. I didn’t know what to expect… all the worthy champions from all the areas were ready and prepared this time around with funny quotes and acts that had people gripping their sides in laughter. It was a competition worth contesting, thoroughly enjoyable and nerve wracking for a while too! All the good performances were followed by great ones. The ladies were giving the guys a run for their money.

When i was called on to perform, I just decided to have fun! I let loose and had a good time, and from the looks of it, so did everyone else. Cheers of “Once more… once more” obviously were a great feeling and to have performed in front of such a responsive audience always gives one a high whether you win or not.
Unfortunately, goa played spoil sport and the organisers had to shut off the competition early but nevertheless, everyone had a chance to take it through the talent round and give it their best shot.

Time to call out the winners name and when they said “Ameet Mirpuri” it was such a bunch of mixed feelings…of achievement, of pride for my area, of success when holding that great looking trophy in my hand… and off course, “yippeeeee” for that fabulous first prize watch… sorry to sound materialistic, but that’s what it was… haha!!!
The recognition and love that I received after that from even the tablers and circlers I didn’t know was just unparalleled by any other feeling I have ever felt in tabling. It was the first national AGM I had ever attended and I vowed I’d make it the first of many more to come. Its so true what our 41ers say… “Tabling brings meaning when friends become family.”

Cheers to the Round Table!!!

Madras Knights meet Salman

Watch the Grand Fellowship we had with Bollywood Star, Salman Khan, courtesy our Hon.Tr.Sanjay Ramaswamy and Mr.Boney Kapoor. The kids had a great time meeting Salman Khan but I believe the ladies had a greater time as they met thier Bollywood favourite Salman Khan.

A big thanks to Salman for giving his time during a busy shoot schedule and a very special thanks to Mr.Boney Kapoor and our very own Sanjay Ramaswamy who made all this possible.

Random thoughts of a new Tabler

August 4th 1993, the day I joined my alma mater Armed Forces Medical College, Pune. The one thing that was inculcated in our minds in that beautiful college was “once an AFMC-ite, always an AFMC-ite”. After which, never did I have a second thought of being a part of any other association/institution/movement as wonderful as AFMC.
Tr.Dr.Raghu Yelavarthi, Vizag RT 77

It was on the 14th of September 2007, I was inducted into VRT-77 and thus, a meaningful movement called Round Table India, with a touch of friendship. The sense of belonging I had years ago with AFMC came back to my heart in a surge for RTI, with so many good people around me with one common goal, “service through fellowship”. All said and done, soon I was on a train to attend the NAGM at Goa. WONDERFUL!! FABULOUS!! FANTASTIC!! These are a few words with which I could attribute the fellowship I had with my fellow tablers and their families throughout the journey and my stay at Goa. I would cherish that one trip for my life.

A vibrant community of people awaited for us at Goa from all nooks and corners of the country. Never did I see such a gathering of like-minded individuals for a simple reason… fellowship and service. The fun and the interaction apart, the high point of my trip was receiving the BOB-CHANDRAN AWARD, believe me…. I had goose bumps!!!

Destiny – so much in the world depends on this one factor and yet a word so unreal. Of late, the word is being used to indicate the presence of respected people at expected places and of people unheard at unexpected places. In short, an attempt is being made to simplify the whole issue by use of just one word – destiny. Nevertheless, the presence of my simple soul at the NAGM was my destiny, for in the years to come by it would make me belong to a community of people and such lovely friends who I thought never existed outside my alma-mater AFMC.

The long and short of it, as my days from AFMC rolled by and I have come all this way to associate myself with this movement and the NAGM, which in the years to come by, will serve as a reminder, until the end of time. There are no words on earth that can describe the feeling when we were all together. And, as the days go by we grasp the tender moments, the times we spent as one. We savor our accomplishments and the projects we have begun as a table.

But… we cant escape the loving thought that “we are tablers” and as for me, “ONCE A TABLER, ALWAYS A TABLER”
