“You cannot teach a man anything. You can only help him discover it within himself"
--Galileo Galilei

 If your  first impression becomes the best impression, everything else becomes easy. On 6th morning we got from the train with the thoughts about getting autos to reach the venue.   

What got the attention of us was just 4 letters written on a paper and held overhead.  "ZTWS".   Yeah.  The host were waiting there to pick us up.   What a great way to start!. Later we learnt that, it was our zone 24 host Jc Thirumala who did that magic to us. We  met host President Jc Damodhar and few other hosts there. 

From that moment, till we came back on Sunday night to the same railway station, we  were taken care every minute.

Even though we had so many sleepless nights, if we go to the hall in the night for some dissuasion or preparation with our friends,  our hosts will also be there.    They could have made arrangements, given their phone numbers and gone back to sleep, But they stayed back with us. ZVP Jc Rajabakshi Sir,  ZVP Jc Prakash Sir, Jc Thirumala and many more were  present there talking to us, helping us. Their very presence meant a lot to us. 

This kind gesture gave us lots of  motivation to do well.

The  four day training program under the pilot ship of Jc K Krisha Murthy Sir along with co-pilots Jc Alakananda Madam and Jc Jaychand Bafna Sir involved so many inputs, activities, output sessions which kept us fully occupied and brought out the best from us.

The faculty team also ensured that we kept our mind cool with physical exercise, yoga and meditation sessions in the mornings.

Before every major output session,  Jc  K Krisha Murthy Sir and Jc Jaychand Bafna Sir helped us to relax through wonderful music and other techniques.

We had good time mingling with other participants working us teams and pairs and helping each. It had given us many new friends too.  There was a sangama of Tamil(Zone17) and Kannada (Zone14, 24) happening.


Thanks a lot to JCI for such an insightful program.

“People without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots”
 

------- Marcus Garvey

Most of the JCI  programs happens at Chapter level.  Some happen at multi chapter level, few happen at Zone level, very few happen at the state level.

For administrative purpose, the Jaycees of Karnataka are grouped to Zone 14, 15 and Zone 24.

How  nice if  all the Jaycees of the  historic Karnataka come together for a "festival of culture".    There will be so many unique dances to watch, songs to hear and sports to participate.   All these along with the special Cuisine of our state completes the festival!

The Karnataka festival of culture gave opportunity for all the Jaycees from Zone 14, 15 and 24 to come together and have valuable time.

We all enjoyed the hospitality of our Coorg  friends.  It was  a joy to be part of this program.
