HYPNOTIQUE 39 Years FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION ONLY Prof. ROOSHIKUMAR PANDYA Never Born. Never Died. Visited Planet Earth between 27th March 1939 13th April 2013 -2- THE HYPNOTIQUE CIRCLE MADRAS 39 Years Block S-27 C, Rainbow Flats, Ponnambalam Salai, K K Nagar, Chennai 78 PROF ROOSHI BIDS ADIEU! Prof. Rooshikumar Pandya presented a Training Program on Hypnosis in Chennai in July 1974. That was the frst scientifc program on Hypnosis in the whole of India. The participants felt so happy that they thought it ft to start a Circle to keep the message alive and also pass them on to a large number of people in the Society. Thus came in to being our Hypnotique Circle, Madras. Since 1974, Prof. Rooshi had made it a point to visit Chennai at least once a year and our Circle had used all those occasions by organizing a Training Program conducted by him on various topics like: Self Hypnosis Hypnotherapy Body Language Dream Analysis Stress Management Communication Skills Assertiveness Training Setting and Achieving Goals 30 years back, he used to present free introductory lectures on Hypnosis in Hotel Adyar Gate ( now called Park Sheraton ). More -3- than 200 people would participate in Mowbrays Hall, the largest hall of the Hotel. Prof. Rooshi would ask all those participants to ask all their questions regarding Hypnosis. And there would be minimum 50 different questions on all aspects of Hypnosis. Without noting or jotting down any of those questions in ink, but keeping them all in memory, he would start answering all of them one by one without missing a single one of them in the next 2 hours. Occasionally, he would point out a participant in some corner and tell him : This was your question. Now, this is the answer for your question. Literally and fguratively, every single participant in the hall would be mesmerized and spell bound by his memory power, knowledge of the subject, command over language, sense of humour, including his long, Samson-like, wavy hair style ! Prof. Rooshikumar Pandya is acknowledged by professionals as Communicator par excellence. He was also affectionately addressed as Rooshi in his training programs. A multi faceted personality, in his two days training program, he used to come attired in western lounge suit on one day and in Indian Pyjama Kurta the next day. Prof Rooshi enjoyed eating raw green chillies as snacks; He held a black belt in Judo. An ardent student and exponent of Sitar, he used to dearly carry the 6 feet long instrument and place it next to his seat in the fight, buying one more ticket; brimming with a well timed sense of humour, he cracked jokes, left, right and center on any topic that he addressed; found time to spend with all his participants even till midnight after presenting a full day training program. Members of Hypnotique Circle have the pleasant memories of having him as Chief Guest in their 30th and 35th Anniversary Celebrations. In fact, on those occasions, people have queued up to take photos with him, when he was hardly left with half an hour to reach the Airport from T Nagar. Absolutely unperturbed, -4- TRIBUTES TO PROF. ROOSHIKUMAR PANDYA 1939-2013 Mr S Narayanan and Dr Sumathi Narayanan, Founder Members of our Circle and Mr Muthiah Ramanathan, President paid rich tributes to our Founder President Prof. Rooshikumar Pandya and recalled many poignant instances from their personal association with him over a period of 30 to 40 years.

Two minutes silence was observed in his memory in our April meeting. he was all smiles and was enjoying the whole scenario. When he was reminded of his fight, he would quip, I know, you will see to it that I boarded the fight. Such was his trust on all of us ! Muthiah Ramanathan had the personal privilege of making Prof. Rooshi to take Life Insurance for the frst time in his life, when he was 50. Prof. Rooshi was always the center of attraction and the cynosure of everyones eyes. He will continue to enthrall, enrich and guide us, albeit invisibly. Hypnotique Circle misses him dearly.

Ganesan One day all the employees reached the offce and they saw a big advice on the door on which it was written: Yesterday the person who has been hindering your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral which is about to start in the gym. In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while they started getting curious to know who was that man who hindered the growth of his colleagues and the company itself. The excitement in the gym was such that security agents were ordered to control the crowd within the room. The more people reached the coffn, the more the excitement heated up. Everyone thought: Who is this guy who was hindering my progress? Well, at least he died!. One by one the thrilled employees got closer to the coffn, and when they looked inside it they suddenly became speechless. They stood nearby the coffn, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. There was a mirror inside the coffn: everyone who looked inside it could see himself. There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your growth: it is YOU. You are the only person who can revolutionize your life. You are the only person who can infuence your happiness, your realization and your success. You are the only person who can help yourself. Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your partner changes, when your company changes. Your life changes when -9- YOU & LIFE - SUPERB MORAL STORY - By Mr Showkat Ali Once an Emperor called upon all of his wise men and asked them, Is there any magical saying which works in every situation, in every circumstances, in every place and in every time. In every joy, every sorrow, every defeat and every victory? One answer for all questions? Something which can help me when none of you is available to advise me? All the Emperors advisers were baffed by the question. They all agreed on one solution on the suggestion of a learned scholar. Who gave them a note to be given to the Emperor. And the note was to be opened whenever the the Emperor was in trouble. Just a few days after, he was attacked by the neighboring country. The Emperor and his army fought bravely but were still losing the battle & the Emperor was trying to run away on his mount. The enemies were following him getting closer and closer. Suddenly the Emperor found himself standing at the end of the road - that road was not going anywhere. Underneath there was a rocky valley thousand feet deep. YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life. The most important relationship you can have, is the one you have with yourself. Examine yourself, watch yourself. Dont be afraid of diffculties, impossibilities and losses: be a winner, build yourself and your reality. The world is like a mirror: it gives back to anyone the refection of the thoughts in which one has strongly believed. The world and your reality are like mirrors laying in coffns, which show to any individual, the death of his divine capability to imagine and create his happiness and his success. Its the way you face Life that makes the difference. -10- If he jumped into it, he would be fnishedand he could not return because it was a small roadthe sound of enemys horses was approaching fast. The Emperor became restless. There seemed to be no way. Then he remembered the note given to him by his loyal advisers and he opened it. It read .....THIS TOO SHALL PASS... The Emperor read it, again and again. Suddenly something struck him Yes! THIS TOO WILL PASS. Only a few days ago, I was enjoying my rule. I was the mightiest of all the Emperors. Yet today, the empire and all its pleasures have gone. I am here trying to escape from enemies. Like those days of luxuries have gone, this day of danger too will pass. A calm came on his face. He kept standing there. The place was full of natural beauty. The realization of the message had a great impact on him. He relaxed and forgot about those following him. After a few minutes he realized the noise of the horses and the enemy coming was receding. They moved to some other part of the mountains and were nowhere near him. The Emperor was brave. He reorganized his army and fought again. He defeated the enemy and regained his empire. When he returned to his empire after victory he was received with much fanfare. The whole capital was rejoicing his victory. Everyone was in a festive mood. Flowers were being showered on the Emperor from every house, from every corner. For a moment, the Emperor said to himself, I am the bravest and the greatest Emperor. It is not easy to defeat me. With all the reception and celebration he saw an ego emerge in him. At that moment something clicked his mind and he opened the note and read it again. This too shall pass! -11- LEARNING TO LIVE WITHOUT RECOGNITION IS A SKILL Compiled by Mr S. Narayanan There was a farmer who had a horse and a goat..One day, the horse became ill. So he called the veterinarian, who said: Well, your horse has a virus. He mus...t take this medicine for three days. Ill come back on the 3rd day and if hes not better, were going to have to put him down. Nearby, the goat listened closely to their conversation. The next day, they gave the horse the medicine and left. The goat approached the horse and said: Be strong, my friend. Get up or else theyre going to put you to sleep! On the second day, they again gave the horse the medicine and left. The goat came back and said: Come on buddy, get up or else youre going to die! Come on, Ill help you get up. Lets go! One, two, three... On the third day, they came to give the horse the medicine and He became silent. His face went through a total change from the egoist he moved to a state of utter humiliation. If this too is going to pass, it is not yours. The defeat is not yours; the victory is not yours. You are just a watcher. Everything passes by. We are witnesses of all this. Life comes and goes. Happiness comes and goes. Sorrow comes and goes. Now as you have read this story, just sit silently and evaluate your own life. This too shall pass. Think of the moments of joy and victory in your life. Think of the moments of sorrow and defeat. Are they permanent? They all come and pass away. Moral: This life is so temporary, all it enjoyments and sorrows will fnish one day. The only thing which will remain is our deeds and how we acted during the times of prosperity and adversity. -12- the vet said: Unfortunately, were going to have to put him down tomorrow. Otherwise, the virus might spread and infect the other horses. After they left, the goat approached the horse and said: Listen pal, its now or never! Get up, come on! Have courage! Come on! Get up! Get up! Thats it, slowly! Great! Come on, one, two, three... Good, good. Now faster, come on...... Fantastic! Run, run more! Yes! Yay! Yes! You did it, youre a champion...!!! All of a sudden, the owner came back, saw the horse running in the feld and began shouting: Its a miracle! My horse is cured. We must have a grand party. Lets kill the goat!!!! The Lesson: Nobody truly knows which employee actually deserves the merit of success, or whos actually contributing the necessary support to make things happen. Remember: LEARNING TO LIVE WITHOUT RECOGNITION IS A SKILL!!!! If anyone ever tells you that your work is unprofessional, remember: AMATEURS BUILT THE ARK [which saved all the species] and PROFESSIONALS BUILT THE TITANIC [all died tragically] An excerpt from THE PEBBLE IN THE SHOE 5 STEPS TO A SIMPLE AND CONFIDENT LIFE by Mr Jim Fannin There is one thing for sure in your life. Twelve months from now you will either be better or worse. You wont be the same. Will it be a roller-coaster ride to what you want, will it be two steps forward and one step back, or will you just go straight to your goals and visions? Whats holding you back from business success, marital -13- bliss or parenting nirvana? More than likely its under the radar or below the surface of what you think. Maybe, its like a pebble in your shoe thats irritating, uncomfortable, nagging and eventually crippling. The average person has thoughts per day. On the days where life seems out of control and the tail is wagging the dog, you may have 4,000 thoughts. Most thoughts are about the past. However, a great proportion of them are focused on the future. You cannot hold a future and a past-tense thought at the same time. It is one or the other. And a few thoughts are locked-in the moment. As you get older, present tense thinking diminishes. Throw in the cell phone, voicemails, e-mails, Tweets, Facebook, texts, FedEx, fax and world news in real time, its no wonder present-tense living is dwindling. Most pebbles originate from the past - most of them being negative. You can have experiences as far back as childhood that still tiptoe into your subconscious mind. They can even penetrate the consciousness of our daily actions. Over and over, we can play past tense thoughts that weigh negatively on our mind. They begin so innocently. Some are based on fact while other thoughts are based on assumption. Some are not true at all. Most are based on fear. You have either positive or negative thoughts, but you cant think them at the same time. And the best news of all is you have free will to have any thought you choose. However, some negative thoughts can creep into your mind like a pebble in your shoe. Like a puppeteer, your thoughts pull the strings of all your actions -14- LISTEN WITH AN OPEN MIND - by Mr K. Ravi A teacher teaching Maths to seven-year-old Laiq asked him, If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, How many apples will you have? Within a few seconds Laiq replied confdently, Four! The dismayed teacher was expecting an effortless correct answer (three). She was disappointed. Maybe the child did not listen properly, she thought. She repeated, Laiq, listen carefully. If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have? Laiq had seen the disappointment on his teachers face. He calculated again on his fngers. But within him he was also searching for the answer that will make the teacher happy. His search for the answer was not for the correct one, but the one that will make his teacher happy. This time hesitatingly he replied, Four The disappointment stayed on the teachers face. She remembered that Laiq liked strawberries. She thought maybe he doesnt like apples and that is making him loose focus. This time with an exaggerated excitement and twinkling in her eyes she asked, If I give you one strawberry and one strawberry and one strawberry, then how many you will have? Seeing the teacher happy, young Laiq calculated on his fngers again. There was no pressure on him, but a little on the teacher. She wanted her new approach to succeed. With a hesitating smile young Laiq replied, Three? The teacher now had a victorious smile. Her approach had succeeded. She wanted to congratulate herself. But one last -15- thing remained. Once again she asked him, Now if I give you one apple and one apple and one more apple how many will you have? Promptly Laiq answered, Four! The teacher was aghast. How Laiq, how? she demanded in a little stern and irritated voice. In a voice that was low and hesitating young Laiq replied, Because I already have one apple in my bag. Moral: When someone gives you an answer that is different from what you expect dont think they are wrong. There may be an angle that you have not understood at all. You will have to listen and understand, but never listen with a predetermined notion. PSYCHOLOGY OF DOOR Ever walk into a room with some purpose in mind, only to completely forget what that purpose was? Turns out, doors themselves are to blame for these strange memory lapses. Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have discovered that passing through a doorway triggers whats known as an Event Boundary in the mind, separating one set of thoughts and memories from the next. Your brain fles away the thoughts you had in the previous room and prepares a blank slate for the new locale. Thank goodness for studies like this. Its not our age, its those doors! -16- 2.15 pm : Registration 2.29 pm : Welcome Address 2.35 pm : Self In(tro)duction by Members and Guests 2.45 pm : Its my Choice - Respond Vs React - Ms Usha Rao, Corporate Trainer 4.15 pm : Tea 4.40 pm : Creative Problem Solving - Mr G.Ganesan, Joint Secretary 5.10 pm : Magic of Merrily Making Mistakes - Major V V Narayanan 5.40 pm : Mass Relaxation Hypnotique Circle (Madras) Cordially invites all its Members and Guests for the Monthly Meeting on Sunday, the 12th May 2013 at Hotel Palmgrove, Kodambakkam High Road, Chennai - 34 * Free for Members * Guest Investment Rs 150/- B o o k - P o s t If undelivered, please return to : Mr. J.UMEDMAL BAFNA, Old # 2, New # 3, Akbar Sahib St, Triplicane, Chennai - 600005.
