The Tangent Blooms of Bangalore!!!

We had just 1 club in Bangalore for ever so long and suddenly there are 3 of them, vying for a place
among the other 2 cities which have 3 clubs each, namely Delhi and Kolkata.
Tangent 10, Bangalore has worked hard to get 2 more clubs active in their region. The have been the
sponsors for the clubs, Nos. 18 and 19 and special mention needs to be made of this fact.

Tangent 18
At the end of June, when the 41ers of Club 116 decided to have their AGM at Colombo, their ladies who
were gearing up to form a Tangent Club, also decided to have their charter alongside . So it came to be
that for the first time we had a Charter of a club of Tangent India on foreign shores. Tangent Club 18,
Bangalore was chartered on the 25th of June, where the members stepped on to the iridescent shores of
Colombo. An unforgettable evening at a glittering ceremony the Charter certificate was presented by
the VP, 41 Clubs of India Gopal Chopra, to Preeti Asher , Charter Chairperson of Tangent Club 18 with
Anju Kesavan, Charter Secretary by her side. Smita Chopra played a leading role in getting and
garnering the members of this young 18 club.

Tangent 19
Once again we saw a 41 AGM bring on a Charter ceremony of a Tangent Club. The gracious gentlemen
of Club 93 need a special word of praise for this great act of generosity. This time it was some of the
members of LC 19 who were getting together to form Tangent Club 19! A real lucky number for them as
on the Charter night of the 16th of July 2016, they had 19 charter members. It is justifiably so that they
call themselves Forever 19!!!
The evening function was held at the Prestige Golf Resorts at Devanahalli. To grace this occasion, a
galaxy of members from the Tangent National Board were present. President Jayshree Thapar, VP
Kalpana Udaykumar and the National Treasurer, Meena Sharma were all present on this momentous
occasion. The Chairperson and Secretary of the sponsor Club, Tangent 10, Sandhya and Divya were also
part of this history in the making, while Sudha Rao the immediate past chairperson of their club was the
MC for the evening. After the preliminary introductions and greetings, President Jayshree Thapar
presented the Charter to Charter Chairperson Raquel Kareem amidst thunderous applause. This Charter
ceremony was followed by the 41ers AGM. Just as this ended, the Rain Gods descended on us making it
a perfect evening for a Rain Dance , for which no one was prepared unfortunately. It was indeed a very
memorable evening in more ways than one!!!

-Jayashree, President Tangent Club of India

A REPORT ON PONDY AGM- JAWAHAR NICHANI
President Sridharan and I drove down to Pondicherry for the AGM of 41 Club
Pondicherry Elite 139 on June 29th. We had taken GST road and got stuck in
traffic and it took almost 4 hrs. to reach Pondicherry. After the AGM we had a
wonderful fellowship and I must confess that this is one of the best clubs in
the area as not only they meet every month but with new concept of
fellowship. They give fellowship a new meaning. The members are very
warm and their hospitality is at its peak.
41 er Chairman Shivaraj and Secretary Prem Raja had a very fruitful year
and handed over to the 41er new Chairman Harish Nanwani and Secretary
Anand. 41 er Prem Raja and 41er Chairman Shivaraj honoured us and gave us
tremendous welcome. President Sridharan and I highlighted the activities of
the Association of 41 Clubs of India. We also apprised the members to attend
the national AGM/HYM at Bangalore on October 14th, 15th and 16th. We
also gave them the insight of attending the national and international AGMs
and how it enhances the friendship and fellowship.
After the AGM They had a new variation of Karaoke where the original tune
was played, the members and the guests had to inform the song which was
copied from the original music.41er Prem Raja as we know from the tabling
days is an asset to this 41 club and along with 41er Shiva raj have taken this
club to greater heights and I am proud of this club . "You can never cross the
ocean unless you have the courage to lose the sight of the shore."
There are 5 Honorary Members of Pondicherry Elite 41 Club No: 139:
1. Mr. Rheeman S.J (Leading Architect) 2. Mr.Ravichander K.V (Owner of
Distilleries) 3. Mr.Chandran.V.J (Senior Superintendent of Police, Govt.of
Puducherry) 4. Zeganadin Paul (French Pensioner) 5. Mr.Vaithianathan.K
(Jeweler & Bus Transporter). These 5 honorary members are the key in
propelling the fellowship in this wonderful club. They really enjoy the
fellowship and it is a pleasure to meet them. I remember when Past President
Manoj Kapoor had visited Pondicherry we had a extensive fellowship at
Zeganadin paul's house. Some of them were also honorary members in RTI in
the yester years.

hectic activities and the month of July has been most productive from the angle of expansion and extension

Ludhiana has brought in 16 new members lead by Chairman Narender Agarwal and Secretary Sudeept, which has
great potential to become the nucleus of our 41 movement in the Punjab and Haryana.

membership of 7, with the assurance that they will increase to health no of 12. Here again the seven samurais as
they call themselves is a very talented lot with vast experience in the art of tabling and will be a valuable support
to our movement.
All these Charters were blessed by no other than our caring and able President Chettiar, who has visited our Area 5
for the 3rd time on our invitation. He has been a Great inspirational source to our Area and we are extremely
thankful to him and the First Lady Rajeshwari.
