BOARDS VVVOOOIIICCCEEE OOOFFF TTTHHHEEE BBBOOOAAARRRDDDSSS \"The beautiful journey of Today can begin when we learn to let go of yesterday\". Rotaract Club has always been a family to me, a family which keeps growing and spreading its love and enthusiasm all around the corner. 'Rotaract is not only a club', but it's also way beyond that. If we Boards take a decision or plan for something then its execution is only possible because each and every member of the club gives their full energy and heart to complete that task or event. We as a club are one family of more than hundred plus people and each of them possesses some or the other uniqueness. Together we've archived many of our targets and have done a lot of events and have executed our unique ideas. Rotaract club is something that polishes your personality and pushes you to conquer you're fears and limits. Together we've cried, laughed, made memories, and also learned important life lessons and that is what makes Rotaract auspicious for each of us. Lastly, I would like to say to each of the members, 'Always have a unique character like Salt, its Presence is not felt but its Absence makes everything Tasteless '.So, shine with your personality, learn new things through the club and feel proud to be called a ROTARACTOR. Rtr. Nidhi Singh Cultural Coordinator (2022-23) 06|THE PRIDORA | MAY 2023

POEM My First Love He traced each of her scars with his fingers Slowly made his way into her soul Lifting the veil of insecurities And looking under to find a vulnerable woman Who has always hid behind the crowd Thinking that all that people will do is look at her flaws But all he saw were the tinted pink cheeks which had freckles on them The hesitant yet charming smile Her raw beauty amazed him The look on his face did a favour to her A favour of letting go of her doubts she had about herself Even between the chaotic society judging her for her appearance She finally found someone who looked beyond all of this, someone who looked right into her soul. Rtr. Ekta Soni 08|THE PRIDORA | MAY 2023

POEM Motivation Born in a world, Born in a time Wherever I see, hopes are shattering. Life is struggle and struggle is life, But something inside me always keeps me alive. Each day is a battle, some battles won but some lost Yet hopes for the coming days are high Hardwork and Patience, Consistency and Perseverance, The keys for success,will never let me fail. The access to these keys is my Motivation And the Motivation comes from my dream Dreaming high of a Better Future, And a Prosperous and Philanthropical life. Let failure hit constantly, Because I know that success hits once on all of them. When the Divine will want, All the dreams will eventually come true. Till then letting the flame of success burn inside me Overcoming all my fears and weaknesses, Cherishing my dream, my Motivation everyday, Rising again after every failure, and becoming the best version of myself ! Rtr. Sanchay kumar 09 | THE PRIDORA |MAY 2023

POEM Motivation Is against me Excites like Heaven, next day..... betrays like Hell. Gives me Hope, next day.....failed to Cope. I Broke with my current loop, just to stay with you. Meanwhile, you left me.. You offend me bitterly with no direction ahead. And that's how I alligned myself again with my past days ..... Its been a long time, You're challenging my patience. Fed up with your double face, Now, \"wanna hear your answer\" Until I ascertain..... It's my own Voice, own Comfort, own Self image. Keeping me away with my Destination. Now, I got you(motivation). You are meant for a moment, not for a journey. Still, I would say 'you are not worth to believe... Because you are too quick to Deceive'. Rt r. Noor Moquaddsa 10|THE PRIDORA | MAY 2023

POEM The 90's Elegant ,old and yet classic Yes I am talking about that 90's Though being Gen Z I cherish the memories of 90's. The decade that was the beginning and the end of so many things; That change,that drift many of us were a part of it. The time when music and melodies were enough to get us moving ; I miss the culture and language the most, devoid of facade Like a twenty -four carat gold. The time when words used to carry emotions Not anyone's mere sarcasm Now most of the things loosing it's authenticity, Because most of us are lost in our own vanity. Unlike the 90's now everyone wears a mask I guess , Either one is happy or sad it's not that easy to tell now I guess. Rtr. Animesh Kumar 11 | THE PRIDORA |MAY 2023

POEM एक खूबसूरत एहसास तुम हो लिहाज़ रखू क्योंकि मेरी मिजाज़ तुम हो इश्क़ के इस समुंदर में मैं तो डूबा पर जो पार कर गयी वो जहाज़ तुम हो। मेरा पहला प्यार तुम हो.. पहला प्यार तुम हो। ठु करा के मेरा प्यार चली गयी यह कह की अड्डेबाज़ तुम हो मेरा पहला प्यार तुम हो.. पहला प्यार तुम हो। तुझे देख मेरा मन यू बेहेल गया ये तेरा प्यार था या Xavier's का attendance जो अधूरा ही रह गया। On a serious note \"To love someone is very easy, to trust someone is very difficult.\"- Unknown. Rtr Hitesh Kumar 12|THE PRIDORA | MAY 2023

POEM आज भी मुझे याद है, अपना वो पहला प्यार बहुत लम्बे वक्त से, जिस बात का था इंतज़ार | वो प्यार मुझे मिला था जब मैंने किया था, सातवीं पास, पहली बार उसे देखकर मेरी आँखे चमक उठी थीं, उसकी भी चमक झलक रही थी। मैं भी उसकी हाथों में हाथ डाले घूमा करता था सारा दिन । उसके साथ रहने का आनंद कई बार मेरे दोस्तों को जला देती थी मेरे इस प्यार को देख दोस्तों की इरशा साफ झलक उठती थी। उनका मन भी ललचाता था उससे मिलने, उसे छू ने को। आज भी याद है मुझे वह पहला प्यार ! आज वो हो गई है, थोड़ी पुरानी चमक भी पड़ गई है फीकी पर मैंने उसे खोया नहीं आज भी वह मेरे घर के गॅरेज में पड़ी है। Rtr.

WHAT AM I DOING NOW? DIGITAL MARKETING In a world of 8 billion individuals, each with their unique perspectives and ideas, the potential for innovation and creativity is boundless. However, An idea combined with successful execution can change the world. An idea by itself is worthless. 2021 was a good year for me when it came to great ideas. The only problem is I never did anything with them. Embarking on my college journey, I made a decision to enroll in a Digital Marketing Course at UpGrads, as I wanted to persuade my career in the field of Marketing after my Bachelor's. One evening, after our classes, we were chilling at a cozy café in the company of a few close friends from college. It was during this casual gathering that inspiration struck, and I couldn't resist sharing my ambitious idea of establishing a Digital Marketing Company. To my delight, each of my friends wholeheartedly embraced the idea, eagerly offering their support and commitment. After three consecutive days of intensive research, we aptly named our new venture \"The Social Tree.\" The name stemmed from our belief that just like a tree flourishes with interconnected branches, our company could facilitate the growth of businesses through the integration of social media platforms and online marketing strategies. Countless hours were devoted to brainstorming ideas, devising unique marketing strategies for our clients, and building our company from scratch. We offered attracting prices, which attracted business owners to work with us. The Social Tree has now surpassed the milestone of 10 delighted clients, having successfully delivered over 15 remarkable projects. Operating across three vibrant Indian cities—Jamshedpur, Ranchi, and Bangalore—and catering to international clients from the USA, The Social Tree is spreading its branches into new horizons, embracing fresh ventures, and making a profound impact on the digital marketing realm. Our remarkable journey stands as a testament to the fact that with unwavering passion, relentless perseverance, and a clear vision, even the most towering trees can sprout from the tiniest seed. 16|THE PRIDORA | MAY 2023 Regards, Rtr.
