life moves onward."

In a look-back at the successful completion of ththe 7 edition of Taare' Zameen Par, Event

Chairman PP Rtn. B.S.Ravikumar said last Thursday that it was extremely satisfying for him that the event has grown from strength to strength over the years – whether it was the planning, design or execution. He personally thanked Rotarians Kaleem, Sunil and indeed each one who has been directly or indirectly behind the success of the event. TZP started off with less than 200 participants and today it has nearly 800 from 18 schools, and each one of them were given prizes or mementos, he said. The auditorium was jam-packed with satisfied parents and well-wishers. He thanked PDG Lakshminarayan for the auditorium, the transport facility providers – NIE, NIE-IT, Vijaya Vittala, Chaitra, Rotary

School etc – and the drivers for their promptness and service. Special words to Mission Hospital for their First Aid service, kudos to the photographers, Inner Wheelers, Soften Infoscions, Rotaractors, and all the Rotarians who made this happen, he said. Hats off to the parents of the kids for their unbridled caring and affection, to the teachers for their infinite patience, making us ask the poignant question on the ways of the Creator! On behalf of Rotary Mysore, PDG R. Guru and PDG M. Lakshminarayan handed over flowers to each and every one behind the event. Rtn. Kaleem was honoured for his selfless service to TZP over the years. The meeting ended with Rtn. Kaleem apty quoting Allama Iqbal, indicating that what we have done is only the tip of the iceberg, and there are miles to go before we sleep.

Sitaron Se Agey Jahan Aur Bhi Hain, Abhi Ishq Ke Imtihan Aur Bhi Hain

Tehi, Zindagi Se Nahin Ye Fazaen, Yahan Saikron Karwan Aur Bhi Hain

Other Worlds exist beyond the Stars, More tests of Love are still to come.

This vast space does not lack Life, Hundreds of other Caravans are here.
