EUNOIA
FROM THE EDITOR
I vividly remember – it was our first All-hands ADs call with
our most beloved Division Director DTM Jennifer Ghosh.
When she asked us “Guys, do you have any suggestions or
questions?”. I responded “Jenny di, I am planning to have
my Area level Newsletter, what do you think?”. She
exclaimed “Brilliant idea!”. I was more than happy. Then
she suffixed it with “Better still, why don’t you come up
with our Division H Quarterly newsletter!” Well,
excitement, happiness and extreme nervousness are few
of the initial emotions I experienced when she gave me this
daunting task.
But I must say that the process and product both have
surpassed my expectations. I would like to express my
deepest gratitude to the Trio – District Director, DTM
Mukesh Kulothia, Club Growth Director, DTM Deepak
Sharma and Program Quality Director DTM Pallav Verma
for their constant support and encouragement in each and
every facet of this newsletter and also our District 41
clubs. I can’t thank beloved Division Director DTM
Jennifer Ghosh enough for being the wind beneath our
wings. A big shout out to all my fellow Area Directors (AD
Anirban, AD Annesha, AD Vaibhav) who inspite of their
hectic work schedules encouraged their clubs to come
forth and contribute to this newsletter.
As far as this first issue goes, the starting point was what
would the Newsletter be called? We had a mini “Name-thebaby” kind of a competition as suggested by DTM Jennifer.
I was extremely pleased with her pick as it was my personal
favorite as well – “EUNOIA” (a Greek word, meaning "well
mind" or "beautiful thinking") – It was as if the Newsletter
chose its own name ! Thank you TM Sweta Gupta (Tech
Mahindra Toastmasters Club, Bhubaneswar) – one of the
most sincere and passionate Toastmasters I have met.
I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to my Team of
magicians who have worked extremely hard in a packed
schedule with their work, Club and Area level contests,
personal life – you name it !
TM Sangeeta Pattanaik (Editor, Tech Mahindra
Toastmasters Club, Bhubaneswar) – Her smile would light
up a dark room and one of the most warm persons I have
come across.
Amrapali Patnaik, Editor in Chief
TM Smita Pati (Graphic Designer, Infosys
Toastamasters Bhubaneswar, SEZ) – Hardworking and
focused. She is one of the few persons who flourish under
pressure – Kudos to you!
TM Medha Hossain (Publicist, In-Steel Community Club,
Jamshedpur) – She would touch you by her innocence
and vibrancy. One of the youngest members of
Toastmasters but also one of the grittiest as well!
TM Sandeep Prasad (Publicist, In-Steel Community
Club, Jamshedpur) – Sandeep has been one of the most
positive Toastmasters around - Silent yet resilient!
TM Chetna Verma (Proof Reader, In-Steel Community
Club, Jamshedpur) – Chetna Mam is one of the most
approachable persons I have met. You cannot help
noticing the positive vibrations she exudes.
TM Deepika Jain (Content Manager, Salt Lake
Toastmasters Club, Kolkata) – She holds lot of promise
not only as Toastmaster but also as a Content Manager.
TM Jahangeer (Proof Reader, Salt Lake Toastmasters
Club, Kolkata) – He holds a great attitude and comes out
as a very driven individual
TM Ankit Mishra (Graphics Designer, TCS Maitree
Bhubaneswar Toastmasters Club) – Passionate and a gogetter. But Ankit fell sick with Jaundice and could only
provide moral support to the team ! We are looking
forward for you to be back into action!
We would be looking forward for your articles, ideas,
success stories, events, feedback and suggestions to
[email protected] . We would be eagerly
waiting to hear from you
.
Let all the great minds come together and I wish you all to
have an enjoyable read !
