Tr. Vinamra Jallan, Area 12 Chairman (Elect) AREA 12 TEXT Nucleus – The Beginning was the theme for the Area 12 TExT held at Pushkar on19-20 May 2018. The program started sharp at 11 am although we did not have full strength, instead of waiting of others to join we placed posters around the hall with quotes from great personalities. Fellow participants were advised to go around and read these quotes, connect themselves to a quote they feel co-related to themselves and we had a discussion on the same taking one participant at a time with all joining the conversation. Once we had everyone in the hall it followed by our Current Area Chairman Tr. Abhinav Wadhwa starting the proceedings with the lightning of lamp and introduced the Incoming Area Chairman Tr. Vinamra Jallan and also the facilitators of the program Sq. Leg Varindar Singh (Bobby), Tr. Moriya Philip & Tr. Vijay Johar. Facilitators took the stage with a round of Introductions which followed by group picture and lunch. Post Lunch the facilitators divided the participants into teams and we had rounds of different ice breaking activities, energisers and team building exercises which made the participants sit back and think on their own way of doing things and out of the box thinking. The group then had to split and we had specific sessions for incoming Chairman’s, Secretaries and Convenors respectively. It was this time of the program that each participant was able to get his respective role clarity and know the job well. The classroom session ended here and thereafter it was fellowship unlimited with great bonding all around which was also the core purpose of the program. Also to fight the inner fear the facilitators had arranged Glass Work which although with a hitch but was successfully completed with great pride by all fellow participants. The Next day we had a session on Time Management conducted by Tr. Bobby followed by Mock Business Meetings and Hot Seat where the incoming head board got a feel of handling Business Meets and fellow Tablers during the coming year facilitated by Tr. Vijay Johar. The program was aptly folded by the Incoming Area Chairman sharing his vision for the year and hence forth thanking all fellow Tablers for attending the program in full strength and making it a grand success and a wonderful stepping stone for the coming year. Facilitation of the Convenor of the event Tr. Ajay Raj Acharya along with Facilitators, mentors, Ht’s. Shenshah of the Text was awarded to 2 fellow Tablers – Deepesh Kothari and Vinay Mathur. 34
