"Keep your face always toward the sunshine and shadows will fall behind you." - Walt Whitman

Dear Esteemed Members,

As we welcome the month of March, we embrace a period rich with cultural significance and historical importance across India. This month serves as a bridge between seasons and offers us numerous occasions to celebrate and reflect upon our diverse heritage.

March heralds the arrival of spring, a season symbolizing renewal and vitality. One of the most vibrant festivals during this time is Holi, the Festival of Colors, which will be celebrated on March 14, 2025. This joyous occasion brings together people of all ages to revel in the playful exchange of colors, music, and traditional delicacies, embodying the spirit of unity and joy.

Another significant festival in Chaitra Navratri, commencing on March 30, 2025, and concluding on April 7, 2025. This nine-day festival is dedicated to the worship of Goddness Durga in her various forms, marketing the beginning of the Hindu lunar calendar. Devotees observe fasting, prayers and cultural performance, reflecting deep spiritual devotions and cultural richness.

In our own state of Rajasthan, Rajasthan Day is celebrated on March 30, commemorating the formation of the state in 1949. This day is marked by cultural programs, exhibitions and events that showcase the rish heritage and traditions of Rajasthan, fostering pride and unity among its people.

In alignment with these cultural festivities, our club has planned a series of events to engage and delight our members too. We encourage all members to participate in these events, as they offer wonderful opportunities to connect, celebrate and honor our shared traditions.

As we immerse ourselves in these celebrations, let us also take a moment to reflect on the values they represent - unity, renewal, and respect for nature. Our club remains committed to fostering a community that cherishes cultural heritage while promoting social and environmental responsibility.

Wishing you all a joyous and enriching month ahead.

                                                                                                                                         Warm Regards.

Manoj Birla
