Karthikeyan Palani.. that is a wonderful idea..monthly one saturday/Sunday can be a meeting day to discuss and chalk out the roadmap for achieving our goal..
It may not be possible for me to attend the brainstorming sessions (but my friend Dr. Charles, the brainstorming Expert will be there)..
govind you can all decide the next date and venue for the brainstorming session which can be held in woodlands drive in or even marina beach over a pocket of pattani chundal.

Govind Srinivasan | | Karthik and LK(g)
The idea of meeting once in a month is probably the least effortless real time activity that we can think of. So, it is required. The online bonhomie and fellow-feeling that is evident all over the WCFC Msg Board have to be pushed into real time activities seamlessly. This Msg Board is the meeting ground for all of us to get ourselves introduced to each other. The resulting fusion between all of us can be put to common cause, promoting the central theme "Make Chennai a better place to live in". Issues are countless. Even if we take 3 or 4 major issues and start working on them, it can create a 'quantum leap' effect. But, again, sustained working on the issues we identify could be the biggest challenge. We have to meet it.
At this point of time, what we require is a good number of WCFC online participants. As of now there are about 10 (or less than that) who are active in the Msg Board. The global experience with online Msg Boards is this. "The conversion ratio of realization of even most successful online msg boards into physical form activities is abysmal". The emotional empathy of online synergy of minds don't get easily converted to real time actions. This is a global phenomenon today.
Well, we all can prove that we are an exception by showing an unfliching faith in ourselves and in what we want to do with and thru' WCFC. We require numbers even to get into the mind-mould of proving the global formula wrong! As of now, there are about 10 or <10, who are keeping the WCFC ball rolling. Within a month from now, we should make this number go up to 50. For this, we have to bring in about 300 to 400 online members into the WCFC.
While I was talking to Harish a few days back, he was echoing the same strategy that we should bring in a lot of people into WCFC first. Harish is doing a silent job, but an excellent one. He is now fully concentrating on the Chennai FuFa meet to be held on April 2nd. I have already told him that he could do whatever he wants thru WCFC to make the FuFa meet a big success. I am also into the FuFa.
Lets ramp up and make WCFC get more and more people in the online forum. Lets channelize the online strength to real time work. There is a perceptible tinge of satisfaction in working towards a common cause and sharing the pain (and pangs) of growing a long term service-minded strategy. Lets unravel it by huddling together.
Yes, we will meet soon. I will reach as many of you and arrive at a consensus.
And bear with me for my ol' world writing! The old dog is finding it difficult to practice the net way of writing.

Don't give up at halftime. Concentrate on winning the second half | | I will try to bring in as many like minded people as possible..
What you say is absolutely correct Govind..We have to get in to some real time activity and prove that we are exceptions..
so many issues confront us in our own place and iam fully with you to help find a solution for them. Please count on me for any help/coordination in future.
thanks Private Reply to Don't give up at halftime. Concentrate on winning the second half |

Gaoul Rama aka Saappattu Rama..We are going in for brain storming session and not for stomach storming session. After eating Tiger what not and whales, you will only go to sleep..In WCFC, we will adopt Gandhian way of diet..Goat milk and shengdhans..

H@r!$h Vittal | | We all need our strengths from enery boosters, be it from milk or tiger prawns.... Yes, this is indeed a wonderful idea.
My suggestion is to bash a few ideas on this thread itself on what we can influence Chennai with. Trust me, this will bring added focus for such like minded souls when we start these monthly meets. It can be from JJ's weight to planting more trees in chennai to bring much needed shade.

Kanchana Ravichandran | | Dear All,
Am back after a brief silence. Had been to Caddapah in AP to see a few self-help programs. I marvelled at the way the Govt. NGO, Community and Bank work closely to make it a success. The real success lies in their buy back policy. So everyone makes a profit. After looking at the success of that program I am looking to do something here too.
Youth unemployment is another huge problem we are all facing. There is a National Level summit on Youth employment and anyone who wishes to participate may please contact me through PM. This will be held in Hosur on April 2 nd and 3rd. So if you have some suggestions to this burning problem pls contact me at the earliest and lets make a difference. Will post a separate invite later. Take care all.

SOEB FATEHI | | I admire anyone who advocates the
Gandhian way. No matter what they
wear.
I practise it except in two areas,
the dietary habits being one.
About thinking aloud, I do it all
the time.
About meeting once in a month, I
promise to be there everytime LK(g)
is there.
About 'wondering what happened to
this' . . . . . . Harish, have you
tried to go one step beyond wondering
. . . . they call it analysing
. . . . . and one of the methods
is by introspecting.Private Reply to SOEB FATEHI |

Hrish..Govind and others..Personal interaction helps a lot. Harish and mismanagement committee could bring about a wonderful mixer at a short notice only after interacting with each other. In my openion a monthly meeting atleast between members who can attend over a cup of coffee/tea/water will help grow WCFC a lot..
Govind.. suggest some day and the meeting can take place even in Marina..

Thanks Soeb, but yes i do know about the wondering bit. But you need others to also lead and be given the chance to lead from the front. When you start having 3-4 people in a forum taking initiative. more people follow to lead...
I am just trying to sow the seeds for leaders and do a good deed.
