NV Paulose, Chairman, Global TV +91 98441 82044

Have you ever felt stuck in your life? Do you want to be more successful and happy? There is a simple way to change your life. It is called The SALT Magic.

Think about salt. Salt is a simple ingredient, but it brings out the best taste in any food. It also unites people, as every home shares salt and food. In the same way, The SALT Magic is a simple method to bring out the best in you with the art of teamwork. Start, Appreciate, Link and Team up are the components of the SALT Magic. It begins with S – Start with Concentration. Dedicate one hour a week for self-improvement. Learn to Appreciate yourself and others. Link people for a purpose. Team Up for greater purposes. Be part of the goal to Celebrate Hunger Free Day in our district.

The four steps are Concentration, Communication, Connection, and Celebration. You only need one hour each week to practice them. This is how it works.

Step 1: Concentration

Practice Concentration exercise in a team of 5. Pick a good memory and activate your 5 senses around that good memory. Close your eyes and See that Memory vivid and clear. Activate your senses (Seeing, hearing, Feeling, Tasting & Smelling) and check your concentration on a scale of 0 to 10.

Concentration practice makes your mind strong. A strong mind is the first ingredient for a better life, just like salt is the first ingredient in a tasty meal.

Step 2: Communication

Next, practice how you talk and listen. Good communication is not just about speaking. It is about listening to understand. This skill will help you at work and with your family. It helps people understand you better. It opens new doors for you. Practice Listening and Speaking on a regular basis.

Step 3: Connection

Then, focus on building real relationships. Connect people who can help you grow. Also connect people whom you can help. Talk to people with kindness. Understand their feelings. Help them when you can. Strong connections with others make you stronger. These people will support you. You will support them. We grow better when we grow together. This connection unites us, just like salt brings different flavors together in one dish.

Step 4: Celebration

Finally, take time to celebrate. Be happy about your progress, even the small wins.

True celebration is an opportunity to come together. Coming together for a purpose is a great success. This will make our celebration meaningful. What if our purpose was a Hunger Free Day for our entire district? We could use our collective power to ensure that for one day, no one in our district goes to sleep hungry. We could share food, resources, and kindness. This is the SALT magic. Uniting people to their native places to make life better for everyone.

A Promise to Help Others

The SALT Magic is about giving and taking. We give you this method to transform your life. In return, we ask you to help others. Please join us in supporting people who need it. Share the goodness you have. When you become successful, you can help others succeed too.

Your transformation starts with one hour a week. Practice the four steps of The SALT Magic. You will see your life change for the better. And you will help make the world a better place too.

ROTARIAN LAL GOEL EMPHASISES CRITICAL NEED FOR ORGAN DONATION AT CISF, ISRO PROPULSION COMPLEX, MAHENDRAGIRI, TAMIL NADU

Mahendragiri, Tamil Nadu, October 12, 2025 -Rotarian Lal Goel, Founder and Charter President of the Rotary Club of Organ Donation International, Chairman of the Organ Donation India Foundation, and Chairman of GYAN, addressed personnel at the CISF, ISRO Propulsion Complex in Mahendragiri, Tamil Nadu, emphasising the critical importance of organ donation in India.

In his keynote address, Rotarian Lal Goel presented sobering statistics from the National Organ & Tissue Transplant Organisation (NOTTO), revealing that over 5 lakh people die annually in India due to the unavailability of organs. He explained that a single brain-dead donor can save up to nine lives and improve the quality of life for up to 75 individuals through organ and tissue donation.

“Last year alone, more than 5 lakh people in India lost their lives while waiting for organs,” Goel stated. “With a potential pool of 2-3 lakh brain-dead cases annually, if every brain-dead person donated their organs, no one in India would have to die waiting for a transplant.”

Deputy Commandant Deepak Jayakumar warmly welcomed Rotarian Lal Goel and Mrs Rajni Goel, acknowledging organ donation as a profoundly noble act. He encouraged all attendees to pledge their organs to help save countless lives.

Rotarian Major Donor B. Arumugapandian, Rotary Governor (2011-12) and Chicago Convention on Legislation (COL) Representative, commended Rotarian Lal Goel’s unwavering dedication to advancing organ donation awareness and advocacy.

The program was expertly conducted by Mrs Deepak Jayakumar, President of Sanrakshika, and drew significant participation from CISF officers, personnel, and their families and Rotarian S. Ramalingam, Public Image Chairman of the Rotary Club of Nagercoil.

Rotarian Lal Goel expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Mrs. and Deputy Commandant Deepak Jayakumar for their meticulous organisation of the program and their warm hospitality. He specially acknowledged Rotarian B. Arumugapandian for travelling a considerable distance to grace the occasion with his presence. Rotarian Goel also extended his appreciation to all CISF personnel and their families for their enthusiastic attendance and patient engagement throughout the session, recognising their openness to understanding this life-saving cause.

Our Future Lies in Nurturing Bees, Not Guarding Honey | From Stolen Honey to a Nation of Builders

NV Paulose, Chairman, Global TV +91 98441 82044

We begin with a stark, unsettling fact. In Punjab, the CBI seized assets from a single police officer: ₹7.5 crore in cash, 2.5 kg of gold, 50 properties, and a trove of luxury watches. This is not an anomaly; it is a symptom. It is the harvested, bottled, and stolen honey.

For too long, we have defined our national wealth by this “honey” that is actually a static capital with an inherited cancer within it. The piles of cash and the glittering properties are temporary pleasures. We take such corruption as theft and make big fury about them. We miss a more fundamental truth, one that nature’s most diligent creator teaches us.

The True Wealth Isn’t the Honey, It’s the Bee.

A hive’s most vital asset is not the honey in its combs. That is merely the output, the residue of a process. The true, irreplaceable wealth is the hive’s capacity to make honey; the collective of bees, the pollination flights, the cooperation and collaboration within, and the life-giving buzz itself. This capacity cannot be seized in a raid. It cannot be locked in a vault. It is a living, breathing force. Ever growing.

The corrupt officials are like the bear raiding the hive. They only see the finished product. They steal the capital, but they cannot steal the capital-generating capacity of the people. They are predators of things. They are deaf, dumb and blind to the process that creates them.

The Great Paradox: Immaterial Capital

This is the core of the modern economic scenario. The so-called Capital has become immaterial today in the life of the people. It is no longer just land and gold; it is trust, ideas, networks, and human potential, that create lasting wealth in the world. When a corrupt official takes money, the real loss isn’t just the money itself. The real loss is everything that money would have become. Yet, the society goes ahead in a renewed path, some times to reach a greater destination as destined.

Corruption is a tragic failure of imagination. It is brutal, outdated and a dirty way for capital mobilization. It is looting the harvest instead of nurturing the field. It makes capital inert, trapping it in lockers and land deeds, removing it from the circulatory system of the economy.

The Path Forward: From Hives to Ecosystems

So, how do we surpass this? Not by building bigger locks for the honey, but by creating more bees and healthier fields.

Become Pollinators, Not Predators: The joy in preparing fresh honey is more than the joy in stealing them from another beehive. We should redesign a reward system; for inspiration. This means:

Transparent Systems as the New Hive: We should create platforms to ensure the nectar reaches its intended destination, bypassing the sticky fingers of intermediaries. We need more of this in addressing the fundamental issues in the world. Hunger, Education and Employment are the areas that we should focus our attention. Education and Creative Engagement of students, youth and women can do wonders in India.

Empowering the Worker Bees: The principal stealing from the mid-day meal scheme starves the future workforce. Investing in education, healthcare, and skills isn’t an expense; it is feeding the larvae that will become the next generation of productive bees.

Connect the Human Hive: Wealth should be created at every instance and it should be distributed equitably as well. The most powerful strategy to eradicate hunger is to transform the fight against it into an economic engine, where those facing food insecurity become active architects of the solution. By channelling seed money from diverse sources, including sponsors from promotional initiatives in media, art, tourism, healthcare and education; we can fund community kitchens that engage people to prepare snacks for themselves and others.

Those who can contribute; others distribute. This is self-reinforcing and replacing the static stockpiling of aid. This method will build a dynamic economy of dignity and integrity. Solving hunger generates income and empowers everyone involved as both a contributor and a beneficiary.

Celebrate the Process, Not Just the Product: A nation obsessed with its GDP (the honey) often neglects the dignity of its citizens and its environment (the hive). The real miracle in India is not progress despite corruption, ii is the people who continue to create and innovate in spite of all of it. Imagine the energy, unleashed. Aim; not a trillion-dollar economy, aim to build at least a social system free from corruption.  

The real task before us is to redirect our national energy away from guarding the honey and towards nurturing the bees; the millions of Indians whose talent, integrity, and hard work are the true, undisputable wealth of this nation. The bees will then take care of themselves. The heartbeats of a billion productive people, connected and empowered, is a fortune that no one can ever seize. Let us bank on ourselves.

The colloquium will be graced by eminent legal luminaries and academic leaders. The inauguration ceremony on October 25th will feature a keynote address by Justice Dinesh Maheshwari, Former Judge of the Supreme Court of India and the current Chairperson of the 23rd Law Commission of India. His insights are expected to set a profound tone for the discussions to follow.

Prof (Dr.) M. K. Bhandari, Founder Director of GALTER, will be the Chief Guest for the inauguration. The session will be presided over by Dr. Tharanatha, Principal of SDM Law College.

The valedictory ceremony on the same day will honour Prof (Dr.) Sandeep Sancheti, Vice President of Research Relations and Academic Affairs at Elsevier India and Chairperson of CIPU National Committee on R&D, as the Guest of Honour.
