At first, I felt honoured and privileged to become the President of the Inner Wheel Club of Bombay Bayview. However, I soon realized that my initial thoughts did not fully capture the impact of this role. Throughout the year, I discovered the immense responsibility of leading such a dynamic organization and the tremendous joy it brings.
This year was unique in many ways, but the most significant event for our club was the appointment of the District Chairman of the Year. It was a challenging experience but also exciting and rewarding. I am pleased with our work, and rest assured that I gave it my all.
Our organization's members have shown exceptional dedication and commitment. At Bayview, we pride ourselves on giving from the depths of our hearts. Our club is a bastion of social work and embodies the values of the Inner Wheel Association. Each member enthusiastically supported our activities, and Mita led the way at the District level with resoluteness and extraordinary foresight. The club's wholehearted physical, mental, emotional, and financial support was instrumental in our collective success.
I strongly believe in the quote I always carry: 'Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud because every smile counts'. Keeping in mind the IW theme for the year, 'Work Wonders', our club has done wonders in all avenues of service.
Her flair for mixing spices with food makes Pumpkin Spice Latte a good analogy for Sonia. Creatively inclined, Sonia distinguishes herself in a crowd with her calm demeanor, a quality that should sustain her in this critical year. She is always up to a challenge and will toil
tirelessly until she achieves her desired goals.
Sadhana is always ready to help. Keeps the board buzzing with life, more like a chulbul pandey. For Bayview, Sadhana is like a single hued espresso shot. Rejuvenating and sharp, she does not hesitate to call a spade a spade. What I love most about Sadhana is that she
displays a refreshing candidness with a hint of humor!
Grishma wins people's hearts by just being herself and hope she continues with the same enthusiasm in the coming year. Our personal flavour of a salted caramel mocha frappuccino that successfully won the hearts of all who connected with her last year. Grishma's enthusiasm reminds me of the white chocolate shavings that add a touch of vibrancy and colour to the frappuccino.
Chaitali is extremely meticulous and prompt. Her support is going to make my journey very easy. A balanced person, like an Affogato, Chaitali is a perfect blend of caffeine with ice cream - hot with cold. My anchor in every storm, she will help me create the harmony that will make this year as successful as it must be.
Number crunching is what Dipa loves! She's just too perfect with numbers which leaves me carefree to focus on other areas. Everyone's favourite, Dipa, is like a homemade Cappuccino, dependable, consistent, and perfect. A wiz with numbers, she is my favourite for ensuring that our monies remain safe and that we spend wisely and with prudence.
MY MENTOR AND GUIDE... someone whom I've always learnt from. Can't imagine my team without Nimisha. My mentor, she is the original Lungo. The more I ask for, the more I get. Again, black and highly predictable in her nature, her flair for captivating audiences with words and emotions makes her my best choice for club ISO.
Mitali always comes up with new and creative ideas and executes plans perfectly. As the filter coffee has several names like south Indian coffee and Palakkad Iyer Coffee, so does Mitali. Our club's uncrowned installation chairman is also an accomplished member of every editorial team. She has contributed to our flagship project, Indradhanush for many years and has served as club correspondent multiple times. Who other than her to manage the club correspondent's portfolio in this landmark year?
Aditi wishes to take up the presidents post in the future. Being a part of the team shall give her some experience. Irish coffee is intoxicating, and so is Aditi. Her affable personality makes her a very gracious host at the many events she organises. As a club committee member, she will learn the ropes and take the next step in leading the club in the future.
My sister. Digital art work is her forte. To groom new leaders for the future is the idea. As creamy as milk, the richness of my relationship with my cousin Anchal is as white and frothy as a conventional Cafe Latte. Her skills in digital art are an added motive to get her on board, one that I will capitalise on as her elder sister.
Meghna and Kanan come as a package and give the best when they work together. Iced Coffee and Iced Cappuccino are almost similar, and so are Kanan and Meghna. Hand in glove in everything they do, they are the club's go-to members when needing double doses of fun and enjoyment.

Sarita's skills of event organising and taking care of the minute details remain unmatched. She has the art of making the desi ghuta hua coffee into an international brand like the Dalgona. Sarita's decor and presentation skills and her enthusiasm for planning events and executing them are unmatched at Bayview.
Again, To groom new leaders for the future is the idea. Tejal is fond of helping and she's an asset to the team. Shy Tejal is like the Mazagran, a lesser-known coffee with oodles of rum and sugar. A first-time committee member, Tejal is keen to explore herself and her calling through the functions of Inner Wheel.
Samina's continuous support in medical projects is phenomenal. It will be a pleasure working with her. Samina lives her life, actualizing the inspiring words of John Rockefeller, who said that the
best philanthropy is constantly searching for causes and solutions to cure those evils. Samina works tirelessly for her foundation and every other organization she connects with. Her commitment to communal upliftment is motivating, and I hope to emulate her selflessness in my endeavors. It gives me great pleasure to honor her with the position of Honorary Active Member.
