Rotary recognised six members and alumni as People of Action: Champions of Peace in January. This honour celebrates the recipients’ work to build peace around the world.

The honorees exemplify Rotary’s values and the dedication it takes to make a lasting impact. Their projects empower farmers and refugees, heal postwar trauma, and establish dialogue among diverse groups.

Quite often, it comes naturally to women to find simple solutions to major problems. This has been proved once again by members of the all-women Rotary Club of Dindigul Queencity, RID 3000, Tamil Nadu. In a remarkable act of community service, these women Rotarians have placed three open cupboards filled with clothes for women and children at the Dindigul Government Hospital (two) and the Rotary Hall in the city. These cupboards offer free, round-the-clock access to used clothing for those in need. “Ours is an all-women’s club and we felt that if we allow the choice to the women to select the clothes they want, and without their being supervised, it would give them a lot more dignity, than somebody handing out the clothes to them,” says club member Aarthy Mukesh, who edits the club’s bulletin.

For the last 45 years I have been a journalist. Not just any journalist, but an economic journalist. Mind, not a business journalist but an economic journalist. Someone asked me why I chose this utterly boring specialisation. I hadn’t ever thought about it. But when I did, it quickly became clear that (a) very few journalists knew economics; (b) amongst those who knew economics, very few could write English properly; and (c) amongst those who knew both, hardly any wanted to become low-paid journalists. I was thus rare as a pig with wings and newspapers gave me a job very readily. The pay wasn’t great but the editors by and large didn’t know economics which means they left me alone practically all the time. I could write on any subject. I could write ill-informed articles and, as long as the English was okay along with a modicum of economic jargon, I was the cock of the walk. Not that I wrote nonsense, of course. My father, even though not an economist, knew enough of it to keep me in line. And of course, there was the punctilious girlfriend who would criticise any loose sentence or grammar.
What really defines you and pigeon-holes you in society’s memory bank is your skin. More accurately, your colour — black, white or brown — is your most visual characteristic; it profiles you in the mental folder. Most often, your reference is not your facial features. It is the more obvious colour of your skin, and this, consciously or unconsciously, becomes your identity card. Beauty is not just skin deep. Because the skin stands for so much more…

With summer upon us, keeping cool is a big concern and the subject of much discussion. For those trying to follow a sustainable lifestyle, it is much more challenging to figure out how to save the planet by consuming less energy, yet tide over the hot summer months in reasonable comfort.
