At the Chennai Institute, RC Bangalore Orchards President, D Ravi Shankar, who recently donated Rs.100 crore to The Rotary Foundation, was the cynosure of all eyes. As most of the RI officers congratulated him and made a beeline to pose with him for pictures, Ravi Shankar brushed off the accolades and insisted he was no hero. What struck me the most was that during a nearly an hour-long chat, he mentioned the figure of Rs.100 crore only once, and that too in passing. In a chat with D 3190 DG Suresh Hari and Anita, Ravi Shankar and Paola regaled the audience with their answers.
