PRINCE FREDERICK on the club's activities that have fostered Issues lasting friendships Arts & Crafts Information Technology Shopping Heritage Miscellany News News Update Front Page National States: • Tamil Nadu • Andhra Pradesh • Karnataka • Kerala • New Delhi • Other States Romancing the wilderness Peter Van Geit with members of the International Chennai Trekking Club Opinion Business P eter Van Geit has spiced up the weekend. The Chennai Trekking Club (CTC), Sport which organises weekend treks in places not frequented by tourists, is his baby. Miscellaneous From a tiny clique of trekkers in a software company, CTC has grown into a Index group with 8,600 registered members. Every day, the club gets ten new members. Despite this explosive growth, CTC functions without hierarchy. Geit Advts does not hold any position within CTC, but everybody accepts him as its chief Retail Plus representative. Classifieds Jobs Geit has consistently displayed leadership qualities and organisational skills. Last Obituary weekend, a trek through the Nagalapuram mountain range turned problematic when four trekkers got lost. Geit left for the mountains immediately. Close to midnight, he began his search for the lost ones, hacking his way through thorny bushes. Bloody tears on his arms are the mementoes of this mission, which ended successfully. A meticulous organiser, Geit plans every trek down to the last detail. Quick weekend trips are made possible by numerous hours of leisure spent on preparation and research. He regularly studies Google and topographical maps of scenic places in south India to unearth rare trails. Geit shows a 100-year-old jeep trail in a map of the Venkateswara National Reserve Forest in Andhra Pradesh. “CTC believes in finding new trails, because they make for new discoveries. Almost always, we come upon remains of summer rest houses built by the British.” He has loads of information about all the pretty places in South India. Despite being Belgian, he also understands social customs in this part of the world — which is a big advantage for a trekker. “I have been in Chennai for 13 years and consider it home. It is three years since I last visited Belgium. I felt bored to the core; and also miserable, because I lost two weekends of trekking!” A Belgian company's expansion plans brought Geit to Chennai in the late 1990s. A key player in the Chennai unit that made software for digital television networks, Geit joined hands with a colleague to start an in-house trekking club. Blog postings made the club known to the outside world. Following requests for memberships from outsiders, the club's doors were opened wide. In February 1 of 3 Friday 19 November 2010 11:11 AM The Hindu : Metro Plus Chennai : Road less travelled http://www.hindu.com/mp/2010/11/18/stories/20101... 2008, a website was created for CTC and that opened the floodgates. Geit has made countless number of friends through CTC. “A friendship forged during a trek is very different from one made at a bar or a social gathering. It does not snap easily. Every weekend, a great number of strangers sign up for a trek. On Friday evening, they are strangers. On Sunday evening, they are friends for life. During the three days, they go through sweat and blood to complete the trek. They can't do it without relying on one another. Friendships made under such circumstances last a lifetime.” The informal atmosphere of the club fosters unity. “Nobody owns CTC. It is totally volunteer-based. As the group has grown bigger and three to four treks are being organised every weekend, we have 30 to 40 people who are called organisers. They have been chosen by virtue of their ability to lead a group, navigate through tough terrain and serve selflessly. Being organisers does not entitle them to any special privileges.” Geit says CTC has been kept free of commercial motives. A raft of companies has tried to push their products to CTC, but without success. “They see the group as a sizeable market. Besides the charges that cover expenses incurred through transportation and other essential services, not a single rupee is collected from a trekker. And there is absolutely no pressure on them to buy any particular product.” As Nature comes free, Geit believes that the adventure of discovering it in its pristine forms should also be free. Clubbing causes * Chennai TrekkingClub has proved itself to be more than a group that is keen on weekend fun in the wilderness. It addresses social issues. It has been organising treks for children in orphanages. Called ‘Social Trek', this has become a part of CTC's regular weekend activity. * CTC is also big on promoting beach cleaning. It mobilises groups for ridding beaches of litter. Its biggest effort has been the Chennai Coastal Clean-Up, which covered the stretch from Marina to Injambakkam. Fifteen teams, together numbering 900 people, were formed to cover the fifteen zones on this stretch. * CTC also launches campaigns to clean tourist places. Its TADA cleaning campaign has especially evoked good response from the non-trekking community. * CTC, which has diversified into cycling and biking activities, have used these rides to call attention to issues such as blood donation.

All our usual year - long festivities were conducted with zest, except for the Primary School Day where the students were enthusiastic and co-operative, but not Nature! Vardha and unseasonal rains, both played havoc before and during the function. Teacher trainings went off well all through the year. Many teachers have added new degrees to their names. Congratulations!! Exams, tests, excursions, Carnival, clean up campaigns, inter class competitions, Olympiads, clubs,……… all done and wrapped up for the year.

  • Meet India's Fastest Ironman Triathlete Raghul Sankaranarayanan
    FITNESS Meet India’s fastest Ironman Triathlete Raghul Sankaranarayanan Reji Varghese JUNE 11, 2018 13:27 IST UPDATED: JUNE 12, 2018 17:36 IST An Ironman Triathlon is an extreme form of the Triathalon and consists of a 3.86-km swim, a 180-km bicycle ride and a 42.2-km marathon run, raced in that order and without a break. I It was a warm evening in Port Elizabeth, South Africa; the sun had just begun to sink over the horizon. Raghul Sankaranarayanan vaguely remembers the crowds lined up across the last kilometre cheering the weary contestants on. What’s clearly etched in his mind is the pain — the pain from having swum 3.8 kms, cycled 180 kms and run 42.2 kms without a break in the last 11 hours. With each thud of his shoes on the asphalt, he felt an electric pain shoot up from his ankles to his knees. There was a spasm on his right hamstring, which was close to locking up. He crossed the finish line and looked at his watch: it read 10 hours, 56 minutes and 59 seconds. Raghul was speechless. He had just broken the Indian record of 11 hours and 3 minutes jointly held by Kaustabh Radkar and Akshay Samel. He was now officially the fastest Indian Ironman. An Ironman Triathlon is an extreme form of the Triathalon and consists of a 3.86-km swim, a 180-km bicycle ride and a 42.2-km marathon run, raced in that order and without a break. It is widely considered one of the most gruelling one-day sporting events in the world, with a limited time of 17 hours to complete the race.

    Students’ Research-2 Global Media Journal – Indian Edition Sponsored by the University of Calcutta www.caluniv.ac.in ISSN 2249 – 5835 Summer Issue/June-2016/Vol. 7/No. 1 SOCIAL MEDIA AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT by Gayathri Chandrashekar Student of MA Communication, MOP Vaishnav College for Women, Chennai Email; [email protected] and Nirupa Sampath Student of MA Communication, MOP Vaishnav College for Women, Chennai Email; [email protected] Abstract: The recent Chennai floods taught us many lessons, one of it being the importance of social media during a disaster as devastating as this. Though the damage was heavy, one thing that was clear is the spirit of humanity. People from various walks of lives came together to help one another in this unforeseen calamity and social media played a major role in bringing people together. Taking this as a case study we aim to study the uses and gratification of social media at the time of a crisis. We have used different methodologies including interviews and surveys to study in-depth about how people used social media before the calamity, during and post the calamity. At the end of the article, we aim to get a thorough understanding of the role, analyze the pros and cons of social media in a disaster situation. Keywords: Social media, disaster management, Chennai floods, uses and gratification of social media, importance of social media, social media’s role in disaster management. Introduction The Chennai floods was an unprecedented disaster in it being a once in a lifetime event. Compared to the Tsunami of 2004 where facebook was in its infancy while twitter and whatsapp were yet to be conceived of, this was also the first large scale disaster in the age of social media – namely facebook and twitter.

The pan-India effort was excellently coordinated by Pratibha Sharma, and received excellent communication support from Sherma Benosa, for which we are appreciative. The coordinators from each of the participating organisations played a critical role in making the audits an invaluable part of the conversations on waste and plastic in each of their cities. We thank Anne Larracas for conducting the training on the methodology, and for providing excellent comments on the data and report. The methodology is based on the excellent foundational work by Mother Earth Foundation, GAIA Asia Pacific, Greenpeace and Citizen consumer and civic Action Group (CAG).
