    11 Rules  For Heathy Friendship 

 

 1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, But what is more
painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let that person know how you feel.

 

 2. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you,
only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and you just have to let go.

 

3. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with,
never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

 

4. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's
also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

 

5. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like
someone, and a day to love someone-but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

 

6. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for

 someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

 

 7. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you
want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

 

 8. Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you,
it probably hurts the person too.

 

9. A careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life; a
timely word may level stress; a loving word may heal and bless.

 

 10. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything
they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

 

11. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with a tear. When you
were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when

 you die, you're the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.


 

 

 

 

Bihar & Orissa Official Representative  Alfred George deRozario, Ex-MLA says :–

Every association must have a focused objective or mission.  The main concerns of our association are three fold.

 

A]        Our Culture And Language.

B]        The Education Of Our Children.

C]        The Welfare Of Our Senior Citizens.

 

It is through the association that we can preserve the culture of our community.  By not being involved in the association we are weakening our own cultural ties and togetherness.

 

IDENTITY :

 

We need our association in order to give ourselves an IDENTITY and a FEELING OF ONENESS.  Even if any of us feel we do not require an identity then that is our personal decision.

 

LOYALTY :

 

An important factor for any Association or Organisation to survive and to fulfill its objectives is Loyalty.  If we lack loyalty, our Association will not be able to project a strong and united community.

 

Another important factor is discipline.  We cannot have a successful Organisation without discipline.  Discipline cannot be enforced by rule of the iron fist.  It is something that comes from within one’s self and acceptance of rules to guide the Organisation.

 

An Association has to enforce discipline and members must have the inbuilt discipline of their own, after all, it is our Association and we make the Association.  We are responsible for its success or failure.

 

During the past year, 2004-05, our Branch of the Association has made tremendous progress in achieving it’s targets :

 

A}        Keeping the community together and projecting its oneness.

B}        Completing various activities outlined for the year.

 

The achievement of the goals of this branch has been so outstanding, of-course with the cooperation of the Office Bearers and you members of the Association, that it projected itself as a strong and vibrant one.  This was taken note of by The All-India Anglo-Indian Association at the AGM held in October 2004 at Delhi.  It did come as a great surprise that our branch was given due recognition among all other branches present there and we were awarded the Derozio Award for projecting the community.  To add to this achievement, the Review Star Award was presented to Mr. Rudolph Mawer of our branch for his regular contribution of articles to the Review.    This recognition brought profound joy to us at the big gathering and indeed it has positively encouraged us to continue to work relentlessly in future to keep up that image.  It was indeed a moment of pride in the History of our Branch Association.

 

Before presenting the award Mr. Barry O’Brien had this to say of the Danapur Br –

           

          The branch that hosts the best quiz, conducts quality debates and  successful painting competitions.  The only branch that has it’s own website – www.aiadanapur.org and circulates it’s own newsletter “OUR VOICE”.  The branch that gets the Anglo-Indians and the Anglo-Indian Association the maximum newspaper space by projecting the work done by Anglo-Indians and the Association.  The Danapur Branch is the winner of the inaugural Derozio Award for projecting the community.

 

 

Quote -  “O God of the Impossible,

              Where we no hope can see,

              Grant us the faith that still believes

              All possible through thee.”             Unquote

 

In other words it means “The impossible is Possible.”  In fact this prayer has given me confidence in all seemingly impossible situations.

Thank you.
