Description

The district of 3141 recently hosted an exciting event, RIDE Jash-ne, in celebration of Ganesh Chaturthi, which is grandly celebrated in Maharashtra. This three-day ride provided a wonderful opportunity for members of various Rotaract clubs to come together and immerse themselves in the cultural festivities. Our International Service Director, Rtr. Akshatha Prasad, represented the Rotaract Club of Atria I.T. and played a key role in the event, successfully completing 17 letterhead exchanges throughout the trip. We were fortunate to participate alongside 25 other clubs, enhancing the spirit of camaraderie. Our journey began with our travel arrangements to Mumbai, for which we booked our tickets, while the district graciously took care of the remaining expenses. The inaugural meeting on the first day set the tone for the event, allowing us to connect with fellow Rotaractors and share our enthusiasm for the festivities. Throughout the event, we were taken on guided tours of local and tourist spots, culminating in the spectacular Ganesh Chaturthi visarjan, which was a vibrant and moving experience. The next day, another group of Rotaractors introduced us to more of Mumbai's charm, showcasing the city's unique culture and hospitality. In the evening, we enjoyed a delightful dinner hosted by the District Rotaract Representative (DRR), where we engaged in dancing and singing. This event was not only fun but also productive, as we participated in letterhead exchanges. Rtr. Akshatha's efforts during the dinner fostered discussions on potential collaborations and sessions, allowing us to brainstorm innovative ideas for future projects. As the event concluded, we headed back to Bangalore, filled with wonderful memories and new connections. Overall, RIDE Jash-ne was a beautiful experience of interaction, celebration, and collaboration. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to District 3141 and the Rotaract Club of Atria I.T. for this enriching opportunity.
