Arrives the holy month of March to kindle the memory of
"DAFFODILS" (1804) By William Wordsworth (17701850).
I WANDER'D lonely as a cloud that floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd, a host, of golden Daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees, fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine and twinkle on the Milky Way,
They stretched in never-ending line along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance, tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay, in such a jocund company:
I gazed -- and gazed -- but little thought what wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie in vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills, and dances with the Daffodils.
th
The Daffodils danced so did the PCH General Body at its Month end Meeting on Sunday the 26 Feb 2012
having successfully chosen 6 Members out of the Team of 8 for 2012-13, willing and unopposed. On
return of President Prof KCS Rao to Hyderabad after successful Cataract Surgery at Bangalore, the two
other members will be chosen and so the Installation Meeting for 2012-13 be held as scheduled on
th
Sunday the 25 March 2012.

If it is said that PCH is at Cross Roads on the eve of 15 Birthday in Oct 2012, it would be a
mild statement --- However
We all, together, can find a way to replace exhaustion with energy, cynicism with hope,
Resignation with determination, and destructive anger with constructive activism.
“YOU must be the change you wish to see in this World” --- Mahatma Gandhi
“Where Is The Life We Have Lost In Living?
“Where Is Wisdom We Have Lost In Knowledge?” --- T.S. Elliott
“We normally view reality from our own unique Perspective,
Only a community of minds can show us the truth”
Be it as it may! It is the ardent desire of our Probians to fly the Probus Flag High & Mighty always,
and no stone will be left unturned to keep the ‘wagons moving’, smoothly --- Efficiency is doing a
thing right, and effectiveness is doing the right thing right.
In the Feb 2012 issue of PCH Newsletter I had mentioned about Teachers and Educators (the Lipstick
story), the need of the hour World over is “EDUCATORS” per say, and let us all take a vow at the end of the
Year 2011-12 that we will be “E D U C A T O R S” especially to the younger generation with humility to learn.
