Patan Darbar Square's Publication: NIVA 4th and 5th volume- In Retrospect

[Yala Architect]

Dear Fellow Rtr. Pradeep Ratna Shakya and team,

Rotaract Club of Patan Darbar Square.

 

I hear the new issues (6th and 7th) of Niva is out in stand. Unlike past days and times, my mailbox of steel is still empty. It's mouth wide open and is ready to engulf its diet. This is what Niva is for its regular readers/subscribers!!!

 

I have in my hand your 4th and 5th issue, I like calling them: THE TWINs; as I find both so similar in terms of layout and themes, and also, not to forget, the spirit that they carry!. Here I am looking back the stories behind the pen and tales n toil on its ink.

 

"Life is ever changing because time doesnot remain the same. Everthing has to be changed alongwith time......." editor rightly justified the new improved glittering look and added sections/columns in 4th issue. Really! Layout is unique and readers' friendly- in terms of column break and font size and its compaction.  

 

The cover stories on your club installation ceremony and first multicountry RYLA tell the tale of two events. Installations are always special!... the wonderful moments that it creates make it so!!..... and Niva, sharing all these, is really exclusive!!!.... Your Participation in the Multi-Country RYLA hosted by Rotary Club of Salt Lake City, Kolkata; and its thorough rapport has helped readers to understand and experience the International Spirit of Rotaract. 

 

The avenue-wise project briefs are informative. Great to know about the sucessfully completed programmes- Basketball Match with Rotaract Mahabouddha, Matya and KrishnaJanmastami Celebration, Elocution on Role of Youth, Bishankhu Narayan tree plantations and Interact Fund Raising Programme. And equally awaiting is your 3-month long Computer Literacy Programme!

 

Your minute lateral columns featuring participation, professional developments, gags and club service are unique. I liked your newly started "messages" column wherein you fellow simply put down words for others to read. This is influentially expressive!!!

 

Through Columns like "District Information", "District News" and "Rotaract News", you fellows have come out the box and expanded your horizon. I sincerely appreciate you fellow for this remarkable step. On this context, I would like to see another, similar to these, say "column rotara...@yahoogroups.com" or "column serves...@googlegroups.com" wherein you extract informative news and article that are posted in the listed groups and reprint them in your bulletins, so that materials are read by those who dont have net access. THINK A LITTLE!!!

 

The last page is INTERESTING!! It's the mix of techno, graphics, fun facts, member of the month, acknowledgement list and also weighty words!! Anyway great composition and sleek compilation!!! 

 

Last Words: Niva, the way you fellow titled "The Light", is really shiny and shall always shine the Destiny of Rotaract Movement in Nepal.

 

With Regards,

Rtr. Tonil Maharjan
