Joy of Life 2017- Back to School
“Back to School” is a program under the Joy of Life theme undertaken by the members of Mahesh Professional Forum, a social group of professional Maheshwari’s. The basic aim of the “Joy of Life” program is not enjoyment or entertainment but also the rejuvenation of the life - through having a healthy body and a healthy mind.
Keeping in mind the basic of theme ‘Joy of Life’, this year under the leadership of Project Director Ms. Rameshwari Jaju and Chairman Mr. Sanket Tapadiya, the team of 15 couples decide to have this year’s theme as “Back to School”. This project was done jointly in association with Rotary Club of Poona Downtown.
The theme is basically based on the dream each one of us has to re-live once again our good old school days, to discover the hidden kids inside us and get back to the fun and masti, innocence in each question we asked and the carefree days and help rejuvenate our mind and soul. The event was planned for 2nd July 2017, from 8:00 am onwards and the venue was Marathwada Mitra Mandals College of Engineering. The event was meticulously planned to get the Real Feeling of being in a School and was to take the time machine back.
The entire aspects of school from the assembly, lectures, sports period, cultural event and of course the exams were well planned and executed. To give the feeling of school, all members were requested to come in School uniform along with their tiffins, water bottles and school bags. The lunch break had students running out to play and buy toffees, guavas and little things we used to get at outside the school gate. The code of conduct includes punctuality, uniform, grooming, behaviour, discipline, cleanliness and the regular code of conduct of any school. All the students were followed the same with a great enthusiasm.
The classrooms were innovately named as Dreamland, Wonderland and Disneyland. There were separate classrooms based on the age group of children – less than 5, between 5 to 15 years and above 15 years. The school started at 8:00 am with registration of student and distribution of the colour houses, and classrooms followed by assembly and physical training. At 9:00 am the students had a short recess for Tiffin’s. After the short recess the students where entered in pre-allocated class with roll nos. There were three periods of each class which includes painting activity, quiz and guest lectures. Post classroom activity, there was a gathering and cultural program where rotary club has presented an experiential presentation, the inauguration of school magazine and a small skit presented by the team Joy of Life. Before the end Team Digital and Business Connect has taken a surprise quiz and the gifts were handed to winners.
The event concluded with the lunch. The team kept the theme ‘don’t waste food’ for the painting activity to give the message of social responsibility and all the students religiously followed the theme. The wastage of food was minimal and we MPFians & Rotarians were appreciated by caterer also.
Feedback from Rotarian Pradeep Munot.....
It really was fun to go 'Back 2 School'.
Though initially I had said 'No' to Balkrishna when he called for attending this event, today morning I suddenly discovered that I can manage to spare one hour. So I decided to go. Kanta also joined. The rules Balkrishna mailed said that "arriving late to school is permitted". So we were encouraged to start from home at 9.30!
So we reached the school and entered the class room where a teacher was 'teaching' a class of 40+ students - boys & girls, using projector. Later on I learnt that Mohan Palesha 'sir' had just finished his class in another class, a lecture on cyber crime was going on in yet another class.
There was a 'test', which we had to appear. Time allowed was 10 minutes, perhaps not of the clock! Copying was ignored! Our Pundlik was one of the bright students who scored high marks.
Students were shooting 'rockets' and doing all sorts of 'Dhamaal' parallely. A 'vendor' was giving chikki, salted peanuts, imli, and such interesting stuff with pleasure.
Then sounded tolls of school bell and all 'students' were directed to go to auditorium for assembly where our Kimaya was going to make a presentation. I was compelled to go but surely Kimaya must have impressed them all.
Very few Downtowners were seen at the event, which was very superbly and meticulously organised by MPF. It was fun. We very much enjoyed it.

ARTICLES- FASHION & LIFESTYLE
Fashion and Lifestyle....... By Mrs. Preetiji Jaju ([email protected])
Dear Friends,
What is the first thing that comes to your mind when someone asks you to define fashion ? Is it "Style", "Attitude”, "being well dressed", "gracefulness", demeanour that attracts a lot of attention?
I bet that it is a combination of all these in our minds and the definition is different for each one of us based on how much weightage we attribute to these different elements.
Fashion to me is a way of life. It is a reflection of the state of mind we are in and to a large extent is a means of communicating our attitude to people around us.
Core essence to look stylish is to be fit .By Fitness, I don't mean just being physically fit, but also realisation of inner self and being stress free .Good healthy eating habits along with a disciplined workout (yoga /walk) will help you to have a positive frame of mind.
Being stylish/fashionable is your thought process combined with elegance & sublimity .Of course; it starts with dressing in a way that enhances one's personality rather than blindly following the trend. All of us are unique and the sooner we realize what looks great on us, quicker is our journey to be fashionable.
We should try different things, but when it's time to make that solid impression, rely on time and tested outfits that make the difference.
Grooming ourselves and paying attention to our natural aging process will make us even more aware of how we deal with the inevitable change around us.
Lastly, I would say that it is not appropriate to think of fashion to be applicable to women only. In today's world, men are also influenced by the trends and looking forward to differentiate themselves. This is a good beginning for times to come...
Stay fashionable with a right attitude!
Smile always :-)

FASHION
Whoever said that money can’t buy happiness, simply didn’t know where to go shopping..!!!
FASHION, one of my favourite title to write on. Fashion is something that comes from within YOU..!!! It’s a form of ART..!!! Like, fine artists choose canvases to express their thoughts, we choose the medium of clothes to express our creativity, moods, personality. The world of Fashion encompasses every sphere of our life and activities. Fashion, today has taken a front seat and is of topmost priority to every individual from every age group. The word "fashion" in itself covers a wide arena from clothing to your mode of education, to your way of communication, everything today holds a prefix to it in the form of 'OUT OF' or 'IN' fashion.
As it’s aptly said, “First impression is the last impression”. So, the impression, one gives without uttering a word, is with their overall appearance – their clothes, apparel, shoes, haircut, etc. We judge a person with just a glance at him.
By fashion, I don’t just mean trends. I believe fashion should not own you, but decide what you are, what you want to express about the way you live, reflects your personality. Fashion also defines OUR CULTURE..!!!! Fashion is something that exists not only in clothes but it is in the sky, in the street, in the air. Fashion has OMNI-PRESENCE !!!!
Fashion for “ME” is “It doesn’t matter what you wear what matters is how you feel about it.”
LIFESTYLE
A lifestyle reflects an individual's attitudes, way of life, values, or world view. It is a means of forging a sense of self and to create cultural symbols that resonate with personal identity. However, in our 21st century, the definition of lifestyle has changed. “Lifestyle is the way a person or a group lives. It includes patterns of social relations, fashion, entertainment, and dress.”
A way of living of individuals, families, and societies, which they manifest in coping with their physical, psychological, social, and economic environments on a day-to-day basis.
Lifestyle is expressed in both work and leisure behaviour patterns and on an individual basis in activities, attitudes, interests, opinions, values, and allocation of income. It also reflects people's self-image or self-concept; the way they see themselves and believe they are seen by the others. Lifestyle is a composite of motivations, needs, and wants which is influenced by factors such as culture, family, reference groups, and social class.
Lifestyle for “ME” is - “Living life on your own terms. Lead the path that feels most authentic to you and will let you live your passions. Life is thoroughly enjoyed when organized.”
FASHION & LIFESTYLE !!!
There is an intense connection between Fashion & Lifestyle…!!! For our younger generation, lifestyle is all about outer fashion, which is reflected in clothing, shoes, brands. However, for old generation, lifestyle is more about spending habit, healthy food, fitness which is again a part of inner fashion. Our lifestyle is a perfect reflection of our Fashion…!!! Anything and everything is style today.
Lifestyle, by way of fashion, has to do with confidence, with flattering silhouettes, with patterns, with proper fit for body type, and with an abundance of self-love..!!!!
BELIEVE ME - Express yourself, don't repress yourself, there is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a WE being OURSELF..!!!
Awaiting To Write Next One…!!!!
Special Thanks to our MPF Digital Team for giving “WE” MPF’ians an opportunity to express our self & write on our favourite topic..!!

For I like to make portmanteaus!
Fashion and Lifestyle are the terms nowadays often used interchangeably and sub-consciously to determine the 'social status' to certain extent. One leads to the other. So does fashion really reflect lifestyle or the vice versa is true or a mix of both? What is their influence on an individual and the society?
Gone are the days of 'Simple Living, high Thinking' philosophy based lifestyle. Such a lifestyle lacked fashion quotient. The perception of lifestyle, now, has transgressed to a trendier 'HS' fashion. Thanks to our facilitators (with full gratitude to the Internet) to have made fashion common man's reach! Erstwhile the common man paid little heed to fashion over lifestyle. Manish Malhotra, Armani and the like signatures or the high-end brands of Burberry, Rado, Harley Davidson or modified cars were few and far between. But now, it's a common sight. Every second beau on the street dons a raving moustache and VK hairdo. And if it's a damsel then you will know the latest lip and nail color and whatever is 'in' FASHION sooner than it hits the ramp!
Some reasons of fashion in day-to-day life - Fashion has been made available at very competitive rates globally. Besides, there is a serious shift in the spending behavior of the people, who now are quite fashion indulgent. As the occidental and oriental cultures interact, there is a 'give and take' process. We have traded the simple and conservative lifestyle for the more outgoing and flaunting one. The influence of interaction of cultures and globalization has definitely led to a rise in the standard of living and thus the spending power of the individuals has increased. The average income has gone higher and the erstwhile rarities in fashion now are more affordable. So, this shows that lifestyle betterment has led to the increased focus on fashion. Lifestyle has led to fashion.
Fashion also has influenced the lifestyle for good. But, per se, the apparel or accessories will only define fashion and reveal your spending capacity. It is the ATTITUDE that you pick and wear which will reflect your choice and your lifestyle – to be a follower or to be a trendsetter!

Fashion and Lifestyle
“It doesn’t matter what you wear, what matters is how you wear”
Fashion reflects lifestyle and Lifestyle reflects through Fashion. Fashion doesn’t have a single definition but it consist a huge essence of lifestyle.
Fashion plays an important role in an indivi¬dual’s life because it is considered as a means of self-expression and self presentation.
By nature, every person has inherent desire to look good, being appreciated about good looks. Each person is somewhat fashion conscious. According to a study, your fashion sense and the clothes you wear can affect your emotional state. The way we dress affects our self-esteem. The way you dress affects your mood, health and overall confidence. When you look good, you feel good inside, have more positive energy. You perform at a much higher level in your personal and professional level.
Fashion is neither stable nor eternal. It is ever-changing. Human nature is that, he wants to adopt new and beautiful things. Without fashion our life has no taste because we have adopted fashion in each step in our life. Human being cannot live on one taste. As we can’t eat same dish everyday likewise, we cannot spend our life on same fashion. We want to make our life colourful.
Fashion gives designers a chance to be independent in idea and make a new trend. Fashion shows are a tool to show the latest trend. Print and electronic media have helped to spread the fashion by showcasing the fashion statement of celebrities.
When we think about fashion, we probably think about products such as clothes, sunglasses, jewellery and so on to change outer personality. Apart from these products, we can nurture it in our personality. We can follow it in our daily activities too. Style of living, style of behaving, types of places where we live, types of food we eat, and types of activities we do, all can be changes or modified according to fashion.
If you have a better and higher lifestyle, with higher income, you can afford better designs and varied fashion. But in today’s world, due to global reach of fashion, you could still access affordable fashion and still have the satisfaction of being fashionable.
To be fashionable and maintaining current trend of fashion is not wrong, until it does not cross the limits. Be creative in what you wear, but don’t overdo it by exposing yourself inappropriately.
Be Happy and be Fashionable, Simply because you deserve to be.
Fashion and Lifestyle....... By Mrs. Priyanka Kabra ([email protected])
The word “fashion” brings on images of glamour. The fashion we follow or incorporate is largely inspired by Bollywood celebrities, award shows and fashion weeks. Also, the environment around us plays a consequential role in the kind of fashion we adapt.
Fashion also ensues the nature’s law of change! Amongst the changing variables of fashion, style is the only constant. Fashion is something that comes from within. I feel fashion is art. Fashion is therapy. Fashion is comfort. Fashion is your personality. Fashion is YOU!! However much the external forces influence our sense of fashion, it is, ultimately, the internal factors that drives our taste of fashion. It is here, where our lifestyle comes into frame.
Our lifestyle, society, peers and surroundings (as I mentioned earlier) are crucial facets in choosing the kind of clothes we wear. The way we dress up delineates the person we are. I strongly discern that fashion is a language where one communicates through clothes rather than words. It makes a mark of our personality. And as humans, our brain remembers and registers images/visuals more concretely thus leaving the appearance on a person’s mind for a longer stretch and sometimes, for eons!
To add a tad humour, I decided to ask my 9 year-old nephew “What is fashion?” He immediately replied, “Fashion is for girls!” His answer made me wonder and I began to think what must have made him say this. Racking my brain, I incurred that fashion in girls is prominently noticed because of the numerous range of options available from head to toe. In boys, whereas, the options are less. Whatever it is, but fashion is fashion and is for everyone!
Everyone can be fashionable but the art lies in carrying oneself with the same elegance, sophistication and dignity. I surmise there is one essential thing required to carry oneself – it’s confidence. Confidence is like oxygen, the survival becomes tough with its absence. It can also make a wrong outfit look right. It can never make one look under dressed or overdressed. So, if I have to synopsize the entire article in one line, it would be : Inheriting fashion with confidence in one’s lifestyle is the key mantra to walk the ramp of life!
