12th December 2009, Installation Night

Brethren,  Saturday 12th December 2009, Installation Night of Saxena, the young vibrant lodge of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Ireland in India.. It is not my calling her so, but by many a distinguished visitor, to our lodge, and I am proud of being a member . Till about 3 in the afternoon I was not sure if I would make it, having fallen a victim to  the flu. But I was determined to be there. I felt OK , not good . I wouldnt miss the Installation, beside being the Secretary, Bro. Ramakrishnan is my Initiate of 2000.


The evening was wonderful, with about 34 of our regulars and about 8 visitors. The WM , W.Bro.Gokulan, rocked the evening.He certainly did his homework, and well,. not that Bro.Ramakrishnan did badly, he was as good. It was difficult to judge who did better, they both were wonderful.


At the banquet, W.Bro. Ramakrishnan made one hell of a speech, which floored every one (for a rare standing ovation). Ramki, I knew that all the while that you had it in you, the eloquence , the words , the rhetoric. He made my evening. And today I am back in bed again, not that I indulged in excess. I thoroughly enjoyed the evening, and would have been more, had I not been  under the wheather. Ramki, you will have a great year. Thanks be to all those Wonderful Masons around you.

W.Bro. K Chandra Mohan.

11th July 2009 - Initiation

I thought that it was a fairly good evening well spent, last Saturday. Our candidate Dr.P.R.Vijay, I call him Madam Vijay (he is a Gynecologist ) was a soft spoken well mannered young man. I suppose being a gynecologist one has to be so. The various portions allotted to brethren were well done. But the D/C should be a little more watchful during the rehearsals to avoid blundering by brethren. Bro. Jayaprakash, the candidates brother in law, (JP has married the candidates sister), who did portion of the ritual was amazing. He most certainly has the brother in law impressed and most of us too. He was so good, to be told that he is also an amateur actor. JP keep up the good work. Banquet was good, but if the time at the festivities were reduced may be we can see a little more discipline at the table. Now a twelve week wait for Bro.Vijay to go up the ladder.
