Hello and welcome to the Month In Review of August! It's only been two months since the commencement of the new Rotaract year, and yet so much has already been done. Along with our featured event for August: “Salty Escape” and other projects initiated by the club avenues ranging from puppies and all the way to Pakistan, we have summarized it all in this edition of the Month In Review.

The Co-Editors would like to warmly welcome you to the July edition of the Month-In-Review for the year 2022-23, which is a summation of all the events which took place in a month, published at the beginning of the succeeding month. This initiative which was begun in the year 2021-22, is now published tri-lingually the first time this year. For this purpose, we curated team comprising a pool of talented writers of all three languages i.e., English, Sinhala and Tamil who will be contributing for the first six months of the Rotaract year after which the team will be renewed for the next six months. We hope you enjoy the outlook we’ve taken for this year and that you continue…
After many long calls and embarrassing screenshots of each other during meetings, the question of how to make this year’s Editorial our own and unique was solved.
The final dialogue is to be delivered, amidst hushed silence. After a year of enrapturing performances, we now stand at the edge of the stage with our backs to the curtain - amidst the orchestra's parting outro, staring into an audience in darkness. After a year of faith and loyalty, of the highest reception and valued critique, the time has come for the Editorial to momentarily bid farewell to her beloved companion and most treasured counterpart - the Readership. But not without the commendation, love, and gratitude it deserves. So here we are, after the music has finally died out, the applause simmered away, and the lights have come back on - all in preparation for our final Curtain Call,…
And so, the day finally comes around. The day that I wake up and realize that I am no longer bound by the duties and responsibilities tethered to the post of an Editor. It’s quite funny really, because I had always known this day would come and yet, as it arrives, I’m left feeling quite odd. A strange feeling creeps in. One that I know all too well and one that I, personally, am not too fond of. The feeling of farewell. “Of all the money that e'er I hadI spent it in good company” The Editorial was my home away from home in many ways. It was a safe haven that provided me with a platform to use my…
Hello all! It’s been a while since you’ve heard from us, hasn’t it? We’re here to tell you where we’ve been and what the road ahead for us here at the Editorial looks like. The first few months, no doubt, have been absolutely electric and we couldn't be prouder of everyone in the team. December however, proved to be a rather slow month for us and if you’re wondering why, it’s because the Editorial took a much-deserved break where we gave all our writers some time to rest after what proved to be a very intense yet highly productive first five months. Trust us when we say that they deserved it. But January marks a whole new month and with…
Looking back at the whirlwind of three months we’ve passed since the election of the new Board, we believe it’s safe to say that in our innocence, neither of us imagined a leap of such monumental proportions that transported us from being mere literary enthusiasts who occasionally (and might we add, quite enthusiastically) peer-reviewed each other’s work, to heading the Rotaract Editorial as Co-Editors. Let us be clear, we are not strangers to the fact that this is a rather ambitious feat in itself. For the first time in Rotaract history, the creative decisions are made by not one, but two editors working in synchronicity. And in the light of this alarming realization, we have now found our collective consciousness…
