2 things to share
Friends, I have 2 things to share with you.
1. Indian Newslink Community Award.
I was proud and humbled to receive an award in October for the community work in Christchurch. Almost all other awardees were from the north island, so it was quite an honour to be recognised there and represent not only Christchurch but the South Island.
The bonus was that I received the award at the hands of Blackcap Jeet Raval, also of Indian ethnicity. Attached here is the photo taken by the official photographer.
Indian Newslink is an English fortnightly published from Auckland since 1999, both as an on-line and print version. They run business awards as well as sports and community awards.
2. Lottery Committee. I have been appointed by Department of Internal Affairs on two of the Lottery funding committees, namely:
- Lottery Significant Projects Fund
- Lottery Community Facilities Fund
I was at Wellington recently to attend the first (training) meeting. There are 4 other members - 2 from DIA, 1 from Auckland (of Chinese ethnicity) and 1 from Gisborne (Maori). I feel honoured and privileged to 'represent' Christchurch / South Island at these funding committees.
🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠
A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?
(Susan from Massey kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Susan!)

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
☔️ Where’d the summer go?
It’s the talk of the town (and every coffee queue): the Canterbury "summer" has felt a bit wet this year! We’ve definitely had our fair share of grey skies and raincoats lately 🌧️ In fact, the Post reports that Christchurch experienced almost double our usual!
While the forecast is looking bright for this weekend (fingers crossed!), we aren't out of the woods ... there are a few more cold fronts lining up before winter hits.
We want to hear from you: What are your go-to rainy-day activities? Whether you’re a local legend at the indoor courts or a professional movie-marathoner, share your secrets with us!
