PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

We are proud to have our tenth issue of

Jaycee Herald. Jaycee herald is providing a

platform for all of us to put in your creative

efforts. Keep contributing and we can make

this small bulletin a worthwhile read.

Through the month….

August started off with Prathibha Puraskar for the new season.

It was a great feeling to stand before the citizens of tomorrow

of Paremakkavu Vidya Mandir to hand over JCI Trichur’s

Prathibha Puraskar to a multi-talented girl Jhanvi Jairaj. Our

Programme Director Jc. Ajay Kumar and the entire team of Jc’s

present at the venue were overwhelmed by the reception we

received from the school authorities.

One of our main event of JCI Trichur calendar, Kindafest 2015

drew in around 600 participants and it was very heartening to

note that all the stake holders, the participating students, the

parents, the sponsors and our own dear members were happy

with the event. It was a great team effort, around 30 of our

members could handle a crowd of around 2000. Special

appreciation to Jc. Ajay kumar, Jc. Varghese Paul, Jc. Sanoj V

V and Jc. Manoj K V for the efforts they have taken to support

the program director. Program Director Sudhir Achuthan has

one more feather in his cap with a stunning performance in this

Kindafest. Sudhir is turning out to be a great man- manager

and we all appreciate this great leader. I thank all Jcs, Jcrts

and JJs for the wonderful effort to make our organization

proud.

Five of our members participated in GEM 2015 which was the

Business meet of Zone XX. JCI Thiruvaniyoor really raised the

bar on the way it conducted the business meet.

Our vice president Jc. Ajith Kaimal and his fiancé Prajitha

proved their social commitment as they sponsored a lunch for

the inmates of “Snehalayam” a place for socially forgotten

people. It was great to see such a social commitment from

such young people. Salute to their good thinking.

Four of our members cleared “Effective Leadership” training

course conducted JCI and I thank Ranjith Kollanur for the

necessary guidance and congratulate the newly qualified

leaders.

Executive Vice President in charge of Zone XX, Jc Rajashri

Bhaje visited Thrissur and a very good number of members

represented JCI Trichur in the Multi-chapter meeting which was

attended by Zone President Jc. Sudhin Ashok and other Zone

officials.

Jc.Ranjith attended Nalanda 2015 and was one of the star

performers in the event.

Our socially committed Secretary Jc. Sajith Paul and Jc. Joffin

continued their social activities during the Onam celebrations

and as always contributed to the society in a larger way.

Our Jcrts and JJs had an engaging month as their preparations

for our JJ Night is in full swing. I would like to appreciate the

efforts taken by all Jcrts led by Swapna and Lakshmi for their

great initiative.

I and Ranjith participated in JCI centenary celebrations in

Hyderabad which was organized in a grand way. JCI Trichur

was recognized by the National President for the contributions

to Jaycee movement for more than 25 years.

S R Pai foundation also recognized JCI Trichur for our efforts in

the Jaycee movement for more than 25 years.

We celebrated Onam with the students of our adopted school,

GLP School, Perumanoor and distributed story books to all the

students. Also, we celebrated Onam in Bethany School,

Kunnamkulam by distributing Story books and by participating

in school’s Onam celebrations. I would like to thank Jc. Ajay

and Jc. Sudhir for their efforts.

Let me conclude this month’s note with a nice story..

A Lonely tree was growing among hot sands of dead desert. Prickly

sands covered the Wood. The Sun mercilessly burned its bark. But the

Tree kept on living in spite of all.

One day a Hawk flew over the desert. The Hawk saw the Tree and sat on

its branch. He looked around the desert and said:

— You are a strange Tree, why do you keep on living among these dead

hot sands?

Who needs you?

— You, — the Tree answered.

— Me? — The Hawk was surprised. — I don‘t need you.

— But if not me, — the Tree told, — you would have to sit on the hot

sand instead of my branches. If not me, someone, seeing you sitting on

the tree alone, would say that nobody needs you, too and would ask you

what you live for. Sitting on my branches you, Hawk, think that I need

you. The Hawk thought about it and had to agree with the Tree. If there

was no Tree, the hawk would feel himself alone and useless among this

vast desert.

Everyone is important and is there because of a reason. Let us

respect others and get respect..

Thanking you,

Yours truly

Jc HGF CA Manoj Kumar.M

The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino

Publisher – Hachette; Year of Publication – 2011; Pages – 373

The Devotion of Suspect X is not a conventional murder mystery.

Like all murder mysteries, it starts with a murder. A mystery

writer can then entice the curiosity of the reader by giving out

more clues as the story moves forward, but all the while adding

more impediments to frustrate the inquisitive reader. A good

writer can keep the reader hooked till the end when all is

revealed, only for the exasperated reader to realise the

overlooked clue that could have exposed the answer. But then

there is also a sense of failure for the writer. All the evasion has

come to naught.

Keigo Higashino waives the accepted formula. He reveals the

murderer at the beginning. But rest assured, it is very much a

murder mystery. It is just that it has been turned around on its

head. Centered on two scientists - a physicist and a

mathematician, the book revels in the competition of the two

brilliant minds.

The mathematician, the antagonist, true to his profession, relies

on simulating the future and preparing ahead for it, waylaying the

attempts of the police to identify the killer, while the physicist

attempts to break down the simulation and reveal the underlying

truth. Caught between them is the detective set out to solve the

crime.

The reader gets to read two novels at the same time. One is the

usual murder mystery, the side of police or the reader as both try

to solve it. The other side is that of the criminal or the author as

both try to evade their opponent. In mystery novels, the author

often has to identify themselves with the criminal. Only then can

they make the novel more challenging to the reader. But it is

rarely that we get to see both sides of a mystery in play.

While the original book was written in Japanese, the English

translation appeared to be a bit over explanatory in parts, but it

captures the emotions running in the story spectacularly.

Mystery novels have often held a certain enchantment with most

readers, especially murder mysteries. But they often get mixed

up with crime novels. Unlike a crime novel, a mystery novel has a

limited set of characters and relies only on the clues revealed in

the book to arrive at the solution. The reader is expected to be

able to solve it and there are times when the reader bests the

author. The quality of the novel, though, is not based on how

quickly the solution is obtained, but on the ability of the novelist

to get the reader to think deep.

Keigo Higashino delivers a classic work of mystery. It takes a

careful reader willing to read from the beginning and wait till the

end to realise it.

ONE COUNTRY, MANY YEARS! FINANCIAL YEAR UNDER THE COMPANIES ACT 2013

Section 2(41) of the Companies Act, 2013 has very clearly defined the term

‘financial year’. This amendment to Companies Act 2013 has brought in to align

with the provisions of Income Tax Act 1961.

As per section 2(41), financial year in relation to any company or body corporate,

means the period ending on the 31st day of March every year, and where it has

been incorporated on or after the 1st day of January of a year, the period ending

on the 31st day of March of the following year, in respect whereof financial

statement of the company or body corporate is made up.

This means, a private or public company’s financial year should start from 1st

April and end on 31st March of the next year. If it’s a newly incorporated

company then we have to look into the date of incorporation.

If incorporation date is before 1st January then financial year ends on coming 31st

March otherwise it will be the period ending on 31st day of March of the

following year.

For example, if a company is incorporated on 6th January, 2015 then financial

year as per section 2(41) would be starting from 6th January, 2015 and will end on

31st March 2016.

Instead of 6th January 2014, if it is incorporated on 22nd December 2014 then

financial year will be from 22nd December 2014 to 31st March, 2015. Section

2(41) further specifies that if a company or body corporate is a holding or

subsidiary of a foreign company and for this reason they are required to follow a

different financial year for consolidation of its accounts outside India then

Tribunal if satisfied, may allow any other period as the company’s financial year,

whether or not that period is a year. Companies or body corporate, existing on

the date of commencement of Companies Act, 2013, shall comply with this

section within a period of 2 years from such commencement and align with the

new financial year ending on the 31st day of March.

This means a number of companies, including large ones such as HCL

Technologies (which follows the year ending June) and Ranbaxy Laboratories

(which follows the calendar year) have to adjust their accounting cycles in coming

days.
