At the\u00a0<strong>Rotary International Regal Pre-PELS<\/strong>\u00a0in Naukluea, Thailand,\u00a0<em>Be Happy, My Way \u2013 When Life Presses the RESET Button<\/em>\u00a0by\u00a0<strong>Rtn. Ranjit Bijoor<\/strong>\u00a0did both.<\/p>\n<p>What began as a book launch quietly transformed into an emotional awakening. The hall, filled with Rotarians and delegates from across Asia, fell silent as\u00a0<strong>Padmashree Dr. Mukesh Batra<\/strong>\u00a0opened the first copy. \u201cMore than the book, it\u2019s the inspiration,\u201d he said. \u201cNot just Rotarians, but anyone who reads this will find their life changed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The evening\u2019s most touching moment came when\u00a0<strong>Ajahn Mae Chee Brigitte<\/strong>, the revered Buddhist nun of the Naukluea Monastery, turned the pages and stopped to wipe away tears. She asked for a signed copy \u2014 no applause followed, only a long, shared stillness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>District Governor Rajan Duaa<\/strong>, who hosted the evening, presented a\u00a0<em>Scroll of Honour<\/em>\u00a0to\u00a0<strong>Rtn. Ranjit Bijoor<\/strong>, describing the book as \u201ca reflection of Rotary\u2019s greatest value \u2014 rediscovering purpose through service.\u201d\u00a0<strong>PDG Rajendra Agarwal<\/strong>\u00a0then added a line that has since gone viral among Rotarians:\u00a0<em>\u201cThe only thing you don\u2019t get on Amazon is happiness.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Since that night,\u00a0<em>Be Happy, My Way<\/em>\u00a0has travelled faster than any press release. Rotarians from India to Singapore have shared how it made them pause, forgive, or simply breathe again. One club has pledged to distribute a hundred copies as part of its community wellness drive.<\/p>\n<p>For\u00a0<strong>Ranjit Bijoor<\/strong>, who leads\u00a0<strong>BritishLearning.UK<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>Pranasattva.AI<\/strong>, the response has been overwhelming. \u201cI thought I was launching a book,\u201d he said later. \u201cI didn\u2019t realise it would launch a movement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em> If you have any objection to this press release content, kindly contact pr.error.rectification@gmail.com to notify us.
