| The Harem Globetrotters' Charter |
1. The Harem Globetrotters is neither a club, nor an organization. We are rather, an Order.
2. It is not possible to "enrol" in The Order of The Harem Globetrotters. Membership is "by invitation only!", which makes it even more lucrative.
3. The initiation ceremony is performed by singing "The Harem Globetrotters' Official Anthem".
4. Once initiated into the Order, membership is for a lifetime (you can't carry over the membership to the netherworld).
5. You can check out from the Order at anytime you want, but you can never leave
6. The Anthem may not be sung in public. It can only be sung to another member of the Order.
7. After initiation, a new member will be given the status of "cub", until he/she is fully ingrained into the Order. The process is complete only after a full "education session" by the existing members of the Order.
8. Members have to compulsorily follow the "Established Practices" (see the 'Whats in a name? - Part II' thread) of the Order
9. Any communication through this website should never contain the members' full names (except that of the car, Vishalakshi)
10. Divulging information that is secret to The Order (such as the 'anthem') to outsiders could lead to undesirable consequences.
11. The decisions of The Grand Council (RM, RS and SS) are final and binding to all members
Signed,
The Harem Globetrotters. |

| All work and no play? |
On December 13th, 2007, The Harem Globetrotters emerged triumphant in XPRESS-IT, the Intra-SAP Dumb Charades competition. To put it in Winston Churchill's perspective, it was "blood, toil, tears and sweat".
We were not so 'spectacular' in the preliminaries held on the 5th of December, finishing fourth out of eight qualifiers. But then, hard work (with hardly any office work) gave its dividents. Weekends and after-office hours were spent in practice, to extent of driving all the way upto Devanahalli to continue practising.
It paid off as we went on a romp in the finals, to clinch the title.
Of course, what clinched it was that before we went on stage, we sang the "Harem Globetrotters' Official Anthem"
The point proved here was: WE CAN SUCCESSFULLY KEEP OUR MOUTHS SHUT IF WE CHOOSE TO |
