AS WE TURN THREE
TURNING THREE, FLASHBACK
TURNING THREE, FLASHBACK
My dear fellow members at JAGRITI SEVA SANSTHAN,
I WANT TO START WITH AN HONEST CONFESSION: I AM HAPPY TODAY. No, not just happy, I am on the verge of falling down with euphoria!!! Well I can mention at least two big , very big reasons for being in this hysteric bout of euphoria- FIRST, we were gifted with monsoon and second we completed our third year and beauty you see, lies in the fact that both happened at the same time (yes, I never expected 5 July to be so beautiful!!). So guys, as I pen down this annual write-up, I know I am just proving myself to be a Dumbo for, this is time of jubilation. Sure I am going to join you soon on this very very special occasion.
But before I end up losing my senses to the prevalent aura, I want to talk seriously for a few minutes (yes SERIOUSLY, bear with me please, as I always say). FIRST and foremost let me say something I will perhaps never be able to say in my normal state- I LOVE YOU ALL!!! My mortal senses unfailingly get catapulted to a higher state in your company. Yes JAGRITI was something I dreamt about, but it completed three years only because you dared to buy this idea. And this is the reason this write up is addressed to you.
THE PAST ONE YEAR was indeed quite happening. The admission drive for 2011 fetched us 11 more gems after a long, stressful and difficult but carefully planned and precisely executed SEARCH OPERATION in the town. Summer coaching programme was a new start that we plan to continue on the annual basis as it is the only way students of KAIRANA, especially from poor socio economic class can afford to get some really meaningful EDUCATION from nonprofessional teachers. The fact that no fee was charged only added to its utility. We did get a good response in terms of numbers and were also successful in filtering out some hidden talents on whom we are paying special attention. I am confident that, God willing, they will become the torch bearers for generation to come. But I must say those were hectic days, taking classes in morning and hunting for poor potential in the by lanes and dusty roads of kairana, it was by Allah almighty’s mercy that we withstood those testing times.
When we decided to organise the JAGRITI RATNA AWARD FOR MERITORIOUS STUDENTS function and BLOOD DONATION CAMP almost at the same time (wasn’t that almost the same time, REMEMBER just 16 hours interval) sceptics argued that we are going to screw big this time. Well, they were almost correct if conditions were to be analysed. I remember many a good friends of mine and well-wishers of SANSTHAN argued with me about the futility of such hastily planned events especially when we were facing tough times financially. Why so?? Why can’t we wait?? People will not turn up to get their blood drained in scorching summer?? And the team must be exhausted, tired?? So many ifs and buts were there that I , for once really thought about postponing one of the events . But your enthusiasm stopped me. And you proved the sceptics wrong!! From mopping the floor of programme venue to fixing the shamiyaana and arranging the furniture, you did it all by yourselves. And none of you complained. The same mountain like will power and firm determination led to the successful organisation of WINTER COACHING PROGRAMME and CAREER COUNSELLING SESSION in January this year.
But we are far away from the goals we have set for ourselves. It is just a small beginning, at best an attempt to improve, to change the existing for good, little by little, but forever.
