A Step Towards a Goal

-
                How does a journey start.....by just thinking over it? NO! It starts when we take our first step towards it. Milestones can be achieved, every goal can be accomplished.....but take that first step, start working towards it and you will see miracles happening. You will see things will work out as per your will.....suddenly you will find time in your busy schedule, you’ll get support from every person around & this Universe will make it happen.
                Such a step, of seeing Mumbai become Shanghai, has been taken. An organization called Blue Ribbon Movement(BRM), along with Praja – a NGO and Mumbai First,  has started a project called 1916 – A Super Hero. It involves NSS volunteers of various colleges across Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane, etc. The aim of the project is to promote 1916 – A Centralized Complaint Registration Number of BMC. This project, along with 1916 awareness, aims at a co-ordinated effort of BMC and citizens of Mumbai to keep Aamchi Mumbai free from all civic problems and help the city grow. This project comes under a Leadership program called NSS-CCF (Community Connect Fellowship) – Learning through Social Service. In this program, the students undergo leadership training by learning various values like INTEGRITY, STAND TO COURT concept, NOT Leadership but LADDERSHIP! The students also lodged civic complaints to BMC through the number 1916 and helped BMC know the problems across the city of Mumbai and solve them efficiently.
                Thus, as the institution believes, TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER, it has taken a BIG first step towards accomplishing the dreams of the millions by getting all the youngsters together. Be a part of this project to do our part towards our city Mumbai. Know more about BRM by visiting their official site www.brmworld.org .

TRUST

“ Trust is like an eraser; it gets smaller and smaller with every mistake.” - Anon Well this quote surely defines trust completely. Have you ever wondered how we human beings have started doubting more and trusting less ? I came across this thought after I witnessed the following 2 incidents: Incident 1: Me and my family went for a drive to a small hill nearby. We were at the hilltop where there were very few people around.   While we were enjoying the small tunnel that passed through the hill and clicking some #nightlife pictures, we saw an old lady at a distance. Her presence was not much of a concern till the time she was away. The moment she started approaching us, a wave of panic crossed our minds. General human habits - when you see some stranger at night, you are prone to doubt their genuineness. She started speaking to us about something in a language quite alien to us! Because of her constant nagging and following us, we finally decided to leave

Lock down has literally shown us that “History repeats itself!” While we go back in time with Ramayan, Mahabharat, Shaktiman on TV and some good family time like we had in summer vacations, I thought why not go back in time and revise some mindful lessons learnt. In my article - A Step towards a Goal ( Click here ), I had mentioned about  Blue-Ribbon Movement  and its purpose.  Being a volunteer with them for two & a half year, I have surely met some great people, spoken about civic issues which every Mumbaikar faces everyday but refuses to acknowledge and learnt some valuable lessons which have helped me daily. With a beautiful format of activity-based learning , NSS – Community Connect Fellowship (CCF) involved us into the actual theme of connecting with and helping the community. Some activities involved learnings while doing our civic duties like below: 1. Finding civic problems and raising complaints to the BMC/NMMC/TMC/KDMC: This acti

College to Corporate

JOB – a really big achievement for an individual after their graduation. And the best way an Engineering grad can get his job is through the campus recruitment. Like many others, I too had a good fortune to get placed in an IT firm through my college campus recruitment and surely it was the best day ever.  Corporate life is what I was waiting for. The excitement to start a new phase as an IT professional was quite much more than one could expect. This new world stands in front of you, waiting to make you a part of it. The only things that you move along with are the values and principles your college has given you and the articles which inspire and educate you like “Do’s and Don’ts on first day of your job”. The college to corporate journey was thus to begin. My first day too was what I looked upon eagerly. How the culture would be? How much should I change to adapt to this professional life? etc. were the questions I was travelling with. And not much to my surprise I found an
