Back in Mumbai

Day before yesterday I had been to Mumbai to attend our TFI 09 fellows graduation and our end of the year summit.
The start for this journey was amazing and the entire trip has been full of surprise.
First surprise we had to get up in the non airconditioned bus during the period of summer at its peak.
Second the journey exceeded up to 6hours from 4 hours.
Third no arrangements for water or cold drinks in the auditorium.

We all felt like fools did journey for 6 hours and at the end got no water to drink.

But our amazing 09ers and kids with their awsome performances and talks took our pain and gave us immense satisfaction.
Mostly all the 10ers of us were there to stand up and give loud applause for what they believed on and what they did to bring CHANGE!

After biding adeu, we 10ners walked on our own way with much inspiration and sense of oneness for the first time.

I got the priviledge to be the guest of my best TFI friend Vikas bhai. Had amazing night to be there and talk about their class and scenerios in Mumbai.

Next day was our summit at Godreg's auditorium. It was gr8 to meet all and make some funny spoop of "Sheela ki jawani" song and to know the growth we brought upon in total.

                                          And then bidding adeu to our friends in Mumbai returned to Pune. Love Pune as the climate is so pleasnt.

Lets eradicate the weight of illeteracy from the shoulder of KIDS!

TRUE TEACHER

I have completed my 18 years of learning from school to college and then again 2 years of masters in college. Ofcourse got excellent teachers in my life and I salute their ability to transform my life at different aspects.

I too had same wish to become teacher and try to transform someone life from monotony to an enlightening and enthusiastic vision. I too wished for the same kind of respect from students as I have for my Prof. Azmatullah sir.

But forgot one most important thing “ Respect cannot be dreamed it is earned” and one should never work for respect, it’s a thing which develops among others for you spontaneously.

The day came, I joined as a teacher not for some 14- 18 yrs students but for 6-7 years kids. First thought that ran across “ It’s good to work here, now these kids will love me if I deserve their love”

Days went off I started growing affection and immense love for my kids!

They no more remained THE KIDS, they turned to MY KIDS. People often made fun of that statement, but it no more mattered to me. The most important thing turned up is my kids. Taking class became more important than studying for my education,  they finally invested me for them.

As I entered in the class 2nd to my co-teacher, I started loving to be working hard as secondary person. Those wishes  do not matter to me now. My aim has become to give more and expect none in return! Only single thing which I expect now is a kiss from my small tiny kids as that makes me feel as if I have been touched by a HOLY, SERINE AND PURE HEART.

Now I enjoy being standing at a corner and see them performing their best with confidence!

I do not know if they admire me or not????????

If they love me or not?????????

But only thing matters to me AM I DOING BEST FOR MY KIDS OR NOT?

TODAY THEY ARE MY KIDS! MY OWN! THEY ARE ONE OF THE MOST ESSENTIAL PART OF MY LIFE AND MY DREAMS, ONLY the wish I now keep in me is “ When I will leave them, God let them not remember who I was or what I did, only let them remember the moral ethics and knowledge which will enable to grow them up into a good human being”

Today I understood the man I admire .He never took any praise or token of love as he never bothered for them. The one thing he bothered of was US……………………………………………………..

Way of taking things

Its very tough for one to be in happiness for a long time! yes! its so.

If I am happy! sometimes I feel, Is everything fine?????
why have not I been in any problem?
why I am not yet into any dilemma?
I do not know why should I be so much asking for trouble when I hate it the most!
Why am i so much fascinated about my tough times than being happy?


MAY BE I FACED TROUBLE MORE THEN HAPPINESS!!

Mind speaks: That is something to think of!
I : Why?? am I not deserving candidate for happiness or trouble gives me the feeling of satisfaction and belief on me to over come it.

Mind: May be the second one. And why not? look at you, you are still into inviting dilemma when you have been graced with happiness and delight.

I: So what should I do I can see shadow of grief coming towards me. Do I have any option to break it or skip it?

Mind: Truly!! Yes You do. Its you and you can gain satisfaction and belief after succeeding the problem and bring good time for your own self. only with one difference  i.e now you will think about the success you gained not the trouble you were with. 

7 months in TEACH FOR INDIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Decisions about the future seems very inspiring, masti wala and lot more, but it is one of the most complicated step which give you a chance to prove your confidence and ability. Failing to do so will result to insult and loss of trust from your most close and own relations.
Once I was in the same position last year 2009 where I was intimated that I have been selected to serve my country in the field of education. I was unaware to the fact what should be my reaction to it. The reason behind is I was pursuing entirely different course which take me to different world not in social service and once I change my route from it will cause harm to my future. My father was well acquainted to the fact. So it took a lot of time to make him understand the wish I have within me and the matter got settled by a deal between us.
At last it was 16th July I stepped in the training centre at IIIT pune. The insti had excellent ambience around and made me feel better and more focused. I entered in the hostel where arrangements were made and met my excellent roommate and true friend of mine Shivram ( we call kp). That day itself we got the privilege to meet the former PRESIDENT OF INDIA, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. I was thrilled to know about it and met the great Indian educationist. That was an fantastic exposure and increased my hope from TFI. After return we were resting and everyone was keep on telling the same thing " Today you people escaped but tomorrow you will see the actual scene"
I was clueless and next day my roommate make me wake up at 6 am and only repeated one word HURRY!!!!!!!!!!!. We got ready by 6:35 and ran to the training class. Already people were inside and I felt bad being late. Time went on I got to know situations there and greeted and got greeted by many people and soon I became the integral part of a group of awesome people. We got the chance to teach small kids and we were happy. Time passed and training got over. The last day was full of remorse as we all will be sent apart.
I with my best friend Kavi got EPIPHANY SCHOOL and our co-teachers. RONALD JOSEPH is my co-teacher and he and kavi's co-teacher SRIKANT BHAIYA played the vital role in my life. We got new home and we 7 TFI are together. A pause came in my life when my parents visited Pune and unfortunately we were thrown out by house owner and we all landed up in Ronnie's and bhaiya's home. It apparently became TFI community hall, from inside I was bearing the guilt of putting them into trouble. But we got a new room and I spent one day of their visit at the new place.
My class of beautiful and smart kids have changed my thought and personality. They have simplified my way of perceiving the things. Those superstars have beautified each day of 7 months at Epiphany School and today I am proud to declare that my class speak good English and the max credit goes to my bro Ronald.
Yehhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! he is my bro! I have a family now which people say SWARGATE BOYS. I have three brothers one sis and bhaiya bhabi and one more inclusion of brother that’s our CHOTU kaus!
I have a happy family and hope this New Year brings the best prosperity to my Family.
