Jeet Jayenge Hum...... Meri Jung

I was feeling little down after seeing so many hurdles and downplays.
At the right time... got a message with this song. This kind of pumped in tons of energy and positive thoughts and I am ready to fight again. Thanks for the message, Nitin!

This week, i would sit back and look at all the tools I have available. What I need to do is device a creative solution to the issues one by one. First one is my "vision book". Let me start right away.


I shall post more about my findings. Hope this week puts lot of light on the future weeks. Wish me luck.

Jindagi....Imtehan leti hai !!!

On every road, every turn, every step.. Jindagi Imtehan leti hai !!!

Last couple of months, I have been feeling tested on every skill/strength I have : Patience, listening, creativity, Social skills, organizing.. even cleanliness !!! It seems to be increasing every day, every moment. I wonder, how many other areas will be tested and when will it subside.


Currently, if I count.. there are few projects in my life:
-- Professional work
-- ISP
-- Ankur Rishikul Vidyalaya
-- Family and personal life, of course.

I was feeling so good that professional work is in the right direction and right pace too. Suddenly, a storm of changes came and things are on the ground. I am wondering, how much time it will take again to build the same strength. I just hope that it takes less. But, the bigger question is, "it worth?" Again changes will come and things will be in pieces. I need to think something different here that will enhance resilience and help us be firm even during storms.

ISP is going good. I feel it is picking up the pace now. Limitation is that I have only one head and two hands. I require more heads and hands to increase the speed and widen the coverage.

ARV is our dream with a very strong vision.
"To create scientists with attitude of an artist and Artists with an ability of a scientist".

It started off in Jan-2008 amidst lot of uncertainties. Things progressed good in one month. But, last 4-5 weeks, I am getting a feel that something is wrong. Something is missing in our efforts.
-- Teachers are not staying.
-- We got good parents sending their children to ARV. Slowly, some of them are drifting away. I am happy about one thing that inflow of such good people is higher that outflow. Hopefully, these good people enhance the positive energy around us.
-- Few things working against eg. new unfavorable one-way routes.

Family life.. this one is testing my patience. I hope things settle fast here too.

What is keeping me going ahead is the vision with which I started and missions that I (Along with my wife, Sumita) set for ourselves. Let me see how much strength these "imtehans" have and how long these can sustain testing strength of my vision.
