"A night at the call centre", I thought was the most
unexpected night that could happen in one’s life. But, recently I have realized
that not only night, but also a day at some place that one had thought in life
can be of a similar kind. Dreams and aspirations play a vital part in one’s life,
if you just dream, it’s not necessarily vital but aspirations add life blood to
dreams.
Some thing of a similar kind happened with me last Saturday.
I had been dreaming about becoming an Air Force Pilot, some times a Teacher and
sometimes even Miss. World, but they only had images in my eyes, not in my
mind. I never aspired to become the same, so I never became serious at becoming
the same. Today that’s the only reason I am working with an IT co. and not with
the Indian Air Force or some convent school nor am I doing ramp modeling for
Lakme India Fashion Week. But, there was one thing that had been in my
conscience since my childhood days.
It was even carried in my adulthood and still prevails
inside me till date. Apart from the person I am and the way I lead my life, I
had always aspired to some or the other ways do something for the sake of
others. Those others, who don’t belong to my breed neither, are they my blood
relatives, nor do I have any other friendly relation to them. Some unknown
figures that I am connected, only for the sake of humanity. The bond that every
human shares and wants to be shared, in case of need.
I had always wanted to help some needy people around me. I
never left any chance in my life to fulfill those requirements that had been in
my hands. But, last Saturday, I got an official chance to visit an NGO , in
Jaipur , itself. It had been the beginning of my aspiration, to do something for
the needy. It was my first experience at
such a place. I had no idea of how and what had to be done. Its an NGO that takes
care and trains such students, who couldn’t continue their normal studies, due
to either family problems or life constraints.
One of my immediate junior works there and I got this golden
opportunity just because her. Firstly, I thank her to make me meet such
wonderful folk of people. I was invited as a guest lecturer, for throwing
lights on Retail segment of business world and certain soft skills training as
well.
As I entered the room I could watch all the faces light up
in anticipation, for learning something new from a new face. They all stood up
together and I could feel the respect they had for the GURU, who would teach
them, the right path for their bright future, a head. I started with a small
dot that I drew on the white board and invited ideas about what they thought
about it. They answered well, but not what I actually wished to extract. They found
a simple dot, a full stop and point in it, but I wanted them to realize the
beginning of a line from that point. Explaining them the other side of the coin
was great as they were paying full attention to every word, I spoke.
I poured out whatever I felt could had helped them. They were
full of questions and curious to know about things, happening around. Giving
them lessons about soft skills, I could feel what they most feared was about
their communication skills. I gave them the tips and tricks to improve them
without much effort and pain. The satisfaction they had on their face, released
a real strength in me. I felt as good as it was the best thing I had done in
ages.
Concluding the class, I brought them back to the dot that I
had drawn on the white board in the very beginning, but this time I could see
the changed angle of their minds. At last some one asked me about my
introduction, it was then that I realized that I was so involved with them, that
I hadn’t even introduced myself.
The best thing what I loved was that ,they were not only
keen about themselves, but equally respected and wanted to know the person ,
who was taking care of them. I enjoyed being with them and would definitely
move forward if I get a chance to associate with them or any other NGO as well
in future.
This was my aspiration, and I got to achieve it more. This
was just a mere beginning. There is also a request for all to kindly find some
time from your busy schedule for betterment of all such things that really need
an aid.
You never know that a moment spared for them could add millions of
happy moments to their lives ……..
“HOPE AND WISH ALL SUCH
FACES TO CARRY SMILES ON THEIR FACES AND SUCEED D MOST IN LIFE”
