Initially when I
tried visualizing the "10 gramya manthan" days it seemed I would be coming out of my normal daily schedule to adapt a new
one , would be away from my beloved
family, friends back home , I would be going to new villages to understand them
and their problem and even doubted what facilities would to be provided .
But now more then 10 days have already passed and
these possibilities mentioned above all look
Deepened into the
bottom of the pit of memories and what remained
is shining like a beacon , shouting like a roar of lion ,attracting like
a magnet ,drenching my eyes every hour
and asking why just 10 days.
Frankly speaking I
went from the family but only to make a new one , found a new daily schedule
only to find it was normal in fact far more self satisfying then the previous one . The family of 40
people which I never realized till 22nd
june and they were all different
at the same time they all looked converging with my thoughts and that
was the beauty of the program.
I learnt to listen
atleast to some extent , could present in front of many people without the
pebble of hesitation , came out of my comfort zone to interact with so many of
them ( with few I could have done more which I still regret).
Transition started
to come during the 2nd day of our visit to village (in my case it was
tishti) , met with a family whose head
could earn only in few months of the year , all sleeping in a small room on the
plastic still never showed his back for
the education of his 3 children. The eldest being a pretty girl doing her b.sc
hiding behind a veil was inspirational
and a eye drenching phenomena. It was perhaps the 1st time I was roaming
around in 45 degree hot summer visiting
new homes with only 3 hours of sleep for
last 4 days and still could find my
passion dissolving all the tiredness . Then at the night we discussed ,
conversed , shared and then would present the solution which everyday would
take a leap ahead .
Sessions by Sir
Elango , Ravi Sir was easily gained the top list of people I ever heard and
including many others. The encouragement , amenities , received by us were
adding only feathers to our list of growing experience . And till the last day
came they all culminated to make it a life time experience .
As this program ends
but its memories have just started to stretch and grow making a hell of
experience
If I am on the
missing side and at the same time pride feeling peeping and citing "YES I
HAVE BEEN THE PART OF GRAMYA MANTHAN".
I look to join them at least join the village to implement to what we
had presented their for the people there have started expecting , they have
broken the realms of their dreams , wishes and we cant leave them in the
between.
We need wish …….and
they(villagers) need far more.
