A TINY VOICE SPEAKS.... CAN YOU HEAR??



Bright eyes shining with dreams,
With smiles greet,hopes up to brim.
In silence a hundred questions ask,
With all innocence,their grief try to mask.
         On landing up at any such place where flowers are assumed to blossom without any water,and any other form of care; one cannot help but wonder,"Arent we losing out a lot"?Those bright eyes do really have dreams. Someone says,"I want to be a doctor";another says,"I want to learn about computers".
          The generosity of the Sun even teaches us a lot as not to let these beautiful flowers wither without water.Claiming ourselves to be excellent investors of time,we  definitely can see the interest returns of nurturing their talents .No matter how busy we are;attending jobs,running an organisation or being the CEO of a company we can still find time to contribute our part in adding beauty to the world.Going out of our way to make certain small acts a part of our way may cause little difference is what we may tend to think,but it is not so.Opening windows of the mind and letting go these doubts regarding how significant a contribution we can make, an altogether new picture presents itself;fresh,vivid and exceedingly breathtaking.
           Service doesnt mean flipping a coin to the bowl of a beggar.Some do so,and then like triumphant warriors walk out with swollen pride.A small act of service doesnt take much time or effort, but the power of that little act to cause difference in someone's life is enormous.It conveys a message that we remember our duty as humans, and that we really care.
             When we add colours to someone's life in form of a rainbow,it touches our hearts too.We may stand where we are,but richer with bliss,satisfaction and a sense of worthiness.Once we reach a decision not to bargain for time, but to invest even a little with all our will,then this richness will be ours!It is really wonderful;how when we become harbingers of happiness for those sad eyes;somehow, in ways unknown more happiness starts flowing into our lives.These flowers, a few words for them:
Even as so small, they know to give,
Love and warmth which we all try to seek.

Jagda: Of Little Hearts and Mighty Dreams

Image
A Family, Together Forever As cliched as it sounds, I am still honestly relieved that we are done with 2020 now. Yes, I know it’s just a change in a single digit, and globally the situation remains roughly the same but still. It’s only two months into 2021, and India, especially, seems to be in a much better place in terms of the pandemic. AASRA isn’t to be left behind then. We have had the integration of new inductees and foundation day celebration to begin the year with. Hopefully, we will have much more to come. All optimism around the new year aside, 2020 was definitely a hard year for us. For a club that works locally, this situation presented unprecedented challenges. But it’s not in AASRA’s culture to give up and we continued offering our services wherever possible. One of the workplaces where the teaching-learning process continued throughout the year is Jagda.  We began teaching online in July and thanks to the dedicated efforts of the members, we are still going strong.

Lighting Lives, Making a Difference: Diya Project 2k17

Image
New clothes, sweets, crackers. Diwali is a time of joy and celebration. But there are many who aren't fortunate enough. For the poor, buying things during festivals can be nothing but a far fetched dream. We at AASRA believe that there's no greater joy than the joy of serving the poor and the less fortunate ones. Each year, we create employment opportunities for dozens of poor women during Diwali, so that they have enough money to celebrate the festival of lights with their families. DIYA PROJECT is our greatest and most awaited project every year, for which every volunteer of AASRA puts in a lot of effort (and love). We buy diyas from a wholesale seller, and buy decorative items such as glitter powder, paints etc. We go to three workplaces and ask the women there to decorate these Diyas for us. Our volunteers roam around the campus of NITR, visiting faculty and students and taking orders for diyas from them. These decorated diyas are sold for a profit, and the profits are g
