Securing The Knot : Bonding


'An innocent heart cannot be captured by showering presents but only by cherished moments shared with it.'

Bond between two human beings is just like a string tied amidst two hearts channeling emotions amongst them. Once a soul connects to another, the heart slips and the two souls sway with one another in the rhythm of life. In the human race, we by and large come across two sorts of bonding – one which God bequests to us in form blood relations early from the day we enter this world and the other manmade with the ones we crash into in our journey in this planet. The tie between a mother and a child knows no bounds and is undeniably a compilation of almost all the earthly ‘happy’ feelings be it be love, anger so on and so forth wrapped into a single package portrayed by just a simple word ‘Maa’.


A child’s heart freed of voracity, self –indulgence, revulsion and abhorrence bonds more fondly than those who have spent a considerable amount of time in this double faced world. Those precious humble moments that any adult spends with a toddler may be the rarest one to sense bliss in this tiring years. 

रहिमन धागा प्रेम का, मत तोरो चटकाय.
टूटे पे फिर ना जुरे, जुरे गाँठ परी जाय


Counting on the preceding famous lines of the honorary saint and poet “Rahim”, those modest beings are akin to fragile glass centerpiece are more prone to be wounded on slightest actions and consequently dealt with diligence.

Indubitably it is evident that each and every member assembling Aasra into many bodies but one soul comprehends the bonding between this altruistic group of NITR with the pure souls residing in different sectors of the steel city.Empathy leading to spread the light of knowledge amidst the mist of ignorance is one of the supreme sentiment known to the mankind. The smile generated because of minute effort fortifies exponentially this special bond. Almost every other individual skips a beat ‘coz of happiness the instant all the kids sprint forward and cuddle up against you. All other worldly experiences can barely match up to the love for those tiny ones counting the days awaiting our arrival. Watching those adorable faces gleaming with elation is beyond doubt a heartwarming sensation. Those days in Aasra shall definitely be printed in golden letters on the pages of life.

Lighting Lives, Making a Difference: Diya Project 2k17

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

SECTOR-21 AASRA-  AN EPITOME OF MAGNANIMITY     There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed.                                                                                                   – Woodrow Wilson       Each time a man stands up for an ideal, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope and those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. So did AASRA, established in the year 2005 by a group of five young enthusiasts, this club congregated with time, to become a huge family of hundreds of students and an extensive alumni network. It was set in motion with a maxim to reach out to the underprivileged sections of the society, providing educational opportunities to students and employment opportunities to the elders. Presently, AASRA has enormously grown to spread over eight workplaces and sector 21 is one among these.                  The workplace of AASRA in sector

AASRA in their words

What they feel about us. I've translated the above from Oriya to English for your easier understanding of it.                   " My self Durga Hansdah. i am in class 9th. I stay in Rourkela sishubhawan. My parents are not alive, I'm an orphan. Here all of us stay together, happily. NIT brothers and sisters come three days in a week. They teach us on Wednesday and Saturday. On Sundays, we play, sing, dance and have a lot of fun together. They visit us in the evenings, from 5 pm to 8 pm. One thing I feel that I always miss my Papa and this is the reason, maximum time i sit alone and remain silent.. When Didis and Bhaiyas come from NIT, I feel like my parents are with me and I forget everything. It makes me really happy. They also come in festivals like Rakhi and Ganesh puja. I dont have sister, but Didis have never given us a chance to feel it. They celebrate our birth days as well as of theirs also with us.                 On 26th Jan, we all go to NI
