As the days passed by, my horizon
expanded and reached at a new level where many things were still to learn,
unlearn and relearn.Working with Nada India Foundation (NIF) has given me a
new approach towards society and to develop the quality of serving others
first.
Our next agenda was to have a
workshop at homeless shelters at Yamuna Pusta and Jama Masjid. I was dreaded to
be among the drug addicts because of my stereotypical mindset for such people
that they are nothing but useless bunch of losers. One of the main purpose of
having this workshop is to make feel people about their worth in life which
also proved me wrong the moment I got to know them personally and at the same
time changed my mind set.
Suneel Sir successfully organized
counseling session with the homeless people and their staff, patiently listened
to their problems, hardships they face in day-to-day life. They talked
endlessly of how drugs have ruined their life and how vulnerable they have
become.
For instance, I came across a
painting full of English Quotes and was amused that a person who is only a
āthelle walaā can also writes such correct English.
On a closer talk with him, he
told me his lifeās story that: How hardships and bad conditions have made him
to live in a shelter.
This man, in his 50ās, hails from
Shimla, studied till high school, comes from a very good family with his
brother has his own start-up at Shimla. Due to lifeās unending sorrows has made
him like the way he is today.
These two instances have taught a
great big lesson that no matter what comes to your way, one shouldnāt lose
self-confidence and should have the courage to face the problem.
