A month to retain, forever! -Bhishm Wahi, Nada Volunteer
It has been a roller-coaster ride from nowhere to reaching
height of my goals. Initially, being a shy boy lacking a leadership
quality to transform into a new level of upbringing which not only developed beautiful perspective into my life but also inculcated the
feeling of grown up.
With full support and trust Mr. Suneel Vatsyayan and Mrs. Pallavi
Vatsyayan embarked a responsibility rather I should say a task which on
first seems to be an impossible dream but later came out very
beautifully and successfully. Since, the ‘International Day against
Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking’ event came to an end with 10 days
long extravaganza.
My
next work got assigned to me even before I could breathe a bit from the
strain and pressure. Suneel sir’s words ‘you are going to teach
theatre to the children of bal bhawan from tomorrow’ glorified my ears
and mind. I, Bhishm Wahi, commenced a whole new journey from
Indirapuram to Chhatarpur.
My
topic was very clear in my mind none other than the drug abuse issue
and with grinned effort, a script of 3 pages (not too large) was
prepared. With the help of Sulekha Bhargava (teacher at bal bhawan) 15
children enrolled for the participation in the play and hence the
journey began. On my day 1 visit to bal-bhawan, I was pretty excited
and enthralled to teach something which I liked doing the most, acting.
From
voice modulation to grooming their personality, past month has seen a
tremendous change among children. Games, exercise and icebreaker became
a daily routine to warm-up the children as later they performed and
rehearsed in full of energy. The nostalgia made me to forget all my
sorrows and pains and completely involved my soul and mind with
children.
And, the day came when I had to bid a good-bye to such a wonderful place (bal bhawan) situated in the midst of lush greenery with peace all around and to enjoy a beautiful sunset daily in the evening. As they say, every action has equal reaction.
So,
Suneel sir didn’t let my effort go into nothing and gave me a hope to
think bigger in life. With all his grace, support and encouragement, I
successfully recorded my 15
minute of play with the help of Indian Institute of Mass Communication at their studio and now waiting for its radio broadcast very soon through ‘Apna Radio’ a community radio run by IIMC itself.
With this,my jorney with Nada India Foundation finally came to halt and I would only say it has given much more to me than I would have imagined in my life. In future, it would be my pleasure to work with such a brilliant personality Mr. Suneel Vatsyayan with a hope of LEARN, UNLEARN AND RE-LEARN.
