Now its tme for the action As our OB prof Fr Tony Uvary says its the Forming stage .. we all come up wid differnt ideas,everyone is full of zeal and energy, hours go by, hours turns to days .. still no clear sight of the goal .. Its high time now, the deadline is approaching .. we visit a lot of NGOs,orphanages,slums .. some are quite well off and some would take too long time to make any visible outcome ..
One fine day again we go on our hunt to find the target area(one of the few marketing terms i hv learnt here ..)..We come to this place in 'jaydev vihar',Bhubaneswar . After a lot of enquiry from the local peoples we reach a school for the slum children,bt wat we found broke our hearts .. it was a small room wid no doors,lights,fans .. the roof was almost collapsing .. and there were children .. believe me it was not a small number .. there are around 50 children for whom that was the school.
With a twinkle in our eyes(finally we have found a place to start of) and broken hearts(we visualized our childhood and tried to correlate) we decided to start our work.

The Beginning
"Zindagi jine ke do tarekke hote hain..ek jo ho raha hai hone do..bardasht karte jao..aur dusra ..Zimedaari uthao use badlne ki" -RDB
"Live for nothing or die for Something" -John Rambo
Well these sayings are too much to live up to.. But wat the heck of givin it a try ..we may be dreamers .. but we are not the only ones. What we plan to do is a quite small but its has power to transform a whole generation - 'the butterfly effect' as wise men say.
Every journey starts wid a single step and thus it begun for us.
Bunch 10 individuals,big dreams,aspirations afterall MBA degree from XIMB .. gonna be managers .. make it big in life .. a posh house .. a nice car n lots of moneyyyy ofcourse .. wats MBA without loads of moolah.
Our wants are unlimited and there is nothing on the planet which can give us the elusive satisfaction .. bt wat if we can make small difference in the life of someone ..... bring a smile on someone's face... believe me the pleasure derived out of that is simply divine.
Thus we embark on our journey .. the destinaton is not clear,the horizon is not visible,but we have faith .. and yes we can and we will make a difference
