A letter of gratitude


I wish to Thank God for showering me, with so much love. 




My parents Jyotsna Singh and Raj Kishore Prasad are the best gift I have got. They went beyond their capacity to nurture us. Our mom and dad fulfilled all our wishes by killing even their smallest desires. The picture of the day when my mom took a loan of Rs 5000 from her colleague to buy me a camera for my Journalism will always be there in front of my eyes. I never saw her buying a single saari for herself. She was contented with whatever she got from others. 
Our parents taught us to take our own decisions and always stood by us in whatever we did. 

When my family wanted me to get married, God sent an angel in the form of Ankit who is my shoulder in times of pain and pleasure. The best thing about Ankit is that he has shown full trust in me and has given me complete freedom to lead my life the way I want. Getting a husband who respects and values your passion is rare to find, at least in Indian society where women are always supposed to stand behind the man and not equal or ahead of him. As part of my mission ‘Ecoplore’, I travel to different places, stay in hotels and houses of friends and strangers, be with people who are not even known to Ankit. I am lucky to have a husband who never stops me in pursuing my dream.

Along with Ankit, God gifted me a new family, his parents and his brother, all of whom also became my pillars of support. Although in the beginning, my relations with my in-laws were a bit tough but gradually it has smoothened. They showered their love and showed their patience and I learnt my lessons. 

With God’s grace, I have a great bonding with both my brother and sister. Me and my sister Geetanjali fight a lot but we know that our fights are filled with lot of love. Thank you God for gifting us with a brother like Roshan who is one of the most emotional man I know and wishes to get rid of all his emotions. As Geetanjali says, our brother is very big hearted. He can donate or offer anything he possesses. 

I Thank God for connecting me to Maria who set before me a real life example of a true friend. We met in college and have successfully completed 11 years of friendship.

Thank you God for connecting me to all the volunteers of Anna movement and Aam Aadmi Party. And, Thank you for making me meet innumerable souls who are working for the betterment of humanity. 

Thank you for writing my destiny the way you wanted. It has always been better than what I wished for!

People's queries for People in Power

I am a 23-year-old educated youth in the phase of understanding the scheme of things. As we pass through this eventful year of 2011, there are hundred and one questions boggling my mind. If those in power are listening, please respond to these queries from a common man.   Questions to Political Leaders When the nation is asking for a strong Lokpal Bill due for the past 40 years, why is the executive diverting attention by throwing cards of Muslim quota within OBC reservation and FDI in retail? Is institution like Lokpal a platform for providing jobs that some of our leaders are demanding reservation in it? Why are crucial Bills like Lokpal, Citizens' Charter not made accessible to common Indian through govt Websites while they are being tabled in Parliament? When govt can publish long ads explaining its version of Lokpal Bill during Anna's fast at Ramlila Maidan, why the Bill is not published when it's introduced in the House? The irony is that the m...

What is Ecoplore?

Image
All of us love to go on holidays. It is important for us to get away from the hectic city life to rejuvenate ourselves.  On a holiday you would normally stay at a hotel, have breakfast, hire a taxi and go for sightseeing at a tourist destination full of other travellers. Those two days of hard earned leave, you had taken to relax and have some peace also goes waste into crowd, noise and pollution, this time not in your city but at the tourist destination.  Ecoplore comes with a breathe of fresh air…. All the eco-stays provided by Ecoplore are located in exotic locations. They are a bit far from the main town of the tourist destination. There is no crowd, no pollution and of course no honking cars. You are provided with all the three meals, morning and evening tea and snacks and a lot of activities. These activities could be trekking, water surfing, river crossing, ladder climbing, mountain biking, rappelling, rock climbing and many others depending on the location. The...

How I fell in love with 6 kids?

Image
Here's is the story about one of my most memorable journeys. I went to Kanyakumari to work on a Tamil feature film. The idea was to detach myself from my love but actually I got attached to 6 kids. Vella Panni is a Tamil feature film and it was my first experience to work in a feature film. I was given the role of an administrator and also as Director’s Assistant. I made lists, did some coordination and management and later on took care of the 6 leading artists who were kids woking in the movie. This was my first experience of working with the kids. When I told my mom that I am taking care of six kids, she was surprised. I was a person who could hardly spend 10 minutes with children. But, situation changes and we also change. I loved and enjoyed loving and playing with the kids. I miss them. The kid who played the role of Krishna was the naughtiest of all. He hardly listened to anyone. I will always remember how he opened a packet of surf excel, threw it, so...
