I have had many things going on in my life....my mind has been churning thoughts....and i did not had time to write it all... well in Calvin's word's i have put my thinking cap on....and started typing on.. (penning down is obsolete now..:D)
Here it goes...
The gennext is always consious about latest trends...be it clothes...accessories...or style...whats Haute....so m i making sense??? check it out....the latest trend doing round in the IT fraternity of Gennext in 'saadi dillli' is none other than social service....all MNC's do there bit...donating money....few working hours.....encouraging there staff to give back to society...i am not untouched by it......few of my friends n me, started it with all sincere devotion..honest intentions..and noble hearts....we found lot of possibilities...lot of scope for improvisation...but short of volunteers...and offcourse time...so we decided why not to ask our colleagues who share this passion wth us...so we declared the match open...and this fad hit our office in full force...we were happy to see so many people enlisted .....we were happy now we can go ahead with a smooth schedule....now we can really make a difference....but we werent aware what ugly mess it could turn into...then it started....the endless cycle of meetings...some meaningful...some full of non-sense.....ideas...came pouring...rather... raining cats 'n' dogs.....some of them are.....
we will ask kids to draw cards....which we will gift to the senior management....nice thought..we will bring them to fidelity for site visit...nice change..we will take them to outings....gr8..we will do an old books/clothes drive....impressive..
The thoughts reflected what we want...not what the kids want...Two of us...who have been there...done that.....including me.....felt this led to nowhere....while the others joined the bandwagon...why...while being with kids sharing the most honest moments with them....we could feel we were reaching nowhere...what we needed...wasn't only fun but some people who can make them feel like family....we were looking for elder brothers 'n' sisters....who could love them guide them...and not treat them like orphans...by doing all these things...they underlined the same.we needed volunteers so that...we could maintain a ratio of atleast 1:3 or 1:4.... so that we could give them a personal touch....we can maintain a cntinuity....who could introduce them to a new world...the good world....Leave it...i cannot change the world....but i can change myself...after all every change starts from within.....To connect better with kids...i have been reading a lot about psycology...behavioral science..observation power...and it made me yearn to apply the newly found knowledge...and then ureka!!! In a flash...I got my subjects...who are they ...I dont think i need to explain it now...I found...we all have a kid in ourselves...and despite...of our age...our responsibilities.....we tend to satisfy it....these grown up professional kids...too want all the attention...all the treats...obviously in terms of....attention from seniors...good raises....popularity...visibility...but they tend to forget.....in the process of there fad following they might do something they never thought of....or they never intended too...they might loose the real motive....the real social service...the real contribution to the society...
