The most important thing of this yatra is not learning but the looking at different perceptions of our existence. The same 23yrs of life I lead is not the same as that of any other ones on board. Each are unique in their own way and this makes knowing about them so interesting. All of us here have a story to share, story to inspire others and push them to move forward. This yatra is a perfect platform to share our thoughts on common grounds to make this nation stand tall in global scenario. There is lot of opportunity here to experiment and when we start doing the stuff on the ground level, things start to take shape and that defines the purpose of this journey. One good part of this mission is everyone on board are aware of this problems and pondering over the solutions to join the dots. The movement we unplug ourselves and take that blue pill like Neo did, transformation is within reach !
We are from different corners of the country, but that didn’t stop us from uniting in probing into the solutions in the long term. The answers may not be convincing to hear, but we promise the real India the future we envision in our drawing charts. Met few unsung heroes who have done remarkable works, some into politics(Nuaman), others into agri-business(Yitesh, Jitendra), some excelled in Architecture(Vidyun), one teaching kids in slums of Mumbai(Pranav), working for a NGO (Ashrita,Bhargavi),some into poetry (Rekha), captured by ULFA(Manjith), one into photography(Prathamesh), one cynical about NGO(Ankita) and many others who have an inspiring story to be told.. Our timeline session we had this afternoon was an eye opener for me in measuring the potential of the inner capacity in managing things in the way they should be. All below 25yrs old and contributing in some way in our near neighborhood and sending the message of social entrepreneurship across the youth. Personally I was inspired at the spirit and passion they hold things to satiate their thoughts. This journey has been just 2 days, I met almost 60-70 yatris and exploring ways in building mera Vision 2020 with their inputs. I should say the food served are in par with that of TAJ Coramandel cuisines , perfectly blended in taste to suit the journey. 4 Meal a day served by the such excellent staff on board was awesome!
What I noticed is many are into Agriculture Development, where the gist of the progress lies in near future. So all our discussions revolved around this topic for most of the day. And at the end of the day, had a good discussion with Vikram, Pankaj, and Ritish on how we can bring that change by eliminating the middle-person concept for benefit of the farmer. It’s just the tip of the iceberg, and lot more to explore in servicing this sector if we can gather our resources and focus at the right target market. At midnight held in discussions with Pranav, Karan aur Rakesh future plans ..I call this the jagriti flow of thoughts which really is inherent to this yatra and I still have almost 360 others like me on board thinking the way I do. I m sure the coming days will be interesting and I bet it would be!
