आदत अपनी लगा भी देते है.

चिढ़ा चिढ़ा कर सुइयां चुभा सी देते है!

फिर पास आके,

आँखों से गुदगुदाके,

हँसा भी देते है.

उनका गुस्सा इतना है कि,

मेरा सहम गया.

बेहिचक बेहिसाब,

जिंदादिल देख उनका,

मेरा रूखा-सूखा, मेरा रूठा-ऐंठा

अहम् गया.

सिखाने से सीखने वाला

बना ही देते है.

दिल का आइना, थूक से

चमका ही देते है.

फिर पास आके,

बातों में उलझाके,

आदत अपनी लगा भी देते है.

यह बच्चे नहीं,

ज़लज़ले है.

थमने को नहीं,

थामने को चले है.

ज़ोर इतना, कि सब्र,

कम कि बोल पाता है .

गरम है चाय इतनी,

कि शक्कर का कभी कभी

स्वाद ही नहीं आता है.

फीकी हो या मीठी,

गज़ब की ताजगी से हिला ही देते है.

गिराते है और फिर चुपके से

सर पे चढ़ा भी देते है.

फिर पास आके,

कानों में फुसफुसाके,

दिल को अपना बना ही देते है.

AhRam)Campaign Promotion in Festivals

Nexus 2011 & NSS Festival with Dil Se Campaign

From 3^rd to 5^th there had been Nexus 2011 going on in Sri Venkateswara College and the dil se campaign was invited to place in social service stole for promotion.  Like we informed in advance, dil se team went for meeting college students and talking about the campaign and children’s stories.



Social Service Sector among stoles



Even though we were placed among attracting stoles like accessory shops and food shops, we could meet many passionate students who are interested in helping children. Many of them actually complete the volunteering forms and many people also left their names and contact numbers for further information.

They are our neighbors in social service sector, Blood Donation Team and Epiphany(a student group that made interesting exhibition of recycling products).

 And the first offline promotion team of the dil se campaign!!! :)

Soon after the Nexus, with the invitation of nikhil sehra, one of our volunteers Dil Se campaign participated in UTSAV in Hansraj College - an annual festival of NSS(National Service Scheme) we also had a chance to step closer to young college students who might be our children’s friends and families.  It was on 7th March in North campus of Delhi Universities.

Of course, it was wonderful to meet new family from Hansraj college and other young passionate students who wanted to know more dil se campaign and children.

 The students of Hansraj NSS group have been teaching children from nearby communities every day after they finish their classes. They mainly teach school subjects so that the children could follow up their school education. On the day, children had drawing competition and freely danced with the students and experienced kite flying. It was so good to see that young people are involving in those activities trying to contribute to their own neighborhood children and societies.   

Someone told me that students are supposed to have fun in their college years. I agree with it unless they enjoy the fun in sound ways. The students I met in the NSS festival were enjoying their college lives creating beautiful harmonies and contagious fun to others. That was great fun for me as well. :)

By the way! Don’t forget to contact us (Anubhav, volunteer coordinator) if you are interested in offline and online campaign promotion of the dilse campaign. :)

Anika)The first Beautiful Day of Kilkari

The First ‘Beautiful Day’ when the volunteers and children are cleaning the home together was begun by our passionate volunteers. The discussion of having a cleaning day with the kids started from the day of Monthly Kilkari meeting. Unfortunately and fortunately there was a problem with water pipes so that Kilkari was not clean on the day and that’s how some of our volunteers considered initiating a cleaning day teaching children the importance of clean surroundings and providing them more comfortable and cozy place.

This happened so quickly so there were many people who couldn’t change their schedule to make it but I hope there would be more volunteers on the next ‘Beautiful Day’ including me ;)
This time, Anika Kakkar,Naval Gupta,Shikha Aggarwal, and Anshuman Kshetrapal participated in cleanliness drive.

Have a look what happened below!

What a beautiful day at kilkari...
Meeting these kids at first has given a truly beautiful and meaningful existence to my life. I am not sure if by visiting them I can really change their life but they will surely teach me and change my life. On 10th march we had taken a cleaning initiative for the home and we call it a "wonderfull day" as this experience of brooming, dusting, and cleaning with the kids was actually very wonderful. As I call these kids my "little angels" which they truly are, helped us to an extent of actually snatching the brooms from us and cleaning. It was such a pleasure to see their enthusiasm for cleaning and helping us make their home a better place to live. I think till the time we dont demonstrate our self the change we want to see in them they wont be motivated to do the same. So through this we have really convinced them to keep their sarroundings clean and tidy so the purpose of a "wonderfulll day" is solved.
