me and navnee were as usual late for da event...da moment we went inside we were a bit puzzled....didn't know how to interact with those kids...this ws the first time we got a chance to be with the blind ... bt after a while it became quite easy nd fun too..... i talked to a kid named ANUJ SHARMA... he ws good to talk to.. a huge fan of SACHIN TENDULKAR he even knew hw much did he score in the last one day...this guy from himachal pradesh was full of spirit...the best part was that the kids out there were independent enough... they did their stuff on their own without anybody's help... but unfortunately i missed the CRICKET MATCH... i really wanted to b a part of it... neways.. it was a nice and an innovative idea 2 hangout with the BLIND...for me it was a new n intresting experience....waiting for more such events to come..!!!

Rakhi celebrations with our LITTLE ANGELS

by Ravneet





I arise in d morning torn between a desire to improve the world, and a desire to enjoy the world, well this makes it hard to plan aday....lolzzrakhi isnt just all about tying a thread and getting the money!surelymore than that.!but this was not the perception that these kids had........ Ask themabout the day, the answer starts from tying the thread to having rupees 20/- or more..A thought then came, to why not celebrate rakhi with these kids..


On monday, 27th of august, we went to pustak.. a small school in sec 25 opened by an NGO.. The event started off with a little story kinda intro about the whole affair of rakhi.. We saw many enlightened faces.. :-)


As far as the competetions we had 2.. Card making and rakhi making..Well looking at the prizes kids were oh so motivated..!! A lot of zealcould be seen surely through the consequences..!Prizes made all happy in the end followed by a little treat....A happy rakhi we had....!! :-) :-) :-)To waken interest and kindle enhusiasm is a sure way to teach easilyand successfully...!! :-) :-)

“Rakhi Celebrations”

YUVA PARLIAMENT 2nd Session-The Youth wants to BAN TOBACCO

Hey guys ,after a successful first session , we had an awesome 2nd session of “YUVA PARLIAMENT" on 28july, 2007. Majority of people were from the age group of 18 to 25. There was a discussion on cause and effect of Tobacco.This time , YP was supported by BURNING BRAIN SOCIETY and CHANDIGARH ADMINISTRATION.The session stated with a movie clippings on the use of tobacco in the films and media. The actors in the movies deliberately flash the cartons and cigarette cases to display the brand logos and names. Surprisingly, most of them claim to be “Socially Responsible Citizens”. This was followed by presentations, discussions and debates on various issues relating to tobacco abuse, facts and misconceptions.A lot of prominent personalities of the likes of Toursium director Vivek attray, who was a guest of honour , G.S Channi a theatre personality and V.N singh ,director of museum, also participated in session
It was a planned and organized parliament which knew everything ie we started the interaction with discussion then cause and effect, and with solution(action plan on the issue).Sushma and Rekha, two school girls from Morni – a village in Haryana about 35 km from our Chandigarh, attended the session to give a rural perspective over the issue. We all got to know that the awareness about the danger and lethal consequences of tobacco was growing in urban areas; people in rural areas remain ignorant of the possible outcome.Youngsters also discussed why tobacco should remain a legal product for consumption.SOME SHOCKING FACTS, WHICH THE YOUTH PARLIAMENT GOT TO KNOW:Indian govt indirectly gives subsidy to biddi,( yes , biddi …which is mainly sold in the villages and also by lower income group in cities)The total revenue generated (only revenue ,not net profit of companies ) is 5000 crore but the health infrastructure and spending to combat the diseases from the tobacco ,costs the Indian government more than 5000 croreThere was also debate that when net loss occurred from tobacco industry goes into govt revenue/ expenditure account, then why for just a handful of people as compared to the masses, the governments keeps this item as a legal product.Do they know that every year 10 lakh people die due to the harmful effects of taking tobacco?

YP concluded with creative action plans, where all groups decided to take initiatives with their skills to make people aware about detrimental effect of tobacco.The initiative of action plan taken by groups shall be made public during the next session of youth parliament in September.
