Anna’s Aandhi Catches Fire!!!

Hi,

I was actually trying to focus on my work which was getting neglected due to my over involvement in various social activities. When I picked up the phone after giving it a chance to see if gets silenced after few rings, but as determined as the cause, that call was equally determined and reached me. I was at the society gate talking to the Chairman of a society called Accolade that very moment.... The call came from Our Chairman Mr. Deo Kumar :)

“We as a co-operative society have done it twice, but what’s the overcome? In the second drive we were almost half, in comparison to our first initiative, I don’t think people will gather again” that was my first reaction, when he asked me to join this cause. But as I believe, if you have a wish, you have a fish…

We called people of our Society for the third time to give their support to Anna Hazare’s Anti Corruption Drive, but as expected only 20-25 came up at the assembly point the next day, in a society where there are around 700 Apartments and more than two thousand residents. We drove inside the society premises twice, shouting slogans and asking people to come out from their houses and support the cause. People came out but were restricted to their balconies and that too just to see what’s happening. Never Mind! We thought…and proceed to the main assembly point decided a day before where all the other Society members would join us. And as one saying or a sher goes “Main akela hi chala tha janib e manzil ko magar - log sath aate gaye karwan banta gaya …” and you won’t believe this actually happened, people started gathering and we successfully accomplished our peaceful march to extend our support for the Anti Corruption Drive.

Have a look at the Images and Videos to witness this successful and a peaceful procession:
