One month on Highway. Report from Mission Highway

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends ,

In just 8 days ago , I finished one month to my Mission Highway , It was mixed

experience all together sometime it was pain sometime joy but good thing was

this unaccepted people helped a lot and its gave me boost for mission , Many

time I thought lets go back , no more mission but certainly , some person come

forward and solve problem and GOD gave message , that learn through that , don't

runaway.

Till today I had 45 talks all together , 10 Dhabas , 9 College of Social Work

and , many school , college and rotaract clubs. Whenever I approached some of

school / colleges they are saying they had several talks on HIV/AIDS why they

need one more. After convincing a lot only getting permission for interaction

with students but its good that after talk they are saying that we are really

grateful to listening you and you inspired us, same time they are acknowledging

that add information rather than repetition of their knowledge. These are

motivating and inspiring me a lot .

I also met VCTCs counselors and State AIDS Control Society, officers and they

appraised my work , also I attended a District AIDS Control Society meeting in

Sangli . All college of Social Work and Clubs are willing to collaborate in

future for follow up of campaign and promote mission highway aim to every corner

of states or country. Its really great to listen from youth that they want to

work in Grass root for better cause.

Rotary – Rotaract , I met D.G Surykant Suri , on the way in Uddapi R.I Dist

3000. I completed 5 states and 7 Dist. but only 2 districts 3180 & 3000 found

very active and they were excited about mission and network with other clubs and

school /colleges with properly. Thanks to DRR Samith ( 3180 ) and DRR

Muruganandam (3000).

Rotaract Club of Manglore Centre , Mysore Belcity and Pondycherry. were some of

best and most active club in past cities and helped a lot. I want to acknowledge

that DRR Muruganandam is one of perfect DRR , among whome I met. DRR also gave

me Rs.500 for my emergencies expense which I used for visiting card as now I am

finding its very important as to approach in college /schools .

Rotary club of Cochin West was one of the best club who hosted me in Cochin and

motivated me for good work. Thanks to Rtn. Shenoy. Rtn.Shenoy and Rtn.P.V.Nair

also gave me Rs.2000 together for my expence.As you know its non funded

programme where I am trying to put all resources together its helped a lot.

There are many interesting story , On the way I met so many police and had talk

at check post , they listened me , I explained them all about mission at road ,

they treat me as VIP and without checking allow to go , Almost all state police

till here it can include Maharashtra , GOA , Karanatka , Kerala and Tamilnadu

But where they were so many good policewala Chennai police made me pay Rs. 50

without any reason , they caught me at Mount Road , from turn I just came on

main road , I stopped my bike , removed helmet and asked what is matter , they

asked me from where you are coming , I explained , ask me paper I sawed, asked

me license and after all these told me I was on wrong track I should be first

track rather than 2 track. I don't remember from where I entered on main road

there were any signboard like that , first they asked Rs.500 when I refused and

told them ok lets take to R.T.O Commissioner , they allow to go after paying

Rs.50 , I paid after getting receipt.

I also met police who sat with me discus many thing and translate my address in

Tamil from English. Explained route 7 times to make sure I will reach safe at

said place.

In the last but not least thanks to Bajaj Service Center and Reliance web World

who are giving a lot of respect and although there is big queue , I am getting

done my work first , Without any hesitation , I can say Plasur is really

ultimate man cause , I didn't faced any problem till here and perform pretty

well everywhere its hardly matter that was hill or ground . Thanks to reliance,

cause its true its joy of coverage , I am getting proper network everywhere and

its R-Word is very useful for city guide , with free SMS keeping touch with

people and a lot of saving for local and STD call, only problem is making call

at BSNL mobile is pain and you can't sent SMS also. You don't have

network in Kanykumari.

I want to give my especial thanks to Mr. Stanley (General Secretary) & YMCA

Family , Dr.Ganesh Rane (RRR Industries), Mr.Suhash Patki (Excutive Vise

President, BOBCARDS, Mr. Krishner (AASRA), Mr.Bhaskar Kumar (Secretary of

Student YMCA) Rtn. Dilip Vora (President of Bombay Hills South), Rtr. Lekha

(President of Rotaract club of Bombay Hills South) and My friends classmate Sam

Nair and in the last but not least all those people who helped me direct or

indirect for my mission.

Thanks to everyone
