As they say, problems are often blessings in disguise, (might be an optimistic view of looking at things), loosing Jharkhand project and what all followed aftermath started a new chapter. Somnath Sir (VP of the organization i m working with & next one in the list of Architect's of my life) gave a free hand to evolve the development projects which i intend to do, and so the journey has begun again!!.
Most probably immediate step would be to devise some support program in Vidharbha. I was reading through the reports of farmers suicide and factors leading to it, got reminded of the "Narayanpur Express" simulation game during IRMA induction. That simulation game had touched me from within, when as a farmer with 2 acres of land and one buffalo with 4 members to feed under the vagaries of pest attack, uncertain rain and variable subsidy policy of the government, with my partner in the game Samantha we had to sell more than half of the land at the end of imaginary 3 years of the game. I felt very miserable selling the land which was the only asset in the game for me as a farmer but then that's what farmers face in reality which was just a 4-5 hour game for us. While reading through the suicide cases of Vidharbha, misery and vulnerability of their life appeared vividly, but as promised to Somnath sir, this time tears are withheld within the heart to ignite the cause v are striving for.
Future is yet to unfold
