Staring a non profit org called 4 Lotus for school kids.Developing creative solutions through kids for the future challenges.We can do a collobration with your ID org .I feel it has the potential to give a shpe to the 4 Lotus project through training.

@Shraddha, Dr. Roshan: Thanks for reading and commenting. 🙂

@Rajiv: Whoa, you read my inner-view? 😛 Read the first one, that’s more personal?

@Radha: Sure, Radha, will love to. Thank you, girl, for being there. 🙂

@Gauri: I sometimes giggle like a teenager at your praise. I am glad to have known you. Thanks for being there, unconditional support. I should soon have sometime on my hands, will bother you ‘bountiful’ again. 😛

@Rakesh: Yeah, Vee’s best jokes come from (on) his friends. (And mine too) Agree when you say it makes huge difference to that life. Thank you for kind words.

@Imp’s Mom: Thank for your vote of confidence in my abilities. It counts.

@Smita: Guess, like my sister, you didn’t like it? Hope you are not as extreme as my sister to call it worst move experience of her lifetime. I was TeachIndia volunteer from last year. I now volunteer as teacher for this NGO: http://www.greatfoundation.org/home

@Anu: Another vote of confidence. Thank you. It counts. 🙂 Good to know a fellow girl who enjoyed DevD and could connect to Alchemist.

See my answer to Smita above for Teach India. Know several NGOs from Delhi where you can sponser a child’s education. It is not very expensive either. We easily spend that amount on our clothes.

This year I am having a hard time with paucity of time and huge participation (which is good.) It is no longer one-person-job. Something needs to be thought on how to handle this next time.

@Vishesh: Thank you, Vishesh for the compliment. Wish each of us keep at what we believe in at our level. It is hard considering alone we don’t seem to make any impact. But some changes are bound to happen together.

@Praneshachar: Thank you, Praneshachar. Good to see your comments here. It is Blogadda that needs to be thanked for their selection of questions. Thanks for your best wishes, mean a lot. Amen!

Nice interview 😀

Even though you weren’t very successful with the weekend classes you started for those kids, you took an initiative at least. That itself says a lot about you!! 🙂 Most wouldn’t even think of something like that. You could join the Teach India initiative like Smita has suggested. And organisations like “Help a Child” help you sponsor a child!

You have done an awesome job with organising the Avant Garde Bloggie Awards- last year and this year too!

Hats off to you! 😉

Great Interview! 🙂

Loved the interview!! Have you ever thought of joining the Teach India initiative??

Thanks for the mention 🙂

great interview… awesome read.
