school chale hum

June july begins with schools, new text books, notebooks, pens, pencil boxes, uniforms, raincoats... Everything thats related to school. Fun isnt it, goin to school with all your friends wearing new uniforms and carrying new school bags, specially with kids... Kids who are just starting up with their KG classes. For them school is a new world, a world which they have dreamt of...wanting to go to school.wanting to begin a new chapter, the best chapter. But hold on, what about those kids who are not lucky to get admission? Specially if they dont have any references or contacts and not even the capacity to grease the palms of some corrupt politicians and get through with the admissions. Yes, there are people, who have to struggle very hard so they can see their little wonder entering the school of his/her dreams. And here im not talking about any modern school admission. Im talkin about admission in a regular school. I came across such a situation when I saw a friend of mine struggling to help someone get admission for their kid. Now my friend, she isnt any journalist or social worker or any influential person. She is a student of TYBMM. And she was all running for the last two months just to make sure her neighbours kid gets admission in a decent school. The same kid whom she offers tutions free of cost. Yes free of cost without any conditions apply tag, just because his parents cant afford. I proudly congratulate my friend Preeti for having successfully helped the little kid getting in his dream school. Yes I am feeling very proud today when I see her successfull with the admission part. Preeti had to undergo a lot of ups and downs in this entire process. It was the same school she had passed out from and she thought maybe it wont be much of a problem. But it was not an easy affair... The grind had begun. They refused admission for whatever reasons... The running around had started. She tried if thru friends including me, if there were any contacts through where she could get the admission. But all in vain. I didnt have much political or any influential contacts which I could go through, I really felt helpless since there was nothing I could do other than moral support. I saw a girl running around, helping someone to make their child's future... And i was helpless... But preeti was not amongst someone who could give in so easlily. She struggled her way through all these days and finally got a source through another good friend of her who could get the admission done...that friend through his collegue got them through with the admission process. The best part is he didnt charge money or donation...he asked them to get a Life insurance policy to be taken for the kid, which in would be beneficial for the kid. Preeti's efforts helped the kid get admission in one of the decent reputed school. Kudos to preeti! I Congratulate her once again. Babes you have made all of us proud and taught us to be selfless and do our little bit for the needy. Once again... Three Cheers to Preeti! May you always be successfull in all walks of life.
