Bakul…Work in Progress

I was in my final year when one of my friend was sticking poster on my college notice board for the children’s  workshop organized by bakul. I thought it was like any other poster and didn’t pay any heed but one thing stayed with me i.e the line which said something ”if not us, who”(later I learnt the actual meaning in its entirety).  One week later I was walking through the lanes of satyanagar I met ‘viswajeet’(the same guy who was sticking the poster) and he introduced me to sujit mohapatra—that was it. Once you meet him, you are for sure overwhelmed by his passion for bakul and the work he does. I always had this feeling to do something, to contribute to the society in some little ways. I immediately nominated myself for the upcoming workshop for the OLS children. In the next few days or rather months I was involved with tree campaign, book distribution, awareness programs, etc. It was a great learning experience for me, meeting new people, going to places I never dreamt of like govt primary schools, OLS, etc. Till today whenever I see the trees(I hope they are still there ) planted at the nicco park-acharya vihar lane and  feel  proud. But this is just the start and the work has just began. I am really happy to be associated with the idea ‘bakul’ and I hope to contribute my bit in the near future.
