When I was given the charge of the health project,
I was too excited.
I identified about 10 basic health tips that I knew.
And I applied for myself.
Like
How do I have a glowing skin??
Oh, I massage my body with coconut oil before bath.
For that matter,
I also used mustard oil, or sesame oil,
Or even the fancy hair oil at times.
How do I keep healthy through thick and thin?
I used to travel too much..
Daily 180 kilometers…
Waking up at 5 am and coming back home at 9 PM.
A schedule of 16 hours a day..
I eat simple food and lots of seasonal vegetables
And I used Sanitary napkins
During menstruation.
Used Neam leaves, Dettol at times
Lot of Turmeric
Shampoo my hair with methi..
Washed vegetables before cutting
Lots of green leaves
My food used to be multicoloured..
Soooooooooo
What was the excitement for?
Actually, it had nothing to do with what I knew.
It was the opportunity ..
To work with women
Who were in a village level cooperative.
Imagine!
About 60 ladies at one place, at the least, at every village.
And after 6 months I could
🎐Get rid of the continuous cycle of malaria-chicken pox by introducing mushroom to their daily diet
🎐Have every cooperative save minimum Rs.40,000/- a year
🎐Give 10 basic health tips, ensured the breakfast to be regular and in time during 8am – 10 am
🎐Have the backyard leafy vegetables in abundant..
and
🎐Have the girls go to school, and to college and to attend some vocational training like tailoring and computer learning…
When I was writing these as part of the annual reports, one of my junior team member created a DISPUTE.
A Friction!!
The Caste problem was yet to be resolved..
The so called low caste ladies still had their meetings separately..
And..
That I somehow avoided the conflict by holding meetings in the OPEN..
Not in anybody’s premise..
Was a STRATEGY.
Let progress happen as much as possible.
Let people overcome their LIMITATIONS as far as possible.
Of course, DIGNITY matters
Ahead of any knowledge.
But how will it be achieved WITHOUT any knowledge??
Let progress find itself behind a closed door
Because
The Mind REFUSES to Acknowledge
A HUMAN BEING AS ONE!!!
Till that time, we need to persevere.
It was not only at that place
90 Kms away from my place..
It is everywhere..
But you know what..
The enthusiasm was gone.
The grass was no more greener.
And I thought my job was done..
It would need another TIME
To take to another MILESTONE.
So I was gone from the scene.
Tell me, who took it to the next phase?
The ones who saw my vision then..
Let me talk about my Secret #2..
🧨The Internal struggle that needs to withdraw and invest in another..
By the way what purpose do I have?
Why was I slogging for it?
It is a ‘Purpose’ that I have.
That is how we evaluate whether we do something or not do.
We shall be there or we exit?
And how do I decide what my purpose is?
It is defined by the HURT and CELEBRATIONS of my life.
It is because we want to be known for what we have been good at
SO FAR.
Or
ONCE UPON A TIME.
And right now, we have to tell ourselves that
We are doing something is with a DIFFERENCE.
That is my Secret #1.
There are two other important SECRETs as well.
Eye openers.
With 20 Milestones that you may want to have for yourself..
