    I wish to help people like me to stand up and face the world

    Dear Aamir, First of all thanks a lot for taking up various issues shunned by people and discussing it openly. I must say that this has given us a feeling that we are not alone and that there are people like us and we need not feel ridiculed or odd. Now for the programme on domestic violence and torture. I have suffered the same way as the first lady in the programme.Though my husband did not beat me as often as her husband did but the mental agony, the fright the fights the rejection and humiliation the beating took away a lot from my happy-go-lucky nature. Slowly the atmosphere at home was so tense that even a small scrapping noise would disturb me.My daughter too started feeling the heat as he would hit her, and belittle her to get at me and my family members...I am sorry to say that i kept quiet and dint give it back...the situation was unbearable ....and during my daughters 10th exams when he behaved weirdly something snapped inside me and after a massive fight and a big drama and scene created by him i called it quits.....fortunately my office transferred me that year and i and my daughter came away ...even then he made a big drama....by saying that i was stealing things from home when i was sending my luggage to the place transfer by truck....My daughter too was down in dumps ...i had a tough time getting her out of that rut....I AM ETERANALLY SORRY FOR PUTTING HER THROUGH BAD TIME BY BEING SUBMISSIVE. 2-3 years were bad as i had to not only cleanse her mind of all hate and fear but also to put faith, sense, and confidence in her..... It was her resolve not to talk to her father at all...that gave me confidence and to do the best for her. I still do not understand his nature and his thinking.... MY FAMILY AND MY ORGANIZATION HAV BEEN A SOUND SUPPORT FOR ME> MY BOSSES AND MY COLLEGUES TO WHOM I HAVE TOLD MY STORY HAVE STOOD BY ME.others though curious and gossiping ...have never had the guts to question me.But they have accepted me too in their own way. My daughter is a confident personality...having quality of compassion love understanding and sense of humor. I want to say that...YES I WAS WRONG IN TAKING THINGS METED OUT TO ME.ITS NOT JUST ME BUT I WS SPOILING MY CHILDS LIVE TOO> I WISH TO HELP PEOPLE LIKE ME TO STAND UP AND FACE THE WORLD>IF U CAN GUIDE ME I WILL DO IT> Pleased talk to me if possible. I wish to meet u too...

    I initiated a mission for adding value to the otherwise meaningless education at the municipal schools

    Each episode of Satyamev Jayate was highly inspiring as well as reassuring to me, being somewhere on the same journey, a journey less travelled. I initiated a mission for adding value to the otherwise meaningless education at the municipal schools. Through samvedana 10 years back. Samvedana which i call a need based initiative which sparked as a proactive thought of how i can do my bit. started all by myself and 30 children at a small rented place in a slum of vadaj, ahmedabad, today through samvedana's different initiatives, we are reaching out to 4000 children in the city of ahmedabad, gujarat with a focus on education and nutrition. Today's episode was the best. I salute your efforts. It would be a great milestone at samvedana, to have you as our guest of honour for our big event to celebrate our 10 years with compassion at samvedana. How can i properly get in touch with you to send across the invite? This would mean a LOT not to me or to thousands associated with Samvedana but also would be inspiring to many such small social enterprnuers of our nation! Thank you, much regards, Janki vasant. janki@samvedana.org.in www.samvedana.org.in

    We need to work on something which can stop all corrupt people from top to bottom authorities

    Aamir, I think we Indian should really think on the root cause of problem. And I realize that we are still not able to grow because of the biggest problem which is called corruption. Like in school there is corruption in mid-day meal, teachers don’t go to schools to teach, teacher recruited even though they are not capable of teaching. And to get rid of it, we need to work on something which can stop all corrupt people from top to bottom authorities otherwise it’s not easy to do because if we stop higher authorities somehow then lower authorities might be keep it running and start offering again to higher authorities to get protection. So what I would suggest in my point of view that we should start working on some kind of law which can restrict them but it’s hard to get it done but NOT IMPOSSIBLE because our law-makers are also part of corruption. And we should start urging to the Indian that they stop accepting or offering the bribe to anybody for anything to get their work done. I have a suggestion that we should constitute a team of people like Bollywood STARS (they have big fans like you did SMJ), politician, bureaucrats and others like this. And they should run a program like our freedom fighters did to get rid of this biggest problem and root of most problems. AND NOW I AM SUGGESTING A PLAN – Can we run a TV program which will be a showing the real stories on what happen because of accepting or offering the bribe and other who couldn’t do that suffered? For an example - we lost something because Dr. / teacher / engineer ignored something for the interest of bribe. SO THAT CORRUPT PEOPLE SHOULD THINK THAT WHAT THEY ARE DOING. There are pros and cons but SMJ initiative made everybody to think at least once so don’t let it go waste. Thanks Aamir from my bottom of heart for your valuable effort for our society and nation. - SMJ
