Heroes I Have Met - III

It is sheer coincidence that this post appears close to the time that we are observing the world's largest democracy in action during National Elections 2014. Having gotten caught up in the whirlwind that was the last semester of college, recording the precious stories from the trip around India was relegated to the To-Do list for the summer. Continuing this from Part II.

I hope, along with a new Prime Minister, these stories bring hope! 

Heroes I Have Met - I

The most essential part of the Jagriti Yatra was meeting rising social entrepreneurs in India. Social enterprise does not imply charity with marginal profit. It implies profit coupled with social good. The good news is this - the trend is catching on. I want to document the achievements of some charismatic entrepreneurs I met on Jagriti Yatra 2014. Somewhere, in the nooks and corners of this country, change is happening. This is pretty much a factual read. But you will be inspired. 

Be a proud Indian, this Republic Day!

I Got Away

If someone told me, when I was 12, that 10 years later I would voluntarily spend 15 days living on an Indian train, travelling across the length and breadth of the country, I would tell them to go sleep off their inebriation. Its funny how times change though. I have just returned from an amazing Jagriti Yatra around India travelling over 11000 kilometres covering 12 destinations, a part of a group of 450 people from around the world. 

The stories are endless, the hangover seemingly eternal. The least I could do is write about it. This is the first of a couple of posts about Jagriti Yatra 2013.
