The Sunshine Project

The Sunshine Project

Its been more than a month that this lockdown started. It has taught us much and made us feel even more. It has made us re-prioritize our life and live in simpler ways. Overall, it seems, we all needed this wake-up call. Nahi?

We started ‘The Sunshine Project’ ( www.TheSunshineProject.Online , at the start of this lockdown to help friends and keep ourselves at Word of Mouth media , creatively busy. The journey in the last few weeks, has however been humbling and uplifting at the same time.

The initial fear of the unknown has not completely gone away, but has reduced and become part of day to day life. The new experiments with ‘working from home’ have not all succeeded, but have taught us vital lessons and shown new possibilities.

The lockdown tested our team ,our values, our structure and cash flows, and reminded us to be Wafadaar, Bahadur, Vinamr , and keep our Seva-Bhav and Raftaar that nothing is above the 'wolf-pack'.

The last few weeks also pushed me to do what I have been procrastinating about, and told me much more is possible when one considers how little time one has (agar main mar gaya toh?...hahaha).

Thank you for the love and warmth we have received through the Sunshine Project. It is a lesson that will stay with us forever.

Plus, a nazm that I wrote in jest for Modi Saab, which went viral (seems this country will never be one of teetotalers …hahaha). Mota-mota, I have enjoyed this lockdown, in spite of my usual anxiety, more than any one month in my life.

Lesson learnt in ‘Ambar’ Saab’s words:

Jahan Mein Har Bashar Majboor Ho, Aisa Nahi Hota

Har-Ik Raahi Se Manzil Door Ho, Aisa Nahi Hota

(Aur)

Gawaahon Ko Toh Bik Jaane Ki , Majboori Rahi Hogi

Hamen Bhi Faisala Manzoor Ho? Aisa Nahi Hota!

Have a great Sunday, Dosto.

I’m taking a break today and sleeping the entire day. 😊

Much Sunshine and Laughter to you!
