LITTLE SMILES AWAIT YOU, SO WHY DELAY...


THE WORLD IS SO BIG, STILL MANY PEOPLE CRY FOR SHELTER

BUT THEY CANT SHOUT, ONLY MURMER AND UTTER.

DO THEY GET A MEAL IN A DAY, WE ARE UNKNOWN

THEY HAVE TO WELCOME A FRUSTRATED LIFE WHEN THE DAY DAWN

TEARS DROPPING FROM THEIR EYES, SMILE IN THEIR DREAMS, IN FRONT THE FOGGY FUTURE LIES,

DROWNING IN SORROW, TO CROSS THE OCEAN OF LIFE, FOR A HELPING HAND THE HEART CRIES.

WE ALL, CHILDREN OF THE MOTHER EARTH, STILL SO MUCH DISCRIMINATION

OUR LIFE WRAPPED WITH GOLDEN SHEET, WITH THEM NO INTERACTION.

COME OUT OF THE DARK, LIGHT UP YOUR LIFE, DONT LET IT DRIFT AWAY,

THERE IS MUCH THAT MUST BE DONE EACH MINUTE OF EACH DAY.

WHY HAVE EYES THAT DO NOT SEE, EARS THAT DO NOT HEAR,

A HAND THAT CAN NOT HELP OR A HEART THAT CAN NOT CHEER?

ALL THEY NEED YOU, YOUR LOVING HEART THAT CAN INTENSELY FEEL,

THERE IS NOTHING SO TERRIBLE ON THIS EARTH THAT LOVE CAN NOT HEAL.

LIFE IS A GIFT, IT HAS SO MUCH TO OFFER

SEE, WHAT YOU HAVE GOT, A FULL SPAN YET JUST HALF A COFFER!

BUT HAPPINESS SHARED WILL SEE OURS TO THE BRINK,

THE MORE WE GIVE, THE LESS IT WILL SHRINK.

AS CLOUD SAIL THROUGH THE BREATH TAKING SKIES;

WE REALISE NOT, BUT TIME REALLY FLIES.

FOR BEFORE REALISATION DAWNS, IT WILL BE TIME TO GO

AND WHEN THIS BODY IS GONE, WHAT WILL BE THERE TO SHOW!

NOT WEALTH, POSITION, NAME OR FAME, BUT ONLY

GOOD DEEDS OF OURS TO LIVE IN THE HEARTS OF MANY...

" THIS LIFE IS SHORT, THE VANITIES OF THE WORLD ARE TRANSIENT, BUT THEY ALONE LIVE WHO LIVE FOR OTHERS, THE REST ARE MORE DEAD THAN ALIVE."

Prabartika Sahoo,

B.tech. (1st Year)

Jagda: Of Little Hearts and Mighty Dreams

Image
A Family, Together Forever As cliched as it sounds, I am still honestly relieved that we are done with 2020 now. Yes, I know it’s just a change in a single digit, and globally the situation remains roughly the same but still. It’s only two months into 2021, and India, especially, seems to be in a much better place in terms of the pandemic. AASRA isn’t to be left behind then. We have had the integration of new inductees and foundation day celebration to begin the year with. Hopefully, we will have much more to come. All optimism around the new year aside, 2020 was definitely a hard year for us. For a club that works locally, this situation presented unprecedented challenges. But it’s not in AASRA’s culture to give up and we continued offering our services wherever possible. One of the workplaces where the teaching-learning process continued throughout the year is Jagda.  We began teaching online in July and thanks to the dedicated efforts of the members, we are still going strong.

Lighting Lives, Making a Difference: Diya Project 2k17

Image
New clothes, sweets, crackers. Diwali is a time of joy and celebration. But there are many who aren't fortunate enough. For the poor, buying things during festivals can be nothing but a far fetched dream. We at AASRA believe that there's no greater joy than the joy of serving the poor and the less fortunate ones. Each year, we create employment opportunities for dozens of poor women during Diwali, so that they have enough money to celebrate the festival of lights with their families. DIYA PROJECT is our greatest and most awaited project every year, for which every volunteer of AASRA puts in a lot of effort (and love). We buy diyas from a wholesale seller, and buy decorative items such as glitter powder, paints etc. We go to three workplaces and ask the women there to decorate these Diyas for us. Our volunteers roam around the campus of NITR, visiting faculty and students and taking orders for diyas from them. These decorated diyas are sold for a profit, and the profits are g
