The Computer Centre

Last year when we met in the first workshop for the volunteers Tabrez Bhai had mentioned that we should go for a Centre of NCPUL (National Council for the Promotion of Urdu Language) at Patiyali as it would not only help the promotion of Urdu language but also bring Computer education to this area. Some of us at the end of the workshop were wondering as to what is the 'Take Home' from the workshop? This Republic Day when the Centre opened at Patiyali, there were smiles all around. In fact it was euphoria.

Crossing all hurdles we were able to get the Centre inaugurated on 26th January by Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore. The credit for the entire show goes to Tabrez Bhai, Mohit Gupta & Malik M. Sajid. Timelines were difficult, there were too many loose ends and yet we did it. And we did it in a manner that every body was thrilled. Rajyavardhan got a very warm welcome and he was dignity and grace personified. Thanx Rajyavardhan for the pains you took to travel that far and being a part of the proceedings. Do forgive us if there were any slip ups.

Thanx Tabrez Bhai for every thing you did to make the event happen. Thanx Mohit for having been the anchor of the show in more ways than one. Thanks Sachin for providing the car. Thanx Anuj Saxena for organising the Centre. Thanx Rajeev Rai for being there and making the speech you made. Thanks Alok, Arun, Kamal, Arif for being there. Thanks Dharmendra, Sudhir, Yogendra & Amarjeet.

Thanks Shahid for the flight you took from Hyderabad to conduct the programme. Thanks Neena, you came and gave that much needed company to Kiran Yadav. Prabhat Bhai your presence and enthusiasm lifted us. Thanx a lot. Thanks Gyanendra for contributing despite being unable to attend.

What do we say to Sajid. Words fail and Thanx is too small a word to convey what you have been like. Thanx Sanjay & Manish Bhai. Thanks Babloo, Bhaskar, Poornesh, Dhananjay, Rakesh Bhai, Saajan for joining.

There was a lot of tension, freighed nerves, but everything fell in place. The synchronization was perfect and finish was elegant. Thank you one and all. Let us hope we better this soon.
