The visit of Aditi College students to Patiyali was finally scheduled for 10th January 2012. The winter chill was scary and the political scene hotting up in UP was making things difficult. An all girls delegation in UP always generates tension in the minds of organisers and the hosts. Shahid and Sajid wanted dates revisited.But postponement didnt seem to be any solution so we decided to go ahead.
When the students left in the bus at 9 AM we all hoped they would reach Sidhpura by 5 PM. At 3 PM they had just left Bulandshahar. Well, they were going to have one long journey.Shahid left around 10AM and reached Sidhpura at 430 PM. The tone of his voice at around 6 suggested that all was not well so far as the arrangements were concerned. He alongwith Sajid and others sorted out issues of concern before the Aditi team reached there at 845 PM.
As soon as they landed at Brij Guest House in Sidhpura where the stay arrangements were made, complaints were lodged with the police that a contingent of 40 girls had come to campaign for Shyam Sundar Gupta who owns the guest house and is incidently a candidate for the assembly elections. Dr. Neena Pandey spoke to the SP and explained the purpose of the visit and then the things settled.
Kalani, Ganeshpaur and Gajaura villages were visited by the students. They interacted with the community and did exceptionally good work. Anubhuti did try to see that their stay was comfortable but then there might have been some slips here and there. Return journey was long and tiring as the bus went out of order near Mathura. The group could reach Delhi around 2 AM. All is well that ends well.
Thanks are due to the entire team of Aditi College for having reposed faith in Anubhuti and having taken the pains to come to Patiyali. Thanx Shyam bhai for helping us host the event. Thanx Dr. Shahid, Sajid, Babloo, Shahid, Amjad, Manish and Sanjay Bhai and all Anubhuti members for being there through thick and thin. Thanx Dharmendra and Sarikaji for reaching on the final day. Thanx Gyanendra for having travelled from Aligarh to Patiyali and be a part of the proceedings. Thanx Shailendra for hosting the group at Agra.
If we have missed any we will make up in March when we get together for a brainstorming.
Team Anubhuti.
