Thanks Sandesh , Vijay and Brahm Ji for apprecaition but mere words cannot bring anything.
Thanks Mukesh for the much necessary criticism of the way we wish to implement out the things. As one of my great buddies Sumit Dalal says it : Its his critics who will take him to a higher and better self.
Ofcourse i understand the finer details of such things generally dying out in some time and regarding doing things on my own , well i already do it , so thats not an alternative to me.
Now coming to Brahm's comment , well offcourse , u caught it by neck. There are alrady a few things that are in my mind.
Well let me churn out the details and the intricacies involved ( only for the few that are interested enough ).
================================
It is not beyond us to form meaningful groups and choose some funtional areas to focus on. Everybody here is intelelctual enough to formulate work plans and action paths. We are all IT experts , and we have plenty of time on our hands. Time being one of the greatest resource should eventually solve all matters. Although we can hear many saying they are so busy in their lives but i truly and firmly believe that we do have time , the bottom line is that are we motivated enough for some social/cultural causes or not ?
And it is( will be ) never that we have to spend a great deal of time actually working on it.
I think it is more to do with the planning and we can always find workplaces close to where we live ( And so there are variety and plenty of things to work on ). And offcourse it is always not necessary to work on the ground level as well.
Well actual implementation detals can be finalised at a later stage in time.
But the motivation should be something like this:
( And this should answer the questions that why do i want the moderators and community leaders to be involved )!
1. We are a "lot" of members ( I am not sure of the exact regular members , but there seems to be no dearth of people .
2. Most of the regular members ( at least which i know personally ) are pretty interested in such activities. :
Let e try and enumerate a few ( And i apologise for not including and including as well , some one's name , just my personal views here )
Myself ,
Vijay ,
Brahm ,
Sandesh ,
Vikas Chaudhary ,
Sumit Sherawat ,
Sanjeet
And i am pretty sure , once we kick off , many more will join in because not all are initiative takers.
Besides we already a functional group of Navin Gulia ( Sunita Hooda and co ) and an upcoming group of Myself ( Meenakshi , Sumit Dalal and co -- in all like 10 people ).
Even if i assume a 50 % retention rate from these guys , we have abig bunch of people for a start.
3. The most important advantage is of sharing a common platform and having a common set of background values ( just need to dilute our personal egos ) ! I dont see people just vanishing ( at least not many , because they might be busy for moments but do come back to share their lives here ).
4. funding will not be an big issue as all of us are pretty well off and the kind of people we know ( through our personal , professional contacts should come handy ).
5. Diversity in the professions we are in should constructively help our ambitions.
6. There are people who have been sucessful in running and maintaining and creating organisations , people having 20-30 years of experience and plethora of knowledge from their own functional areas.
We only need prove to ourselves first and then kick off , people will always come in. I have not seen anyone refraining from such an opportunity , the only thing is that people dont actually know how to do such things.
and people expect a lot from themselves.
Do we need something else ?
