The LD College Cleaning Day-30th July 2009

30th July 2009- The LD College Cleaning Day("Deep ki aankho se")

Today was another important day of my life. I was in deep sleep at 7:00 and i got a message from one of my friends that Jagteraho article was published in today's City Bhaskar. I was too excited but at the same time i was feeling too sleepy. Apart from this i did not have the newspaper so i slept after replying her.

At 9:30, when Amit and Deepak were discussing about their so called "newspaper publicity" after seeing the e-paper version of Divya Bhaskar, i woke up. Immediately i jumped and sat in front of my laptop to see the JagteRaho's column. All of us were happy and were enjoying the "publicity". Then came Pankaj with the hard copy of the newspaper and we started commenting about the article. I never knew that www.jagteraho.co.in was helping in fighting against Ragging.(lols...)I then completed my daily morning activities and then we all went to canteen.

It was 10:10 now. We all had the hot and "nashili" tea of canteen with some wafers. I forgot to mention about the green ribbons we attached with our t-shirts as we were a part of Jagteraho-Nammi-LD Cleaning Group.

After having tea we all went towards the Mechanical Cross Roads.(Thought that every1 will ask about the article, but no one even looked at us...ha ha ha)

Then we went towards the electrical dept entrance where we again discussed the plan for the activity.

Now it was 10:25 and the volunteers started coming up. To our surprise the reporters from TV9 had reached here before 10:30. So we decided to give an interview on our website: www.jagteraho.co.in. We thought amit would be the best one to brief the entire Jagteraho in few minutes. And hence Amit explained them about the site and we managed the other tasks of today's activities.

Now the reporters from other media also started coming and I literally thought that "Ab to college saaf karana hi padega. Masti Masti me reporters bhi aagaye..." Nikunj was busy telling the teams where to go and Pankaj was busy giving them the required materials.

Mera kaam kya tha bas photo pado...!!!

We began sharply at 10:34 after a photo session for Ahmedabad Mirror.

On the other hand amit had finished giving the brief about the site and it was Jimmy's turn to give his opinions. And I knew he won’t be disappointing us....

I was going to the decided places for taking photographs along with the reporters. And was also helping the teams who did not get the materials. We had one and only, Devsi who ran here and there providing the required materials to all the teams.

I really appreciate the teams who went to those places where we don’t even think of going and cleaned up the garbage over there. Especially some of the girls whom I know(Yogita, Jinal, Nama, Zeal, Shailvi, Bhoomi, Khushali), and the others whom I dont know.... Hats off to u all.

Now the bags which we brought to collect the garbage were getting scarce. So immediately Baba and Mr X(I don’t remember his name) went and got some more bags. All the bags were collected behind the canteen. 1, 2, 3, ... it went up to 28 bags full of plastic bags!!!!!!!!!


Now the green college was looking clean...

The whole activity took 3+ hours. Then we had a photo session with the 28 garbage bags with flies over them!!!!



The whole team then had tea and refreshments in the college canteen.

Now it was the time for dumping the collected garbage. So we sealed all the bags and started taking 2-3 bags at a time to the nearby dumping location. (It was the time when I did a little work!!)

Kohail, Pankaj, Harsh, Nikunj, Jimmy and Deep(Myself) were the ones who took these bags, 2-3 at a time on three different vehicles and dumped it a proper place. This task took around 30 minutes and finally the work was over. Really???? The End????

I apologize to all those whose names were not written here and the ones whose names were not written here correctly. I also apologize for the spelling and grammatical mistakes which may have occurred here.

Thank You All of You

Thank You very very much…
