A Journey with PRAYAANA
It all started with a internship for 6 months applied through Internshala.
Prayaana being a women empowerment organization which trains women's and girls to achieve their skills and respective goals.
As I was going through the internship application page of Prayaana. The motive they have made me think deep. Observing it as an unpaid internship I started to research about the organization. We already know that for every question Google has a solution. I think I myself made to have a positive thought about the organization as giving a training with making them work is a good motive. Finally, I was done with applying to the internship and eagerly waited for their positive response.
Our elders say that what we think strongly and with a positive mind will definitely happen.
It happened.
I was shortlisted for the organization and SELECTED.
They pinged me through phone call and told that they would like to have a administrative interview in a few days.
I don't know if everyone gets sweat after hearing a word INTERVIEW. Anyway that word made me feel embarrassed, feel negative, feel that I cannot do, feel that good thoughts never win. Many thoughts ran into my mind at a strike. Our family motive is if we are peaceful we will find a new way of answer for every question.
I followed the same. And the interview went well and the last word I heard at that day and at that time is WELCOME TO PRAYAANA.
I felt it was a good start having a warm welcome to Prayaana.
I think it was the 10th month 2nd week. They have segregated the works according to their respective talents. Ms. Chandra Vadhana the founder of Prayaana directly talk to us shares her and many others ideas and encourages each and every person to develop their skills and reach their respective goals.
Her way of thought made me look into the bright side of life. Every person is assigned a different work. From my side I was assigned as a poster creator.
The first poster created was coffee chat meeting. A subject which I never knew about it. They provided mentors for every group and with a new start I got to know about how to do and what to do. After completing my first poster I was has happy for trying my best for my start up excitement. From then I started digging inside for how to use tricks to create poster.
May be it is my bad luck before I was going to start using the tricks. A sudden announcement of commencing examination has been announced. I had to take permission for not able to attend meetings for that particular month.
My exams have been completed at a strike. With a full excitement I myself rejoined in the activities but unable to understand the discussions. Being silent made me a tough situation but a support and giving importance to everyone from my team made me be a actual heartful worker. I always heartfully thank to my team members who always supported me and encouraged me for how to overcome that I may not do this work.
Entering into the second month of my internship we started a daily activity to perform regarding the importance of women in our society.
Everyday has a unique topic. I selected my topic as conducting quiz and performing riddles regarding women.
A day came when I was trying to give my best but inside I had a feeling that I cannot do and I cannot reach the desired expectations. Then again came my team members and it really gave a true feeling that made me come back to normal.
I again started making posters until everyone accepts it. No matter what happens to the inside me having full of thoughts I did not just ignore them but made them as my strength.
For many statements told by many people will be recognized as a fact until and unless we experience it. At this journey my experienced statement was, without facing difficulties we do not call it as a life. So, the same thing happened to me again a break is the announcement of college reopening. I never expected this flash news will arise this quickly. Due to this pandemic situation it has scared me a lot for how do i manage to save myself from covid-19. I decided to not to go to college until vaccine arises. We students know that how do they trick the students to come to college, and of course that is ATTENDENCE. They have messaged to my parents that she was absent. done. My parents started to turn back the plate and they decided to send me to college whatever it happens. At that situation i felt that for every parent attendance is more important than life. I felt so distressed for leaving my journey with Prayaana without even completing at least 3months. Then got a mini idea to continue the journey after completing my college hours. I did not think if it is right or wrong I immediately liked it and now from past 2 weeks I am attending to college and also getting myself updated to Prayaana.
We started to get a advertisement for the Pracol shopping website(www.pracol.com). Those who all are interested in making these were joined in another group and our group members created a story board and script writing we completed planning a celebrity for this advertisement. For the video editing i suggested my brother BGM (background music) creation. they really liked a lot and we decided to make it out with him. We started searching for the logo creation of the video as 100 smiles promises.
Professionally, I was a bit satisfied for the management of the things. But, personally I felt a bit unhappy because i was unable to take care of myself and mostly about the sanitization of myself. Days are going on this pandemic is dramatically increasing and likewise the fear in our family is also increasing... I hope that this hell ends quickly.
