Sailen Manna: He Played The Game With A Difference

Submitted by aurora on

We see and hear of leaders everywhere. Perhaps being a leader in sport is even more challenging because when you play the game, you are always in the spotlight, your every decision as a leader is debated and discussed and before you even know the whole world would have termed you as a successful one or a failure. Whether all that analysis is right or wrong is a different thing to debate upon, perhaps the greatest certificate that you get as a leader, specially in sport is from your own teammates (including coaches, back room staff etc).

A nice poem penned by former PM Vajpayee

बाधायें आती हैं आयें

घिरें प्रलय की घोर घटायें,

पावों के नीचे अंगारे,

सिर पर बरसें यदि ज्वालायें,

निज हाथों में हंसते-हंसते,

आग लगाकर जलना होगा।

कदम मिलाकर चलना होगा।

हास्य-रूदन में, तूफानों में,

अगर असंख्यक बलिदानों में,

उद्यानों में, वीरानों में,

अपमानों में, सम्मानों में,

उन्नत मस्तक, उभरा सीना,

पीड़ाओं में पलना होगा।

कदम मिलाकर चलना होगा।

उजियारे में, अंधकार में,

कल कहार में, बीच धार में,

घोर घृणा में, पूत प्यार में,

Its not a bed of roses - it never will be

Each Sunday since the last 9 years, Sankalp Volunteers meet and discuss work. Almost all volunteers are there divided into teams and united by common purpose to save lives. There is a rare day or two in a year when someone gets appreciation. The standards are pretty high. Delivering upon them is a real challenge. And even a single mistake is seen critically. But that is not something that worries anyone. These are not people who need pat on their back to be motivated. They are not here for recognition, name or fame.

Blood Donation Camp @ Hop On Girls

Hop On Gurls is a group of girls who think out of the box. They are a group of girls who have a passion for riding Royal Enfield bullet. They wanted to organise a drive in one of their volunteer's place, in a residential area. Being aware of the possibility of low donor turnout in such outdoor camps, Sankalp, agreed for the drive, considering it a motivational drive for the people of the area.
