Friendship

I often used to ask question what are friends? I used to answer myself: friends are those who are selfish, cheater, wants only entertainment, fun and want to bully to make down. I think this thought came in my mind because there are no friends in my community. I used to live alone in my […]

Perspective

The plant is inside the room and it seems happy, healthy and clean to us. But the reality is that the plant is deprived of freedom. He is forcefully brought from his native place and compelled to survive in a neighborhood where he has no one to talk to and no one he can express […]

Caste and Politics: Beyond India

The reason that I applied for the Leadership collective is simple: youth citizenship. This year’s theme couldn’t have matched my interests more. I’m interested in all things related to law and government. I firmly believe that these institutions are the bedrock of our society. Today, my group had a workshop with Naveen from the Centre […]

Separation

Today all three groups separated & departed to their, (feels like far away) homes. It kind of left a toll on us because we were just creating new & connecting more bonds. I know that it will be okay in the long run because the leaders have made very trusty decisions for us and I […]
