One School at a time..

"When it is dark enough, you can see the stars"

This is the opening quote of a book that I recently read - "Three Cups of Tea". It is a story of an American mountaineer who goes back to the high mountains of Pakistan with a different objective this time - to build a school. He goes on to build several of them.  It is inspiring to note how one man can make a significant contribution to education, no less female education in this rugged terrain, which is splendidly beautiful in some respects and harsh and brutal in others.

Thimmakka - when motherhood beckons!

Sometimes, I wonder what makes a few among us leave a lasting impression on our society? Why is it that some men and women make a healthy contribution to our environment, while some of us are still stuck making sense of our own little worlds?

This is a story that has never failed to impress upon me, the value of a sincere desire coupled with a strong initiative and followed through with consistent efforts.
