From Shadows to Sunlight - My Sevankur Bharat Journey of Becoming Confident!

In the bleak landscape of the 2020 pandemic, a glimmer of hope emerged. A senior's casual invitation to join an online experience-sharing program ignited a spark that would irrevocably change my life. Little did I know that this "organization" would become the cornerstone of my personal growth.

From Shy to Becoming Confident

I was a quintessential introvert, shrouded in self-doubt. The idea of sharing my thoughts or seeking attention was a nightmare. Sevankur Bharat, however, was a crucible that forged my insecurities into strength. The program's structure, designed to encourage participation, pushed me out of my comfort zone. To my astonishment, I found myself engaging in conversations, expressing my opinions, and even clinching the "best debater" award. This unexpected triumph laid the foundation for the person I am today.

Discovering a Larger World

My sheltered world shattered as I encountered individuals who had overcome extraordinary challenges. Dr. R. Balu's inspiring words in the One Week for Nation, Saragur camp, revealed a universe beyond the confines of academics and relationships. His profound insights into 'seva' ignited a passion for selfless service within me.

Embracing Humanity: Overcoming My Fear!

I am blessed beyond words to get the opportunity to come for 3 One Week for Nations (OWFN’s). Through these three unforgettable OWFN experiences, I immersed myself in the lives of tribal communities. Their warmth, resilience, and unwavering generosity humbled me deeply. These encounters broadened my perspective and filled my heart with compassion.

The third OWFN, held at Haridwar in 2024, was particularly transformative. Living amidst the simplicity and harmony of the tribal people was a profound experience. Their genuine smiles, shared meals, and heartfelt stories created an indelible mark on my soul. The children's laughter as they played in the pristine environment was a stark contrast to the usual city life.

As the Boudhik Saha Pramukh, I gained invaluable experience in event management. This role honed my leadership skills and taught me the intricacies of bringing a project to fruition. The challenges I faced in coordinating activities amidst resource constraints were a steep learning curve, but the satisfaction of seeing the event unfold successfully was immense.

A Collection of Genuine Connections

Sevankur Bharat introduced me to a diverse network of doctors, each with a unique story. Yet, we shared a common bond—a deep-rooted love for the organization. With every Sevankur activity, I discovered a new facet of myself, a stronger, more confident version.

Sevankur Bharat was more than just an organization; it was a catalyst for personal transformation. It nurtured my growth, expanded my horizons, and enriched my life in ways I never imagined. The memories of Saragur, and Haridwarin particular, remain etched in my heart as a testament to the power of human connection and the beauty of simplicity.

Thank you Sevankur Bharat for bringing out the leader in me.

I never thought that I would be confident in holding the mike and walking the talk of anchoring - but today I only smile because I have outgrown my limiting beliefs!
