Summary: We believe we can find the solutions for most of the everyday problems that we complain about,  if we are willing to do something about it.

 

 

We start off with an Initiative to fill/fix some the pot holes in roads of Chennai.

 

A little more detail: Three friends, from very varying backgrounds get together over coffee to plan some activity around Independence day. We quickly mull through the usual "scribble on the wall" concept and get into the details of what usually goes on a wall. Walls are always filled with wishlists. Wishes of how things could be better, how we wish... it was that way. Don't we all wish sometimes, that someone would do something about all the potholes that we see in the roads of Chennai?

 

Out attitude is that, the problem of the city is our problem. We are not doing anyone a service actually and we do not expect humanitarianism to ooze out of this city. We do what we think, was our responsibility all along, just neglected. We decided we are going to fix that.

 

If you believe in the same, do join us. Even better, start a local I-Fix Campaign to fix the potholes in your area. If you need help, just give us a ring or drop a mail.

Fourth Campaign

Status: Planning Underway. Sign up for the Mailing List to be part of it.

 

Date: June 7th, Saturday

Time: 9:30pm

 

Activity Brief: There are quite a few medians (those stones that seperate lanes) which are all over the place which seem to be causing a lot of inconvenience. We are thinking about picking a few roads and straigtening those stones so that they are in a straight line. Also, we are thinking about painting them with some reflecting material so that the stones are a bit more visible during the night.

    M.Ramakanth:The October campaign From the time I stumbled on to this movement, you guys have launched, I knew for sure that it will be successful and will spread like wildfire. Being an avid DIY guy myself, I know that simple jobs can be performed with ease and perfected over time. All one needs is commitment, attitude and above all high spirits. We seem to have loads of it. Let me quote two bits of conversation overheard in the thick of the action on 13/10: 1. "What was your earlier plan if you had not volunteered for this one?" " I had planned to go to the Pub, but since I had volunteered, I thought this was right thing to do. I am happy I came" 2. "What did you tell your parents before you left, as to the reason you'll be staying out so late?" " I told them I'll be going to a movie with friends, because if I had told them the truth, they will think either I am lying or crazy" The 13/10 campaign was great and it was a privilege to be a part of it. One guy works in Bangalore and visits family at Madras only on weekends and he chose to be part of the campaign on Sat. night. Another felt it a privilege to fix a pothole outside St.Johns School in Besant Nagar, as he had studied there for 12 years. For sheer spirit or dedication, we dont seem to lack anything. So, let me sign off by congratulating guys like Vijay and Ram for harnessing it all. Cheers!! M.Ramakanth Palavakkam, Chennai-41. m_ramakanth@hotmail.com 9841081283
    Vijay:Neha, I've shot across an email to you.
    neha:I want to start this initiative in Pune. Please provide some inputs.
