ThinkRite

A group of around 150 students in their teens and a pin drop silence in the hall. Unbelievable, but true. To say that we had a great Intro session for our flagship program ThinkRite - For Teens will surely be an understatement in the face of the extraordinary response we received. The Intro Session held on the 13^th of August 2008 was that powerful. Though initially tired at the fag-end of the day, the girls perked up once they sensed that they are about to encounter something very different.

The Director of the Institution Mr. Pattabi Raman along with the Vice Principal and the Academic Coordinator of the College inaugurated the Session. He introduced Kirtanya, our Life-Coach, to the students and educated them on the importance of the program setting the pace for the session.

After that as Kirtanya delivered insight after insight the students sat up in the seat and literally began to glow with their intense attention. The energies were building up and half way through the session it reached a peak with the students discussing the variety of issues they face within themselves. They were very open and forthcoming as they perceived the opportunity of a unique forum to really discuss and understand their hard core issues that no one else might ever understand.

Nearly every eye was wet with tears of relief and love as the session drew to a close with the participants taking an oath and a deep commitment that they will not miss themselves and they will not let the world miss them. As soon as Kirtanya kept the mic down, there was a hussle to hug her. The gratitude of those students was palpable in the few words that echoed in the hall again and again through various mouths, “Awesome! These two hours made a world of a difference to me!”.
