1,900 Children Quit School In Metro Region Amid Pandemic Ours Doubled during the past 2 years. Reasons: We started with online classes. It was a total failure due to ignorance of parents & children, network, recharge issues etc. Our teacher dared to continue classes at her home, with social distancing, as we were not getting permission to hold classes, risking the whole family's health. As soon as the lockdown was announced we started giving monthly ration to their families. We still continue to give them ration. We continued giving them healthy food like bananas, dates, and Ladoos at their doorsteps. We continued our Birthday parties. Food packets, cake slices, and gifts used to be delivered to their doorsteps. Half-yearly Deworming Doses continued on due dates. We encouraged them to get vaccinated as they were very apprehensive about the reaction. We lured them by offering an additional kit of rations for getting vaccinated. Our teacher used to register the illiterate parents by holding their mobiles to check OTP, risking her health. We paid for the vaccination as getting free slots was difficult initially. The teacher helped them find free slots by keeping awake till late at night & getting them registered by calling them home for OTP. We started offline classes with the compulsory wearing of masks in classes & observing social distance with result classes used to start early in the morning & continued till 9 pm. Our Teachers turned into Covid Warriors & continued classes while all schools & classes were closed.

I worked for Reserve Bank of India for 27 years & retired as Assistant Manager. Believe me, me metabiological age is 45 years whereas my biological age is 72 years. I hang out with my school friends since past 60 years. I joined Anupam Kher's Acting Academy at 70 years & made friends with people 1/3 of my age & often hang out with them in theatres etc. I am very passionate about social causes. I volunteered for Trust run by UTV, looking after Mentally Handicapped People from Slum for 10 years. Organised show for Physically & Mentally Challenged children on Antakhshri on Zee TV with Anu Kapur & Pallavi Joshi as host in 2001. On 21 Mar 2007, I formed my own Trust & named it Sona Sarovar Trust. We work for slum children who go to school. Since parents are illiterate & poor, they cant afford to pay tuition fee, with the result these children score low, fail, drop out of the school & start earning. Parents too welcome an extra income so...

A Miraculous Free Medical Therapy At the age of 50 I was a miserable soul. My knees hurt so much that I couldn’t walk even a few steps at home. One fine day I got a call from Dr Satish Vasa. He enquired whether I would like to start a new treatment for my knees. I told him that I trust him with my life. He told me to start with urine therapy. He gave me a few instructions. I kept my toothbrush ready, and drank a whole cup of urine. Within a few days my knee pain disappeared. Within a few weeks, the swelling of the joints reduced considerably with the result that my ring would fall off while sleeping. . I have many fat glands (Lipoma) on my arms. I realised that their size also reduced considerably. I had a ganglion cyst in my right wrist. It used to hurt so badly that I would start crying while cooking food. I realised that it stopped hurting. I used to get big boils on my hips called Hidradenitis Suppurativa one after the other, which used to hurt a lot and bleed heavily aft...
