AANGAN... A project which connects the nostalgic dots.

After a long gap of 10 years we all college buddies met in our campus. This reunion was very special for us. No grudges, No Previous loads of any thing... just a feeling of meeting again. We met in the month of July 2015 and again the connection of all started. Whatapp group took all of us connected. Now we discuss many things on it.On one fine day being nostalgic we were talking about how were those days when we were kids. How were we?

Our parents were available to us, we were less technology driven but more active than today's smart kids......and so on... and then Neha shared her concept. on the same path as what she started in her Society. she said, "There is a thought came up in my mind which is now shaping up with the support of my Self Expression and Leadership Program offered by Landmark Worldwide, the thought has became a project now  and with the support of each and every individual it can grow globally."

This was the creation of background and we all were getting impatient that now what she will share. somewhere it was our thought that may be she is talking about chain marketing businesses popular these days. we took pranks on that and suddenly chat stopped on the word "AANGAN". This piece of area called Aangan has became a fairy tale concept for the kids of metro city and the era of nuclear family. With the project AANGAN, Neha came up with an idea of creating a club for small kids and their young parents wherein they will be playing games involving physical activities like kabaddi, kho kho, langdi, dog and the bone, etc. We all grown up playing these games and which we used to play with our siblings or friends or cousins.... So basically in groups.... Kids in this generation have a very few friends and majorly engaged in electronic media like gaming consoles mobiles, laptops, idiot box {TV you know...}etc. So this is the concept to give them the space to get grounded and get connected with their parents through these play sessions. Isn't it a great Idea to give this generation with what we grew up. It brings a connect of feelings between parents and kids. Neha brought this concept to her society.

And anyhow It is said That, "You look your Childhood at your ward", but Were you that tech savvy? or does your ward play the games you grown up playing with? 

Neha and her society, are planning to celebrate an AANGAN DAY on 26th January 2016 at their Society Runway Garden at City Thane west Mumbai . They have started promoting this concept through Facebook page https://m.facebook.com/Aangan-1605856703009405/, word of mouth and whatsapp groups. This initiative will bring a new life to the modern and sophisticated technocrat societies. In case of any support for  those who wish to, can contact Neha or go through the link of FB. So all the societies are welcome to celebrate AANGAN DAY this Republic Day on 26th January 2016. A revolution of resolution to bring real bachpan back. Looking for the grand connection of all the societies to bring our bachpan back.

So, by having play sessions on sat and sun for 2 hours a day Neha and her society started this in  Thane west with a pure wish to get it started in various societies all over Mumbai and then in India.

Then why not to Share your experiences, Photographs of your AANGAN in your society, put comments and suggestions to make this resolution worth experiencing.

Such practices are required to get connected with the kids and make them fit mentally and physically. Involvement of parents and other kids creates an enthusiasm of belonging, share and care. your 2 hours on every Saturday and Sunday can keep your ward close to you. It is try to show our bachchaparty how we grown up and it is an answer to the regular question of our kid,"What mom dad you people are so dull, you don't know what games and play are", are we or they?
