Supari



Supari is the Indian adaptation of Street Wars, a water gun
assassination tournament played the world over. In India, it began in Mumbai and will soon come to Delhi. Tarun Durga, one of the creators, calls Supari “a social experiment in the guise of a game”.
Each person who signs up (for Rs 50) gets a supari with the target’s name and contact details. The killer has five days to ‘eliminate’ the target with a water gun or water balloon in real life. The individual will be giving all the details such as the target’s home address, office address and the individual(carrying his Supari documents) can go as a delivery boy. Sales man,etc and attack the target. But he better be careful as he himself maybe the target of many.
The Internet is where people can live their fantasies. Net users can live an edgy double life, and experience the adrenalin rush of doing something dangerous without all the real-world hassles.

Bombay Scottish School (Powai)

The next group that I have chosen to write about is about the school I was from in Mumbai .
Bombay Scottish School(Powai)is the daughter school of the main Bombay Scottish school(Mahim) which is a 183years old and is one of the best schools in Mumbai.
The one in Powai is small and is only 14years old. Like every other school its has classes from the junior kg to the 10th standard and is an ICSE school.
I was in the school for 10years and  naturally became very attached to it. But as time passed the school was like my second home and my teachers and friends were like family. Thus leaving my school was heart breaking as I was leaving behind so many memories and the reason as to what I am today.
Even though I passed out of my school in 2009 being a member of this community helps me be in touch with my home. Almost all my seniors and juniors are a part of this community. Even though the difference between the batches is a lot and , we all come to the same level when there is an announcement of the sports day or the annual concert or an inter house competition and fills us with the same overwhelming emotions. We know each other or not we all fight the same patriotism on the wall for the respective houses when discussions related to the four houses red, yellow, blue or green.
 We as a part of alumni are able to also be in touch about the details of the teachers who nurtured us like mothers. Many of them now being members of the group itself..
Even though I am not a very active member it helps me stay connected with my batch mates, juniors and seniors. The group too isn’t very active as such but it gives us a feeling that no matter where we will go or what we will do or always stay connected to our school our home.

WORLD FOR ALL - ANIMAL ADOPTIONS


Now-a-days when humanity is diminishing at a very fast rate, there are a very few people in the world who really care for other humans and even less for animals.
But those few people spend a lot of their time creating an awareness for those creatures who cant speak for themselves and give them the respect and love they deserve.
The group that I have chosen is called World For All-Animal Adoptions which is a NGO for the welfare of animal care and rehoming of abandoned and abused strays and pets.
They are such an organization of animal lovers who work tirelessly with dedication caring for ill treated cats and dogs mainly. Providing them with a better life by relocating them to loving homes were will they will be cared for. They provide shelter and temporary homes to the animals along with many facilities like veterinary assistance, even if it means it means going to attend a distress call at wee hours in the morning for rescue missions.At the foster homes they carry out activities like vaccinations, medications, and grooming for the strays. They try to expand as much as they can to reach out to people to adopt these animals. They carry out detailed background checks on the families adopting the animals to ensure they go into loving homes. They focus on the adoption on the Indian breeds as they feel they are in urgent need for adoption as they are strictly against selling and breeding dos for the purpose of money.
They conduct various activities like sterilization drives for animal birth control and providng aid for wounded animals.They try to raise funds through various awareness campaigns and collecting funds through selling of calendars, t shirts and other merchandise.
Through this group on facebook their main aim is to find a public stage where they can bring together like minded people and spread the message through them as they join the group. Also decide on idea and carrying out steps that can take this organization forward.

World For All isn’t just a group that holds discussions or puts up pictures to view but it has a purpose and a cause behind it. For which it takes the help of the virtual world to make people understand the importance of animals.  It takes one small step to spread the message of universal love especially among creatures who understand only that language.
