Oh yes! This is a new blog. I already have one.: [manzilhussain.blogspot.in] where I document my experiences, feelings and other stuffs. It is more of personal stuffs that I had been planning to document since long. There I have refrained from posting anything related to my professional life. However, there is also a need to jot down my experiences and learnings as a developmental professional. That way my exploits can benefit many!
I understand that maintaining a regular blog would be like keeping a diary. I have done it at school and college, though I missed it on most of the days. I didn't find it interesting because seldom could I be honest, coz I was afraid it will fall into wrong hands. That was inspite of the fact that I had discovered that my average performances improved on the days when I resolved to pen down my daily happenings. That was one of my greatest learning.
So now, as I embark on a new journey, I believe maintaining a blog will force me to do something worthwhile. Moreover, I need not write anything personal, so there is no point of fearing that it would fall into wrong hands. In this there would be an 'exceptional' exception: I would be pleased if the wrong people read it!
I believe that my blog will not even be a drop in the ocean of churning that the developmental sector is witnessing everyday. However, in insignificant but important steps, we can spread the goodness. And the small actions of ours needs to be documented so that the mistakes, which will be are larger than the successes, are not repeated by some else. There is so much to do and so little time, that it would be unethical to allow everyone to learn from their mistakes. We need to learn from each other so that we take accelerate efforts to take poverty head on.
Hence, I will try to document my failures more objectively. That I can assure you. I will also try to present my experiences with utmost honesty. However, I will refrain from 'exposing corruption' or the likes. That simply is not my mandate. And since in my new role of a PMRDF I will be an interface between the community and the government, I assure you that I will never be neutral. I will take sides - unashamedly. I will be with, for and of the people - always. I have always been a great believer in Gandhiji's talisman. That is my philosophy, and that is what I fall back upon when in confusion!
I would also try to maintain regularity. My friends will understand how tough it will be to keep my promise. I do not have a very good record on that. But yes, being regular would make me accountable to myself. I am the biggest critic of myself. So, don't be surprised if I edit and re-edit my posts!
However, there is a warning: I do am not very proficient in the Queen's language. So, do excuse my grammar, structure or spellings. I will however try to be as comprehensible as possible.
As of now, I have joined PMRDF at TISS, Mumbai undergoing an induction training. I'm also planning to jote down those experiences, for the future batches of PMRDFs, in particular, so that they can understand what they can expect.
