My endeavor has been to unite all the sections of the village so that they all work together and help each other for achieving 100% literacy for their village. One of the objectives of every Sunday's program was primarily intended for the same. But in spite of inviting the youth associations the presence of youth has never been felt. Even, the district collector during his visit last Sunday pointed that youth was missing.
In order to motivate the youth I was planning to invite some popular film star and have been in touch with a veteran and well respected Telugu film maker for some time. He had already spoken to a star earlier but because of Collector's planned visit I requested him to wait. Now that the collector's visit was over I was planning for the film star's visit. But I have been told that there could be a festival in the coming days and hence it may not be a good idea to invite any film personality. There was no confirmation, yet.
I visited the village again on Wednesday, 27 July, and checked with the village leaders. They promised to sit together the next day and would let me know by afternoon, the same day. The next day when I called Sarpanch he told me that "Bonalu", the festival, was cancelled for this year and I could go ahead with my program. I immediately called the film maker and requested him to arrange for a poplar figure to visit the village on coming Sunday, 31 July. He responded positively and promised to arrange somebody.
The next day, when contacted, Sarpanch told me that some people opposed the festival cancellation plan and they had to again declare the festival celebrations for the coming Sunday and Monday.
It was very embarrassing for me to again contact the film maker and ask him to stop arranging one. But, I had no choice. Called him and requested him not to arrange anyone. He understood the problem and accepted my request.
We can only let go the things which are beyond our control!!
