Each and every time, when we do a social activity, we come across three groups of people.  Inquisitive (Jignashu), In-need (Jaruiriaat), and In-for-Ever (Jami Gayela).  In our recent program of All Brahmin Convention 2003, we started with exactly three groups, but on the last day, there was only one kind of group.  They were all "In-for-Ever."

I could not sleep over the amazement of love, respect and admiration, which I witnessed among all my fellow Brahmin families.  They were shaking hands, smiling, saying Namaste, and hugging each other, all were so overwhelmed and all over.  I said.  It couldn't be done without love for this.  But...

There was a group of young people; they were there to volunteer any work.  This was most energetic, ever ready kind of young group.  This group is my "Soldiers of Brahmin Samaj", who did all the volunteer work of cleaning, running to airport, dancing, singing, and whatever was demanded.  They excelled all the times.  I could not resist saying, "It couldn't be done without soldiers".  But...

There was a group of parents and leaders of other Brahmin Samaj and guardians.  They were there to support and see that everything goes decently.  By the end of the first session, they were just enjoying like their children and they all went extra mile to make us feel that we belong to a one big Brahmin family.  I couldn't resist and said, I could not do anything without help of these people.  But...

There was a group consisting of VIP guests, Great speakers, and Entertainers.  They offered nothing less than Best in the area of their expertise.  Everyone from young to adult could not stop showing whole satisfaction and joy.  I could not resist saying, "It couldn't be done without them".  But...then...

I found the backbone of our success, at the end of all the events that Love, respect, grace, understanding and accepting responsibilities by each one of us contributed a drop of skill, strength and support that made whole event a grand success.  I rested my quest of "It couldn't be done without this" by saying, our hats are off to all those drops, and those who attended, and participated in our convention.

Great job.  Thank you all.  Remember that Garland is made of several flowers and Necklace is out of several diamonds.  We have had lot of flowers and diamonds at the convention.
