re: Fresh Meeting |

Mani,
I am very happy you are coming forward enthusiastically. There are a few others also, who are eager now to meet. But I would like to ensure that we have at least 10 people this time, - I mean 10 hardcore volunteers - who can get down to work and NOT just meet. Taking the drop-down ratio as 10:1 (app.), we have to make 100 people confirm their participation in any out-of-the-net activity. I would confidently say that WCFC is really having a good number of virtual members, as this network itself connects people only virtually.
The comfort of making a posting in the net, in a jiffy, and getting on with other mundane tasks, is the boon and the bane of the net. We have an uphill task in converting the virtual comfort/anger/service-attitude to real life.
I have met a few wonderful people in WCFC. Some of them are quiet young and going through the calls of life, like marriage or migration to other cities due to transfer or job change, etc. I hope that they would get back and join hands to continue what they wanted to do thru' this network. We also have a few people, who fall in my age group (50s'), showing an infectious enthusiasm all the time. They also have to be reached back again.
To my knowledge, at least in Chennai, there is NOT even a single group that got formed virtually, (in the net) which is able to engage itself in community tasks with a dogged pursuit. The net is yet to strike the imagination of the common man, when it comes to translating ideas into practice in the service front, while it does a wonderful job connecting people on activities that can trigger the humour segment of the brain, call it leisure or pleasure time activities.
The challenge before WCFC is to disprove what I have described above. It is a very tough task, but as I had mentioned in one of the threads earlier, I am trying to stay floating in Ryze and spot out the ones whose sense of righteous anger doesn't get born and die on the net.
Will reach you on the phone.
Govind Srinivasan
