Ye Kalam or Ye Panne 📝
Aaj phir jab purane panne palat ke dekhe,
To pichle 9 saal ki tasveer saamne aa gayi …
8th July 2016…
Bas tab se roz ki dincharya, kahani-kisse likhe ja rahe hain,
Kabhi kisi dost ka zikr hota, to kabhi exam ka,
To kabhi job ke tension ka zikr likha jaata tha.
School mein tha tab likhne ki shuruaat kari thi,
Aaj naukri tak pahunch gaya hoon, sochta hoon —
“Kya main itna bada ho gaya hoon?”
Dekhte hi dekhte waqt badal gaya,
Zajbaat badle, log bhi naye ho gaye,
Bas saath raha to sirf —
Ye kalam aur ye panne.

Welcome back to Rubaroo × Social Impact Podcast!
In this second episode, we’re joined by Piyush, an NIT graduate who pursued his master's in Germany and began his journey in the corporate world—only to later take a bold leap into the social sector.
Currently working with NIPUN Bharat (National Initiative for Proficiency in Reading with Understanding and Numeracy), Piyush shares what inspired his shift, the challenges he faced, and how he finds meaning in helping build a stronger foundation for children’s education in India. 🇮🇳
📌 What to expect in this episode:
– Career switch from corporate to social impact
– Realities of working in the education system
– Thoughts on purpose, passion, and creating change
Welcome to the first episode of my Social Impact Podcast! 🎙️
In this episode, we sit down with Daisy and Shristi from BharatYatra—an incredible project where they left their corporate jobs to travel across India. Their journey is all about discovering different cultures, art forms, local cuisines, and meeting NGOs who are creating real change in our society.
One thing that stood out from our conversation: If you truly want to save money and learn as much as you would from a top B-school or college, just start traveling—immerse yourself in communities, step out of your comfort zone, and do things on your own. That’s where real learning happens.
To know more about BharatYatra and their inspiring story, tune in to the full podcast. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe—your support means a lot!

✨ Jagriti Yatra: Unforgettable Moments, Lifelong Learnings ✨
After starting from Mumbai late at night, our first full day on the train was a mix of introductions, sessions in the chair car, and some much-needed rest.
One thing we all eagerly waited for was food—an essential that kept us energized for the exciting journey ahead.
The real bonding began with an activity called Sharing Lifeline. Each of us shared the highs and lows of our lives, and this openness created a strong bond within our groups and cohorts—a connection that lasted throughout the Yatra.
JY (Jagriti Yatra) 2024 m aapka swagat hai.
To apni train ki seat p baith jaiye or ek new adventure ko sunne k lie tyar ho jaiye.
To yaaron chalein kya??
