Memories

The outing day was memorable as all sevikas had really enjoyed the mahakhels

and the beautiful rain along with the marvelous place. Besides, the lunch was

extremely delicious.

Further, most sevikas had been adoring the sunrise and the mountain view in the

morning as clouds covered the peak due to rain, and also the sunset when we

conducted the evening shakha at the football playground.

In addition, since it was after a long that such a wonderful thing like the

Sanchalan incurred in Petit Paquet, the inhabitants had appreciated the marching

whereby many people took lots of photos.

Point to be noted, it is the first time that a sevika, Dhrishti ji from Albion, has

played the Aanak during Sanchalan and this great day has been printed in

everyone’s heart.

Moreover, the cultural evening was extremely fun.

Feedback

Farshinee ji stated:

FarShy Rughoonundan

[hello..it was my second time in hss varg..it was quite different this year as boys and girls were separated. but this have shown that we ;girls can manage very well without boys. This varg took place at petit paquet mt.blanche...i was staying at udhin's house which was a very beautiful house. and every morning as i opened the window in the kitchen i used to see the magificent mountain view surrounded by beautiful fog..i was left speechless..the weather was quite rainy but i enjoyed myself playing in the rain. this time i learnt many things like making my own tea ,how to manage a house, to do households, to be polite ,to share my things with others, to tolerate others behaviour...but one day when we went for lunch at an inhabitant; an old lady who was very polite,very nice..she started to praise her son who was a sevak in hss and suddenly she started to cry as she lost her son. this was quite emotional..i also like the company of many people special whose who was staying in the same house.they really

Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh MRU 4-days Sevika Varg 2012 report

helped in some way. and i would like to thank everyone for giving me such nice moments. would definitely come next year..]

Ashmita ji statement:

Ashmita Ourvashee Seetal

[The varg was a successful one however there was less interaction between sewikas since there were two niwaas. New sewikas failed to mingle with senior ones. The varg should have been extended as 4 –day is not enough for one to acquire a good knowledge on a specific subject. Gana should be divided properly so as not to slow fast-learners or those who already have a solid base on that particular subjects. Sewikas should be given more opportunities to play management and business games so as to develop their intellectual skills. We understand the absence of Saulickji, our Sanchalika for this varg. However the participation of Reshmeeji, our samraksika and Vidyajii, our sayomjika would have been highly appreciated since many sewikas are unaware of their existence.]

Keerti ji claimed:

[As this varg was my fifth one, my experience for sevika varg was awesome this year. At last HSS decided to have a separate varg for swayamsevak and swayamsevikas which was successful on the wing of sevikas. I feel proud as we, sevikas, were able to conduct our Sanchalan and Samaroh by ourselves. This proves that we are not less than the sevaks. I also got the chance to be a shikshika even if I was not a good one. Sometimes I was nervous especially when Deepa ji was standing beside me, seeing if I was doing well. This year sevikas from other villages came to Petit Paquet to attend the seminar. The way they behaved seemed like they really like the way it was and they also got the chance to get to know some senior sevaks/sevikas and their family. In some way, everyone helped their friend; when Farshinee ji had to do her essay and Dhrishti ji had to pratice her yogchap schedule for the next morning class. I don’t know about others but this varg has really helped me; to develop my voice [to have a commanding voice], not to be shy in front of others, to be open. I thank you all for helping me and also to give me this opportunity to be a shikshika. Thanks -Keerti Seenauth]
