I must confess that when I got the posting orders to Dadenggre in Oct 2017, I had no idea where it was. During the road journey, especially the last couple of hours, we didn't even cross a single vehicle, during broad daylight. There was no ATM, no petrol pump and cellular networks were a luxury. It was so quite after sundown that the ticking sounds of the wall clock were bothersome.
A lot has changed since then, for good. We have tried to bring some kind of change. Perhaps baby steps, but even that sounds gigantic for this place. I am touched to see the simplicity of living and how humble people are. It has totally changed my perspective. It has taught me how to realize the Gandhian Idea of 'Simple Living'. I feel fortunate to having lived in the lap of nature, absolutely pristine and pure. When you breathe the air, you can actually feel the healing it does to your body. This is perhaps the way almighty intended the coexistence of species with the nature. Absolutely spiritual.
But, like everything else, this has to end too as a new beginning awaits. Thank you all the people of Dadenggre who have supported our initiatives and have volunteered for several works. I wish Dadenggre and it's people, prosperity and happiness.
Thank you all. Pilankon Mitela.
