the story of it all


you'll see no capital letters here. you wont see the right punctuation. and words may even be splet this way.

but the beginning was just the same; no punctuation no grammar no structure> just idea floating around with but a few hands to grab at him

the idea game isnt so much about elusive as it about - too busy to care -

one such grab led us to creating this playground we call look beyond resumes. its been a difficult difficult past year watching this baby come to life just so faintly. it takes a whole truck load of drive to move this from a thought to  an action.

come january 2012 and it will be a whole 365 days since we took the concept head on. weve seen people come, we've seen people go. believers, skeptics, experimenters hapless, name it and we've met at least one of them.

the its me tour, or the bharat dharshan as we fondly refer to it was just the experience we needed. travelled to 6 cities in about 2 weeks, met over a 150 people on the trip and we were just kicked to just be talking to each of them. this wasnt a lame marketing stunt we wanted to pull off.

that would be easy. hire a pr agency, get them to have a 100 people wearing tshirts and roaming around a city and interview people randomly with no emotion and look for a paycheck in return. how god awfully mistaken a direction!

what is was for us, was an opportunity to meet people who were once strangers transformed into friends and well wishers minutes later. we were invited home for lunch, met up for coffee at a mall, went for a walk, listened to a mother's tale about how work is taking away time from her daughter, a 30 year veteran speaking to a junior like me and telling us how he saw himself in his youth in our shoes, had a whole class of students smiling and egging us on instead of snoring, the list goes on

so the only thing i want to ask of you is to join us to help make this story a journey where people came together and people made a difference.

not one where people are consumed and people consume. lets build and lets move. im not talking about carrying out a mass walk down mg road in 10 cities. im talking about small changes, in small doses. just make that one better decision every single day. live a life of better choices, and eventually live in a world thats human and just right

all you need is a space, a playground, we'll give you the toys > the tools. and no we're not selling you anything. come over if u truly want in. no loiterers encouraged.

see you around!
