I recently settled as a freshman at Boston University. It has been an exhilarating experience! The wonderful campus on Commonwealth Avenue, the beautiful city of Boston, and most importantly, the students from all around the world. I am busy absorbing it all. Before realizing, my parents came to pick me up for Labor Day weekend.

It felt good to be home too, esp to be treated with home cooked food. And then my mother gently reminded me of the Ekal Youth Leaders project, 'Save for Change'. She had an Ekal box ready for me, it had the story of Soham, our youngest EYL. I walked around our neighborhood and talked about the project. 

Here are some inspiring quotes from my search:

"Great things are done by a series of small things brought together." -Vincent Van Gogh

"I try to do the right thing at the right time. They may just be little things, but usually they make the difference between winning and losing." -Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

"Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones tend to take care of themselves." -Dale Carnegie

"I long to accomplish a great and noble task, but it is my chief duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble." -Helen Keller

Indian proverb

Boond-boond se ghara bharta hai.
