Paint is Good!

I volunteer with this organisation called The Ugly Indian (TUI). Its an organisation that recognizes dump yards, and places that need a complete renovation. Instead of repeatedly requesting the government to do the necessary things, they give a shout-out to their volunteers and to people living nearby to help them clean out the spot. Its called a spotfix. A spotfix was organised in a place called Indiranagar, around 15 km from where I live. I was so excited to go for the spotfix, that I didnt care where the location was. I left home at 7 to reach there by 7.30, but reached there 15 minutes later. Well, I volunteered, and for my first time, I got to paint trees red! It was a really good experience. Working with people for a better living. For the first time, painting two streets with red was good! A small contribution, but something that might end up being helpful for someone!

This was the largest tree I painted and the most difficult one too. Your hand really starts paining after a while. While carrying that paint basket and the paint brush, and painting trees in around two streets. The trees too, were huge, and some insanely impossible to paint. But, I got around painting a part of such trees. 

That day, I realized the happiness you get after a job well done, and how you feel after working in a team to finish something you always wanted to do. The very thought about volunteering and being able to do it. Not only at this level, but at higher levels too (will be cleared in coming posts). I will be working with this organization for however long I can, and try to fix every dirty spot on the roads of Bangalore!
