Despite having a demanding work schedule, how and where must one begin to go about accomplishing one’s wish to benefit and serve others? -Neha Bindal, 33, Chartered accountant
It’s important to be focused and passionate about what you do for commercial success. But it is more important to have a passion to serve, to improve the life of people around you. Pick up any cause and put your heart and soul in it. It’s easy to criticise, but difficult to execute and make a change. Be that change.
It takes tremendous courage to donate a loved one’s organs. Where did you find the strength to take this step?
-Manish Pandey, 27, Banker
Syed Rafath Parveen’s father, Syed Ahmad AliShah says, “The dominant thought that convinced us to go ahead with organ donation was to help humanity and keep my daughter alive in others. Organ donation is a gift to people who may not have any other chance of survival, to give them an opportunity to live, with better quality of life. Syed Rafath Parveen’s sacrifice will go a long way towards bringing hope to those currently waiting for an organ transplant.”

You reached out to people through social media to help them during the pandemic. However, many said that you must have had an agenda behind your actions. How did you deal with all the negativity on social media and remained focused?
- Rohit Sinha, 30, Engineer
It’s very important to focus on what you are doing, than what others think about this whole movement. You can’t change what people think; you just have to stay focused, and do your bit. All the people trying to pull you down, they slowly give up. There is work happening, lives are being saved and changed. There are all kinds of people; you don’t have to think about them. I saw the positive side of the whole movement. I am trying to inspire people to come forward and give back to others. That has been my ambition, goal and motive. That’s what I have been doing.
