RB-BTS Day 2011
The RB-BTS Day "Inspiring Us Together to Act, Give, Learn & Grow"
Raj Bhowmik 327
On May 10, came together various corporate people, home makers, moms, retired professionals and children under one roof – The Raj Bhowmik Back To Society Day to do something together – It was about opening their hearts & minds to connecting, to learn, give and receive.
A group of 30 RB-BTS DREAM volunteers from Bangalore came together as a family for the very first time and extended a helping hand to reach out to 150 children from the 18 villages of Sriramanahalli at the People’s Trust Campus Bangalore. They were ranging from Age 10 – 15 and were excited, happy and eager to learn.
The engaging activities were lead by industry professionals who are passionate about the skill and have pursued it in their daily life. Activities were in the following domains:

I like children and just being around. I enjoyed the activity that I was part of. I also come from a village background and saw myself being one among them. The RB-BTS Day was organized well and everything was under control. I enjoyed being part of this experience. Working with children was good & useful for them. The RB-BTS Day is a worthwhile endeavor.
Ruby Bana (CIO Havas Media, SAHHEAL Healing Consultant)
I was conducting a workshop on advertising - what makes it work? It was one of the many thousands of things happening on the same day. However my experience with the 15 children, many of them awaiting 10th class results, moving into college and on verge of adulthood was personal, It was and island with complete focus on them. I realised even though I know my subject well and have doen this many times but this time there was a larger wisdom flowing through me, adapting it to their life needs and slowly it was not me conducting the workshop but just being a medium for something bigger. In the process I learnt a perspective to my work that I had not realised before. I thank Raj for this RB-BTS Day Platform
Prabodh Kumar Gupta (Project Manager GTS @ IBM)
With regard to the yesterday event "RB-BTS Dream", I would like to thank you for doing the great job in coordinating the event. I cherished each & every moment of this event. All of the eight activities were thoughtfully planned & executed. We did it in unconventional manner & ensured the maximum participation from the children. It was lovely to see children enjoying the activities & was thinking in innovative ways to complete the tasks.
I would like Mr. Raj Bhowmik for such a wonderful initiative.
Rahul Venkatram (Manager, TED @ Wipro Technologies, SAHHEAL Healing Consultant)
Every time I am attending a BTS initiative I learn and heal some part of me. This time I felt closer to children and enjoyed the environment. Felt transparent and free. children are true image of the soul and being with them is a reflection of our soul. I learned to “to be” with them. I feel by being with them and give back to society has helped me in balancing myself and respecting and most significantly having gratitude and compassion towards the environment. There were no inhibitions about being with children. I was one among them and very much at ease. The global perspective is the synergy happening and everybody sharing ourselves without inhibitions.
I would like to thank the RB-BTS Day platform and Raj as it creates a focused energy. Grateful the way we did it. The learning was to “Be happy with what you have”
Dr. Meenakshi Viswanath (Orthodontist , SAHHEAL Healing Consultant)
It was moving to see so many people who took time out to do this together. The kids participating, their love and love touched me. I feel connected to this ocean of Compassion. I feel I am part of this family and very happy and glad to be a part of it. Lot of people are doing such good work and lots to learn from everybody. I want to be a part of this every year from where ever I am. I would like to say Thank You to the RB-BTS Day platform and Sri Raj Bhowmik. Its awesome. Very glad to be here. I wriggled my way into it with all my heart. The more that I know about Him, I feel Incredible. He is Unique. He is a Master because He is so full of it. People have busy schedules but yet have time to appreciate each other. The world still has lot of nice people who contribute in a nice and genuine way. Each and everybody was doing so much effort 100%.
