When   many enjoyed a glass of wine,

     A few shared 'A Cup of Smile'

    

     

    A group of youngster choose to celebrate 31st Dec differently by Serving those who Serve us (Mumbai Police). 'A Cup of Smile' offering a cup of tea' to the onduty policeman so that they could spare a moment in relaxation from their hectic duty and appreciating their efforts in keeping us safe. The group was formed just a few days ago with the help of social media when this idea came to the mind of Dnyaneshwari  Velankar, a college student residing in Girgaon, "Party and Celebrations happen every year but I wanted to do something unique. So how about serving  'The Real Heroes' the Mumbai Police because of whom others get to celebrate safely."said Dnyaneshwari who was the Women behind all this.

   Thirteen volunteers not only came forward to support but also contributed money for the tea and cups that were to be arranged. They  started the tea distribution from Girgaon chowpatty at 10 pm and went all the way upto Nariman point to serve more than 600 policeman.    "Witnessing the smile on the face of policeman was a priceless moment of my life and a it was the first time that I got to know the human being behind the khakki" said Jayesh one of the 13 volunteer.            

     "Many onlooker took notice and appreciated the efforts but some misinterpreted us as 'chaiwalla' and one even asked for cigrates or litters. Which we didnt have", said Akshay kedia a  volunteer who had come all the way from kandivali for being part of this. After a tireing yet satisfying experience at around 3 am  the group wound up at churchgate station with 6 empty tea kettles but a mind full of hope,rejoice and satisfaction thus starting the new year on a really 'HIGH' note.
