An Idea

One of the most inspirational quotes of contemporary history has been ".. ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country."

These are JFK's timeless words as we all know. And these words inspired an entire generation of folks to join a movement; much similar to what we witnessed almost 45 years later when a "message of change" resonated with a vast majority of people across the US and the world.

Why did these messages click? What was in it, that made it work?

We think it was the moment itself. The timing, if you will. "An idea whose time has come, works" as they say. An idea is something that in most cases sparks with a conversation. And it grows into a bigger flame as more contributions are made.

Something similar happened to Nagpur First. It started as a simple conversation between two hard-core Nagpuris and now as you can see it's truly on it's way to becoming a much bigger movement.

But the work has only just begun. It's still nascent in it's form and shape with some baby steps taken. We need to nourish this small sapling and make it grow into a tall, handsome, robust,shady and green tree. As green as our dear Nagpur.

Nagpuris have a lot of passion and a lot of fire inside our belly. Now we need to channelize this fire into something constructive. Something bigger and greater than its own self. How each of us approaches is not relevant at this stage. We need to keep the big picture in mind. The picture being that of a 'Nagpur - A Global city by 2020'.

This blog and it's editorial team firmly believe, that this is a realistic goal and that if we all engage in a positive and constructive way, we can make it. We can Do It.

The Nagpur First blog will be our attempt to express and articulate various efforts and needs to achieve this goal. We will be looking for volunteers who can champion and lead causes close to their hearts. Something that will benefit Nagpur as a whole.

After all, we firmly believe that Nagpur deserves it's place under the sun and on the Global Map. And we shall overcome everything to get it there.

A sincere thanks from Team - Nagpur First to all who have joined and contributed to this mission so far. We hope to continue attracting more and more talent as we move ahead.

So Ladies and Gentleman, fasten your seat belts. We are about to embark upon a truly fruitful journey, that which will make our city, our Nagpur, a Global destination of reckoning by 2020.
