Hi Rohit, When we work for Sanskaari, we keep our work, our goal above everything else. So of course our focus stays on the fact that work does get done. Even any project head or the President faces the brunt when they take up some responsibility and the work does not get done in time.
Here I would say that nobody was wrong but the situation itself led to the current scenario. I don't think anyone doubts your intention to work. And nobody has lost faith in you. A President of an organization saying sorry to you so many times shows what he feels. But at the same time no one else was also wrong on their intentions. All Leenaji wanted was that the work gets done as soon as possible. I don't think anything can be said wrong about this too. The work of designing and creating the website has been changing hands for a verrryyy long time now. Finally the end result is that we still do not have a fully functional website. With all due respect to you and your hard work, I feel if anyone out of concern tries to complete the task on their end then you should rather be appreciative of that effort and coordinate with that person to get the task completed as quickly as possible. I understand what you are feeling but believe me Sanskaari still remains the same platform for you to work for yourself and for your nation. Now its your call whether to let such an issue to affect this relationship or move ahead bravely, not letting this small misunderstanding affect you and the Great Causes that you want to work for. Such issues do come up time to time for all of us but we are here at Sanskaari with bigger purposes. Rest is your wish.
