Navi Mumbai: Kindness is considered as one of the seven virtues. The nature, in a way also extends its irresistible compassion towards the civilization. Though the term is difficult to comprehend and also the outlook changes with scientific reasoning, the realization is undemanding. 21^st of September is celebrated as International peace Day and the NSS coordinators of SIES-GST started off by sharing a small video to the volunteers on the boomerang of kindness, precisely focusing on the concept of  ‘What goes around, comes around’. All volunteers were expected to do at least 1 random act of kindness in and around the college in a time duration of 30 minutes. Many volunteers expressed their gratitude towards the non-teaching staff by distributing sweets while some of them handed over their water bottles to the laborers on a nearby construction site. The volunteers were delighted to be a part of this brilliant task. Definitely, no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. It comes to you someday, somehow. Further, as creating awareness is an agenda of NSS unit, the volunteers were divided into 10 groups and were assigned different locations in Nerul. The volunteers were asked to take a survey on how many shopkeepers/residents from Nerul have a brief knowledge about the procedure to lodge complaints in the ward office. They were also informed to cross-examine the people about the complaints they face on daily basis. This activity also turned out to be a success for the unit. The day ended by motivating the volunteers to undertake such activities to spread joy, laughter and happiness to make this world a better place to live in. Certainly, Kindness cannot be adopted or approved in circumstances; it is imbibed in a person’s behavior.
