Counting the Blessings

It's been a while but all these new posts makes me all teary-eyed :)

Sohini, we miss u painfully and want u back here asap.
Charishma-Shaila, what a surprise!
David, we are are thrilled to have you be a part of us.
Chip, the DVD of the show is truly incredible - esp.ly since I didn't get to watch the whole show live.
Himi, it's been way too long since I've heard u sing - we must remedy that.
Angela, u belong to that pride too - we all do. Like lions!
Pusha, u embody the spirit of AK as a non-performer this season and I hope everyone reads what you wrote.
Jhilmil, Switzerland is seeing much more of you lately than we are. But have a blast and come back faaaast.
Sujon, thank god for the sessions CD since I never tire of hearing Nobi Nadia's golden voice - live or recorded!
Naina, words fail me. I will never know how u do all that u do and do AK and blogs and a thousand other things at the same time...

Yes, it's tough to pull stuff off when all of us are volunteers, have different jobs, live in different cities, states and countries.
Sometimes it's a struggle with time, commitments, words...

But still we do it.

And something somehow makes it all worth the while no matter how many things go wrong.

There are so many wonderful ways in which AK brings people together, bridges gaps and builds hope.
These posts are mere testimony to some.
