Motivation

I am a student
I am no extra-ordinary visionary
I am just a proud citizen of my nation
I care for my loved ones
I don't hold a grudge against anyone
I believe in logical resolution of issues
I want no war, but peace
I am the voice of the next generation
I am what is common to both India and Pakistan

Diary Campaign

Ummeed-e-Milaap is a step in the direction of uniting the rationale of people of both the countries. A part of this initiative is the Indo- Pak Diary Campaign.
“A diary that will be passing hands to strengthen the cord that should never have been weakened.”

Mumbai Lahore Karachi
Over 30 Colleges
An Indian leg and a Pakistani leg: Aimed at influencing young citizens for the cause and inviting ideas that have the potential to be the future of the Indo- Pak Peace Process.

Best 20 comments from each college will be pasted on the diary and will also be put up on our facebook page Ummeed-e-Milaap.

Both the Diaries and the best comments from the website would be combined to form the Ummeed-e-Milaap diary, which will be a collection of the best thoughts, the campaign could gather and will be unveiled to the public in India on 6th January in Techfest, IIT Bombay and in Pakistan on 20th in LUMS Psifi, Lahore
