3. HOW IT STARTED?

We (Pareen initially, and later the other members) discovered that these small things that we do are the ones that really makes us happy and that memory is ever lasting.

From the first year of our college we were inclined towards finding pleasure out of Nature or should I say ‘Mother Nature’ so we thought of finding pleasure out of visits to the places close to nature and revive our souls. We had done two such visits, Khadavli & Kolad. The experience was mind blowing.

Then came the idea of organising such visits more frequently. So, The Nature Club!!! The main idea was to work for the benefits of our environment.

When we first met for nature club, Pareen was a bit unsatisfied. Yes, it would have been great to work for our environment. But not only he, all of us wanted something broader.

Then came the idea of “Against Nature Club”.

What does “Against Nature Club” mean?

The word nature used here doesn’t mean ‘mother nature’. It is used to denote Human Nature. It can be read as, “Against Human Nature Club”.

At the core, human nature is ‘Selfish’. Everyone agrees to that. So, we are against that ‘selfishness’. So the name – “Against Nature Club”.

What do we plan to do?

Anything and everything that is NOT for “our own benefit”. This may include giving away crackers to poor children, to clean the roads, to show movies to poor kids, to teaching them, to stop usage of plastic in canteen, and yes, larger projects like ‘going to Vidarbha’ to find a solution for the farmers’ problems. You can add anything you like to the list.
