The National Social Sevice (NSS) unit of Narsee Monjee College of Commerce and Economics organised Aashayein, an event for the visually challenged to showcase their talents, on the eve of Ambedkar Jayanti.
Aashayein, which is in its 4th year saw participation from NGOs across Mumbai.
Participants from these organisations took part in events such as dancing, singing, open mic, playing instruments and beat boxing.
Highlights included the rendition of the bongo player, which "transported the audience to a starry night" and the beautiful rendition of the classic Hindi song, 'Lag Jaa Gale'.
There were about 50 performances in total.

Both participants and audience members enjoyed themselves. As one of Narsee Monjee College’s visually impaired alumni said, "It makes me feel so proud when I say ‘I am an ex-NMite’. I had so much of fun today and I can’t express in words”.
As a member of the NSS unit, Manasvi, said, “Aashayein is not only an event but also a feeling that is imbibed in the heart of every NSS member.”
