On December 6th Bobby Chakraborty,a reputed actor/activist/teacher of method acting from Kolkata,completed the series of 16 anti addiction campaigns(AAC),since November,at South Point High School,with his AAC no. 449 globally. This was also his 40th session in this school since 2014.
With the present scenario of a heavy influx of the use of smartphones in a child, as young as a kindergartener, the danger of the dark side of the internet is looming large to affect a young impressionable mind. The easily available modes of addiction of smoking and alcoholism, right in their home front is normalizing these vices for a child,much younger than before in the past 10 years. A prevention is imminent, an awareness is extremely necessary, as early as possible.
This is where Bobby’s globally acclaimed, free of cost, preventive awareness program titled ‘I AM THE KING MY MY MIND’,against all sorts of addiction and harmful social trends among the youth, becomes extremely effective to guide a child towards a healthy body and mind.
The socially responsible Principal Rupa Sanyal Bhattacharjee,the Coordinator Brita Sarkar, along with their efficient team, organised everything to perfection with Bobby.
The eager audience to this thought provoking session were students from 7th grade, who we feel were the perfect recipients of these important life lessons from Bobby.
The official photographer who documented this magical session was soldier Megh Mondal,assisted by soldier Darsh Singh.
Interesting social experiments were conducted by Bobby through demonstrations and play acts, with the help of soldiers Ishan and Darsh.
The most important titles of ‘The 1st soldier’ went to Nyneishia Ghosh and ‘The Trendsetter’ went to soldier Saptorshi Sen, who was also one of the winners of the surprise contest at the end ,which had soldiers Soha Zaman and Tungesh Manna as the other two winners, who along with Megh were given special prizes, customised HCF(Health-Career-Family) t-shirts and Community Service Certificates by Bobby.
Bobby won the hearts of his young soldiers with his heartwarming, emotional and witty delivery, becoming the Pied Piper of sorts, hypnotizing them with his spell of brightness and positivity. Mere strangers before the session started, became the biggest fans of their beloved ‘Bobby Dada’ within just 2 hours.
Everyone present in the auditorium shouted out the mantra of a soldier “I am the king of my mind “ as loud as ever, to conclude this mind bending,memorable session and his series of AAC at South Point High School for 2024 .
