What does MFM Faridabad Wish to achieve?

We do these high energy 'jams' which aim to:

Create an environment/atmosphere/of positivity through music and enable small scale 'community gatherings'
So that people participate and express themselves (and their creative energies) and forget their problems, worries for a while and live in the moment
To bring people together, create a platform for their interaction and intermingling..people find new friends, a new group to belong to
Articulate and stand for issues such as racial discrimation, environment and ecology, human rights, animal rights and make people think and reflect about the way they are living their lives

27th July, Rock On

Its been over a month now that we've been forging ahead keeping the JAM torch alight. Slowly but steadily the spirit is reaching hearts around. People join us and have fun but then they forget. Anyways a few stay like our pyara little HAIDER, which reminds me of the song "Imagine" by John Lennon that says "They may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope some day they'll join us and the world will live as one." So we move on. Remember Jyotsna, the Junooni who performed in the G.P.W. on 27th March, it was the start of the JAM dream(check out the first post which is dedicated to the same JAM cum SHOW). She was home during the college vacation and she is back and its great to hear one of the voices that heralded this Jam again. Only one voice that of Suraj Bhaiya is missing and I hope he'll visit us some day and share his voice again.
Gaurav Anand joined this time. All the regulars were present namely Nidhi, Haider, G.G., Manav, Ravish, Tarun. The list is growing every week. And we had a special guest, my dear Gopal Uncle with his wife and son, Vaibhav. Gopal uncle is a special person who has been such a huge support for me. I was really looking forward to his visit to the JAM.
My shyness and hesitation is disappearing now and I'm getting more and more comfortable with not just music but, the interactions with the crowd. The jam was full of energy and positive vibes. We sang "Hare Ram, Hare Krishna". This song has a nice, soothing effect on hearts and souls and it just initiates participation at once from the people around. The jam "Rocks On".

Music For Meaning Rocks!!!!!!
Hey Friends, Ram Ram.
It feels great seeing such kind of cause in our vicinity.
We all are too very busy in our lives.Everybody sees anti-social activities going around but no one bothers about being a helping hand towards its purification.
This step taken is commendable.Only music can help us in creating an environment free from waste.And by this waste i doesn't mean about physical waste.It refers to the waste which is in our minds.
Hey Sulabh!!
U have a heart of gold.We all really appreciate your dedication towards music and most importantly your dedication towards helping us breathe in a clean society via music.
Hope everybody understands this movement.
I feel really good being a part of this cause.
I have a request to all the people around that "Help Yourself" .
If you don't want to do it for others, Just Do It For Yourself.
Keep the good work up.
MFM Rocks.
