21st June, 2020, as it was a Father’d Day, International Yoga Day, World Music Day and Solar Eclipse day. We have also organised around 100+ meet ups as A Unity Walk for helping Small Business in Refocus, Rebuild and Renew or we can say Rising again… a concept and guidance by @TPattanaik @AmbrishVarshney @NareshDarji @deepakjhic .
My heartiest thanks to @Shrut19 by whom i got inspired to host this meet up. She always helps me. She guided me well by which i hosted this meet up successfully.
In Mumbai, still the lock down is live with some release in restrictions of Shop opening. After lock down of nearly 3 months all small businesses are reopening but people might be unaware of it. So we decided to edit the maps.During meet up we have strictly followed the safety guidelines issues by Government of India i.e. wearing mask and keeping social distancing.
I had choose Shantivan, Borivali - East, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India as my near by area. I started the meet up around 12:00 Hrs. Due to lock down restrictions the it was behind the schedule by 1 Hr.
By visiting one by one shop, i asked shopkeepers about the new timing, reopen status, new phone numbers, delivery service, whats app ordering service etc and also made them aware about the Unity Walk program. They happily gave me full information about their businesses. Like wise i have made following edits during Unity Walk.
- Places Reopen: 03 No.
- Edits: 12 Nos.(Phone nos and Hours)
- Add new places: 03 Nos.
- Facts Checks: 43 Nos.
- List: 01 No. (List of Chemist in Shantivan, Borivali (E), Mumbai)
- Reviews: 14 Nos.
- Add Photos: 18 Nos.

This was my first meet up as a Host. Its quite a very good experience and nice feeling to help small businesses. I did, not only map edits for small Businesses but also bought something from each and every one as small helping hand towards them. I saw a smile and hope on their faces while doing this meet up. I made aware them about the Google maps which is very useful for their small businesses.
I want to thank everyone who helped me in this meet up. Thank you to you too for reading this post and supporting me .
At last i just want to write a quote by Zig Ziglar that, “You Never Know When Your Helping Hand Will Change Another Person’s Entire Life…”
That why its best to Keep Helping and Keep Contributing…
Thank you…
Stay Safe… Stay Happy…
