The Orange Room is a calming, genuine, and relevant space. Great organizing! Great team work!

All this time I was in a dilemma, thinking about who is a good listener, the one who just listens or the one who gives solutions. And before attending the session I used to think I was a good listener. Post this session I realized that listening isn’t about questioning details, but just listening to the person wholly without judgements. Thank you, it was nice meeting you all!

Personally, I feel privileged that I’ve learned how to cope with myself, but many people around me don’t have those skills or maybe they haven’t had the chance to develop them yet. I believe it’s really important for everyone to learn ways to deal with these things, not just for ourselves but also for others. The people we see every day, and even those we don’t know, might be going through something we’re unaware of. Maybe one day, we’ll be able to help them and even help ourselves in the process. I’m truly grateful for this Session, and I really had a good time.

Honestly this was a very impactful session for me. I’m very much passionate about mental health and I usually follow a lot of content related to it. I have also struggled a lot mentally over the years. I genuinely appreciate the opportunity I had to have attended the session. I speak on behalf of all of us. This session left a huge impact on all of us, especially the ribbon activity. It was very well thought of and I think they carried the session really well. It’s like many of these things were really relatable to all of us in an emotional context. It was very real and very raw. Definitely it was unfiltered. I resonated with a lot of things they conveyed in the session. Thank you!

I attended all three sessions, and each one was more engaging and impactful than the last. The content delivered was highly relevant, practical, and meaningful. These sessions provided valuable insights that are rarely addressed in regular academic settings and encouraged thoughtful reflection on mental well-being. I sincerely hope that more such sessions are conducted in the future, as they would greatly benefit students.

I came across the Google Form in my class WhatsApp group and got curious because we’ve never really had a session like this in our college. Most of our sessions are usually very technical, and we’re kind of used to thinking only in that way. So when I saw the form, I signed up along with my friends just for fun, thinking it might be something like yoga or a light session. We came in without any expectations, but once the session started, I was genuinely surprised. I really liked how well you interacted with everyone and made the session so engaging. Even though the hall was full, you managed to involve students from all sections, and that was honestly amazing. It’s something we can really look up to. Today’s session felt even more special because the group was smaller and made up of people who genuinely wanted to be there. It felt like a safe space, and people like me actually got a chance to open up, reflect, and look at our feelings from a completely different perspective. I may have thought about these things before, but I never really took the time to sit with those feelings and understand them. Thank you so much for such an amazing session and for giving us this opportunity. Great job to the entire team, and I really hope you’ll come back again!

Sessions like these ( at The Orange Room ) always give me instant gratification! I will be back!!

“Life is what you are happy getting up for!” is my personal motto. The goal is to find exactly what makes you wake up each day looking forward to what you will experience and do. For this, Let’s Live is a door opener. Many young people go through life feeling stressed, lost, or alone without ever saying it out loud. Creating safe spaces where they can talk openly can literally change  or even save a life.

Sherin Noordheen, a 2017 kanthari graduate and founder of Let’s Live, has turned that idea into action by offering youth-focused programs that bring hope, support, and a sense that “you are not alone.” The work Let’s Live does – especially around suicide prevention and mental health awareness – is impactful and is helping build a culture where asking for help is seen as a sign of strength, not weakness.

“Growing up, I often wished for just one thing – a person who would listen without judgment, or a space where my worries could rest without fear. Life might have felt a little lighter with such a refuge. So when I first learned about The Orange Room, it struck me instantly: this is what the world needs. A space where voices are heard, feelings are held, and no one has to carry their burdens alone.”

“Wishing you all the very best in this initiative. I would always be delighted to support you in such upcoming CSR activities.”

“Such a beautiful space, to spend time at, to have beautiful conversation and soulful moments. Awesome team with a heartfelt purpose”

“Wishing all the best for Let’s Live and the team. Proud to be a partner of CSR
activity and looking forward for more collaboration”

“What do I say about The Orange Room,I have known Sherin and the work she does from Kanthari days, the first inauguration, the beautiful events you brought to the Reading Room and now we are here. Your passion and enthusiasm for the cause is the fire that keeps many lives going. I hope that this new start is a start to much bigger and joyful things and I am extremely grateful to be allowed to be a small part of your amazing journey.”

“The Orange Room has made us realize that each one of us matters and our minds matter. Best wishes to Ms Sherin and The Orange Room team”.

” Today we witnessed the opening of The Orange Room, addressing anxiety, loneliness, and depression among children and adolescents. Best wishes to this initiative and Ms Sherin behind it, all success. “

“Access to someone who will hear you without judging you is one among the basic human needs. I hope that this initiative will bring positive changes to the people around”
