Gift a smile : Aham Bhumika

I don't remember how and when I got in touch with Aham Bhumika, all I remember is falling in love with its name.  Unique in its own sense, the name in itself stands for what it is trying to convey. When translated it means important role and that is what it wants all of us to play in this society by giving back to it what we have gathered till now in this beautiful journey called life.

Each and every creation of theirs is dipped in love and it reflects joy in every inch of it. Joy of living, joy of loving and joy of laughing. And that is what makes each one of their creation so special.  The colours, the patterns, the motifs... it all makes every piece look like a masterpiece.
Now tell me who wouldn't want one of these pieces to adorn their homes?








Lovely, aren't they? Each one reflecting the beauty of having passed through a child's hand and painted vividly with the innocent imagination of a child. What I loved the most about each piece is they stand for something so wonderful - Rainbow of life. With their bright hues splashing across one cannot help notice them and compare them to the beauty of a rainbow that brightens up even a dark sky.

Sharing more details about them, they are a rural pre-school of 40 children near Borad ( approximately 17 kms from Bhopal). These children are mostly from the various labour class families that stay in the village working as daily wage labourers or in brick kiln. They are illiterate but Aham Bhumika strives to enlighten their future. And in a way play an Aham Bhumika in their lives. With their play way method they accommodate their children and attempt at bringing better opportunities to them. It takes them Rs. 14000/- a month to keep the school running and functional.

We all always think of doing something for the society but don't know how and where to begin from. This is a place where we have a chance to be the Nimit, a divine instrument in ensuring Aham Bhumika continues to play the pivotal role it does in our society.

Book Review: Desiccated Land by David Lepeska

  ISBN: 978-9395481205  Genre: Non-fiction Publisher: Vishwakarma Publications  Bringing together his experiences as a journalist and a keen observer, David Lepeska writes a raw and gut-wrenching book on Kashmir. Part memoir, part travelogue, and part reportage, Desiccated Land is a page-turner.  The book starts by tracing the history of the region along with his own history, as a student who was dimly aware of the history of Kashmir and the turmoil it has been causing for centuries between India and Pakistan. Lepenska takes us to Nilamata Purana ( likely written in the 7th century ) which tells us the story leading to the birth of this region. He also shares an alternate possibility of the word being derived from a lake ‘Mira’ named after Vedic Sage Kashyapa.  His first visit to Kashmir closely followed by his second (and much longer) visit as a journalist working for the Kashmir Observer after the 9/11 attacks, make for an interesting read. Lepeska had questions, a lot of them. An

Louella is a Christian, Binaifer, a Parsi and Shalini, a Hindu. The novel’s main plotline surrounds Shalini who has fallen for an impetuous student activist, Bhagu.
