The Deluge and thereafter

A saurday morning and a feeble sun is out ..

There could not have been a more welcome sight to a people rained down and deluged over the past 4 days ...

The Floods arrived and how.

Water levels breached, homes inundated, people displaced , rivers changing course in spate , dams not opened in decades set free.

The floods also opened gates of compassion as people got to-gether to support one-another to rise up from the what the floods had brought and  taken.

If nature could break free, so could mankind  from limited definitions of mine and theirs .

If only we remembered...
The lessons of the Flood ...

Independence and freedom

Independence day with a group of  young women , this year..
A group task for them to explore what independence and freedom meant to them through a poster .
Young hands and minds got to work creating ..
And they had quite to few things to say.

As each of them , presented their idea on freedonm , independenance and Living in Free India  , felt heartened to be a part of their sharing.Bold colours, vivid words , powerful ideas and  strong voices that spoke passionately .

Wished for each of them , exciting lives ahead where they tested boundaries, tasted freedom and exercised choice in every which way possible !
