A session on storytelling ,music and movement with special children

https://youtu.be/G5YQ9ALVXps

This is a storytelling session for children  who are autistic and spastic and downs syndrome affected. 

I got into this activity of storytelling because i was good at it and it was  something meaningful for me to do. I was feeling purposeless. Trying to find something to do. Once i started sharing stories... i understood that it works . Children enjoy it. And i like it. Initially it had  nothing to do with the childrn. it had to do with me. Every time i went to the schools i felt something good had happened. Children laughed, smiled and few moments of the good feel was created.  I was first hesitant if chidlrne would sit through my story .. whether they would like it or not. 

To my surprise , it was well received. It was liked by most of the children. Thye could narrate the sequence also. I was happy. 

But these could mbe made more amd more moments...larger than life ... share stories..share life... 

 At Tata Cancer... Today A storytelling session with children at the pediatric cancer care ward... A hen and her chicks went to meet their nani to celebrate janmasthami... On the way they encounter some obstacles... But as they keep trying... They finally reach to their nanis house..

A big thank you to Chandravadan for for being there and helping me with the music for this session... 💕🌷💞Jai Shree Krishna💕 - on 19-08-22

Me and Menopause!

                                                                              My story: me and menopause!

Is bar birthday  ke candles blow karte hue ek ajeeb si ghabrahat ho rahi thi. umr 50 years .
 mera sar fata ja raha tha aur kano mein se jase dhuan nikal raha ho.
lagta tha jaise kisine  sharir ke under koyla bhar diya ho.
 main samaj gaye thi ki yeh menopause hai. Lagta that ki meri  zindagi ka suraj dub raha hai.
aur main yahan birthday celebrate kar rahi hoon..! mai kisi bhi
 cheez pe concentrate nahi kar sakti thi. aur apne hi vicharon se dar lagta tha.

main kirana kharidne gayi. 

dukandar se poocha kitna hua.. ?
 usne bola 1kg mugh dhal, 250 gm gud, 1 pkt dhaniya powder... rs 75/ aunty. ! 

maine idhar udhar dekha. aunty ! han! mujhe hi bol raha tha! sach pucho to
 mujhe dukandaar pe gussa aya... aunty !!@@. matlab.. chama , safed bal, ... retirement ka dar .
.vahi curtains down vali baat! 

koi mujhe aunty kahta to mujhe low feel hota tha! mujhe lakta tha ki mere
 sapne dekhne ka time beet chka hai. my time is up ! 

iska matlab mera ghar se bahar jana..sabzi khardne ke liye, ya doctor ke
paas bhago BP fluctuate hoye isiliye!  nahi to mandir mein..puja paath ke liye!!!

what!!! yeh meri life nahi ho sakti! shahrukh khan jab senorita
 kehta hai to mera bhi dil dhadakta hai yaar!! mai bhi smart
dikhna chahti hoon! 

mai kuch dhoondh rahi thi! maine itihas ke panne padhna
 shuru kiya.. khastar aurton ke bare mein jinhe hum aaj bhi yaad karte hai.. 

history jo ek boring subject lagta tha ... school years mein.. ab
mujhe attract karne laga. maine 2 kahaniya chuni. ek Irena Sendlers ki.
 jisne  world war 2 mein warsaw ke ghetto se 2,500 jew bacchon ko nazi  soldiers se bachaya .
 yeh kahani mere dil ko chu gayi!  maine ise ek national seminar
 mein present kiya. maza aya . phir maine apna blog khola aur ek
organ donation form sign up kiya. dusri kahani .. dr. anandi joshi ki..
jo india ki first lady doctor hai.. yeh story ek conference mein
storytelling workshop conduct karne ke liye accept hui. yeh conference sydney, australia mein thi .
 main gayi nahi.kyon ki funds nahi the. 

ek baat saaf ho rahi thi ki mera ghar se bahar jana..
 sabzi mandi, doctor aur mandir ke alawa.. man chae manzilon
 ki oor kul agye the. meri zindagi balad chuki thi.  ek utsah, ek ehsaas.
 i love what i do. jee rahi thi isiliye nahi kyon ki main mari
nahi..jee rahi hoon kyon ki ab dil dhadakta hai..
 aur woh bhi shahrukh khan ke bina.!!!

yeh karte karte to ek saal beet ne wala hai. isbar birthday ke candles
bujhakar nahi , jalakar manungi.. isi sooch ke saath ki ane wali
zindagi ek naye ehsaas and naye utsah ke rangon se bhari hogi!! ek
 nai umang , ek naye tarang. kahaniya padhna, kahaniya sunna
 and kahaniya sunana. ab apne vicharon se
 dar nahi lagta.. accha lagta hai !!

Fuzzy logic.. ...fair and lovely cream!!

Fuzzy logic : Fair and Lovely Cream
When i read this caption i wonder..are you implying that lovely are only the fair folks.? And are you telling me that when u become fair..then u will become lovely.?? And that this fairness cream is a passport to the ohhh lala..feeling.
So it means that when i use this cresm i will become fairer and if iam brown or black(due to skin pigmentation) the use of this cream will change my skin to a fairer look
.The ad on the television also confirms this desirability towards fairness.The girl gets a job, the marriage gets arranged..all in a jiffy..that too only after the use of this cream.Are you trying to tell me that this cream can change my skin to a fairer color and therefore my life will change.
Since when has skin colour determined attributes like being skilled, responsible, punctual, a good decision maker,that makes you employable ? Which are considered worthwhile in the process.Similar in the case of marriage. Where fairness determines that all is well and its a yes from the boy looking for a fair bride.
What about compatability,commitment,loyalty as a consideration for a yes from both sides.
Does it mean that all other than fair remain unemployed and unmarried.
To me the label fair and lovely stinks of a racist propoganda.It makes people feel inadequate and not ok with themselves.This is obvious as the sale of this cream is in large numbers.Every Fair and Lovely and Fair and Handsome that is sold to me spells a different story.The consumer feels i need this cream to change my life.I do not accept myself as i am.And if i look fairer Iam likely to be more desireable for the other sex
All of which to me devalues the user,lowers the confidence and capitalizes on thr feeling of inadequacy adovcated through these advertisments.
Instead build confidence of consumers , change attitudes towards self acceptance, and increase self esteem...all an inside matter to be worked upon.
To me fair and lovely is surely unfait and far from lovely..!! Users think before you buy.Value yourelf more than the cream..!!!

A page from my diary💦🌼

🌸⭐A page from my diary :
My school years were traumatic.My self confidence at an all time low.All this was closely linked to my poor performance in academics.I believed that Iam bad because my grades were bad. In college I did the home science course.I further believed that i am a left over.Home science was  closely associated with domestic work like cooking, cleaning and looking after children. I despied my degree even more. I felt now I am certified to do housework. That's my past.
Over the years I worked on myself,faced my fears,pushed myself to do what I want to do. Today , I love what I do.Iam excited to try out my ideas.I story tell, I conduct training programs on confidence building,I use my writing skills and speaking skills.My journey is exciting!!
I decided to learn from my past not regret it. Change thought,change life. !!🌸⭐
