Aaina Dekho & Life Changing Learnings - Kamlesh

"The theory of interconnectedness enabled a constant triggering of questions towards the whole life-span of mine, which I have lived so far. But soon it dawned upon me that I acting more consciously than ever before would be a far better choice rather than being in guilt about what I have done so far.
"When I found that my lungs have got infections due to the ever-worsening AQI of Delhi-NCR last year, I decided to work more rigorously towards environmental awareness through creating more such spaces like 𝐀𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐃𝐞𝐤𝐡𝐨 where they can understand the power of interconnectedness and act more consciously while choosing anything in their lives.
"Fortunately, due to lockdown, I moved to my native village and the recovery of lungs have been so rapid that now I can say I have got my 20 years back out of the 30 which I lost by living in Delhi in just 3 years. This year I have taken a pledge for using least chemicals and products made up of plastic, along with living a least waste-producing life; which is much more feasible here than Delhi."
"One question I have for you is 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝?" says Kamlesh, who has been part of both the editions of Aaina Dekho.

What it means to connect with the 'self'!

Humans have bodies. During the century technology has been distancing us from our bodies. We have been losing our ability to pay attention to what we smell and taste. Instead, we are absorbed in our smartphones and computers. We are more interested in what is happening in cyberspace than in what is happening down the street. It is easier than ever to talk to my cousin in Switzerland, but it is harder to talk to my husband over breakfast because he constantly looks at his smartphone instead of at me. In the past, humans could not afford such carelessness. Ancient foragers were always alert and attentive. Wandering in the forest in search of mushrooms, they watched the ground for any telltale bulge. They listened to the slightest movement in the grass to learn whether a snake might be lurking there. When they found an edible mushroom, they ate it with the utmost attention to distinguish it from its poisonous cousins. Members of today's affluent societies don't need such keen

My Experiment With Gratitude

We live in a world where everyone is chasing some or the other thing in life. In this journey of moving from point A to B we act upon our emotions, needs, greed, aspirations and a lot of other things, in consequence, we produce joy, happiness, stress, sorrow, pressure, anger, peace, blame, gratitude and so on. When I was reading Vivekananda a few years ago, he mentioned somewhere in one of his speeches that instead of playing blame games we can take a pause and look inside to find the source of everything going out from us. This thought becomes dear to me when I was crossing boundaries and meeting people for personal development of mine by listening to their stories. Two years ago during a residential program, I have realized the power of gratitude, how it can create magic in the world we are dealing with!                       Since one and a half year, I am practising exercises of gratitude to which I become familiar while walking on the streets, reading books and having fo

The Age Old Struggle with English

The relationship of government schools with teaching the language English is a common narrative. Children in our partner schools find the language a source of discomfort and non-identification. In a dialogue with the Principal, he shares, “I would honestly say that we are not able to give necessary importance to students learning English. We, also, do not expect them to. But, now, we believe that our children have no limits and can learn anything they wish to.”  We find this as a good time to partner teachers and children to make the surroundings a TLM. Children can be seen having fun labelling the tree, doors, chairs and other things around them in both languages (English and Hindi). Most of the older children, being at a concrete operational stage of cognitive development, are more likely to grasp from concrete knowledge-building experiences from their immediate environment. Most children from class 3rd to 5th remember the names of things around them in English.
