My version of New India

 



21-3-24

This month India is going to vote for a new government. The nation will look forward to the making of a new India, which should be shining as a progressive, liberal and inclusive country.

To vote means exercising your basic right in a democracy. It allows an individual to express his concerns and opinions.

India is a young country. More than 2/3 population is below 40 years. And I fall in that category. Being young, I aspire to be a writer and as a neurodivergent, I wish for a society that is more inclusive in actions than in thoughts.

  Monochrome One day I realised what my child had long  known Between my brows a line had grown Running up into my forehead when I was  tense ... and two little fingers stretched to 'undo' it - I wonder how he had sensed He of all people, I thought would not understand. For I imagined him with an aura of question marks around his head They said he was that way blind - as he would could not read people's mind Left all confused and anxious as he would not know - what a person meant when they frowned or raised a brow. His mind, a black and white world....I thought it lacked some colours bold Felt sorry - and that is where it went wrong - I've realised since.... Range needs to be narrow, for depth to be intense.

Experimenting with Online Classes

  The Online World That day you shared something, and made me reflect... It was time you had your friends too. Clever of you to pass me the hint!  Hence with guidance, I introduced you to the world of online learning,  and I feel it's been rewarding Coz since then, I have watched you converse, sit for long and listen,  I often see you extending your comfort zone and be available at different times than you'd prefer I can sense that you are able to open up your mind there. I hope you make bonds that last long, that recharge you time and again, connections...that enrich your life. By, Anagha Jawalekar It was Akshat's 18th birthday last month. It is unsinkable that he is an adult now, and I have grey hair and wear glasses now. Time flies so fast. It seems like yesterday when we went to Mumbai and Delhi for the training and did all other therapies. He had a different childhood altogether. Nevertheless, we have come a long way. It gives me a sense of achievement when he expresse

Coping Mechanism - By Akshat Rassay

Music through my ears So many harsh things floating in the air they are invisible like music but music is fair They give me stress, at times I fear it varies from mild to somewhat severe but music is there. Music is there to  rescue me from the clutches of anxiety from a bad mood to uplift me, calm me It gives me cheer It gives me hope like chatting with mum like writing things down Music helps me cope. By, Anagha Jawalekar One fine day, when I and Akshat were conversing, he mentioned that music helps him to cope. Although, I know about it very well, I thought why not discuss about it in detail.

We started it in November, left in between and then finished it just a few days
