Bhoomi Utsav 2022
A celebration of simplicity with the community, on October 2, 2022. A special kind of celebration indeed, celebrating simple joys of life that we may otherwise take for granted. Be it playing with natural colours we made, or clay, enjoying a concert with plants and being in their presence, exploring treasures of nature, seeing Gandhiji’s…
Is water simple?
The idea of simplification is idealised to an extent where we often tend to simplify what is purely complex. Take emotions: we think there is logic to it. The logic being simple and linear, we tend to think emotions follow the same rule too. Emotions are associative to a large extent. But how does simplicity…
How asking for a lift could be a great exercise in seeking help
With these thoughts, I settle down into another day at Bhoomi with a fulfilling smile and a lot of gratitude for the person who helped me reach in time for class. It feels good.

Waste Not!
I was 15 years old when my friend told me “Choo, please promise me one thing. You will never throw any waste on the ground”. I remember feeling annoyed. What did he think of me?! Of course I wasn’t littering or throwing things on the ground. But anyway I went ahead and made that promise…
Wells Talk to Us, Taps Don’t
In a small town called Vijaywara in Karnataka, farmers are using untreated wastewater and fecal sludge to grow mulberry leaves. On these leaves, silkworms thrive producing silk yarn, which is then woven into beautiful handloom silk sarees by the local weavers. Can there be a more productive use of city sewage water, which is a…
