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.

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.

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.

ये क्यों है कि आँखें मूँदे बस दौड़े जा रहे हैं जब मंज़िल का कुछ भी ना ठिकाना है तो गति थोड़ी धीमी कर ले रे पगले क्योंकि ये सफर तेरी चाल का दिवाना है | ये क्यों है कि किसी के इंतज़ार में तन्हा बैठे हैं जब हर मुसाफिर को एक मोड़ पर बिछड़…
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…
