My Experiences at Anweshana<br />
My journey at Anweshana started in the summer of<br />
2017. Since then it’s been more of a self-learning<br />
process through mistakes. I still remember when I<br />
would discuss with Lalitha as to why a particular child<br />
would choose the same place to work day in and day<br />
out and would take huge time to complete his work.<br />
I used to think about how to stimulate him to<br />
complete his work in a short time.<br />
In June 2018 when the session started, the child<br />
started to unroll his mat at different places in the<br />
environment and would complete his work in a short<br />
time. What made all these changes in him I still<br />
wonder?? I am yet to unravel the mysteries behind<br />
the happenings in the mind of a child.<br />
The recent change that Anweshana has brought into<br />
my life is to love plants and to avoid using plastic. It<br />
is such a positive change that I am enjoying<br />
gardening and composting. Since July 2018, I wake<br />
up early in the morning, open my patio door and<br />
have a glance at all the plants and the blossomed<br />
flowers while having my cup of tea. Enjoying this<br />
serene beauty I feel rejuvenated.<br />
As far as possible I am trying to avoid plastic coming<br />
into my house. The feeling of giving back to mother<br />
Earth in even a small way makes me feel happy and<br />
great.<br />
