Thank you, Medica!

From April 2019, Mid Day Meal program has been started at Apna school, SMTA, Jakhadhar. Radha, Himanshu and Sri Chain Singh ji, work as a team and serve the meals in a large covered room. Children are taught to sit down together, say "grace" (Bhojan Mantra) and then eat the food without wasting. Older children, wash their utensils (as they do at home) and younger children are helped by others. Most children are taking second helping! Here are some pictures:




SMTA sincerely thanks
Medica Superspecialty Hospital, Kolkata for this opportunity to serve our children better!

Nani Teri Morni Ko

Sachin visited SMTA school from 22 - 26 April 2019. Himanshu too was there and helping with Mid day meal program. Thanks to Medica (Kolkata), we are offering mid day meal to our students, 3 days a week for the first month- which will soon be made an everyday feature. Radha is taking care of this important component, with help from Himanshu and others.

But before you have bellyful of Khichri, why not work up an appetite by hopping around to the tune of "Nani Teri Morni to chor le gaye"? (below).


The children were also shown a Charlie Chaplin short movie- The Kid. The story was discussed at the outset, difficult English words were explained and then, the comedy was let loose on the children... 

Later, the kids kept dancing to "Nani teri morni"..

We are trying to create a fun atmosphere where academic subjects can be covered in an easy ambiance.

First Comm WS V2


We sat for three days (29,30,31 March). Lekhraj, the youngest- Rakesh from Faizabad, Bhanu from Almora, Subhash from Delhi, Mohit from Dehradun and Pintu Kumar from Jaipur. I too stopped everything else and joined the group. Dhaneshwari ji and Himanshu very ably supported us by providing us tea and meals at right time and quietly.

We followed this schedule:
7 to 8.45 am
10-11.30 am
12-1.45 pm
3-4.30 pm
5.30-7 pm
7-8 pm (open discussion)
9 pm lights off.

Most of these sessions followed a pattern: 30 minutes sitting on ground- 5 minutes walking meditation in the hall itself- 20 minutes siting in chair - 5 minutes walking- 30 minutes sitting on the ground...

On day two, the group volunteered to clean the lawn.

In the evening when it was nice and cool outside, the group did some communication exercises, like role play etc.

At the end, on day 4, four of us trekked to Bhadraj temple (map link).

My observation is- My body at the end of three days felt a little numb but at peace! I did not have the obsessive urge to check "news"! Mind had fallen in a calm routine. But I was able to think, act and do everything Life demanded of myself. It was like a "holiday", a "break" away from home and work - but without traveling and spending money!
