Art Arattai Arpattam – A prelude

Now, I need to tell you all about this. I had been busy, quite busy over the weekend. And I am really very happy at the way things turned out for me. A big satisfying smile seems to be my USP, past two days.

Two important reasons, which I need to share with you – otherwise, my head will burst !!! 😉 You know, I never keep secrets from you !!! 😉

– I have been invited to cover a Children’s Festival, in my blog. I am just flying over the clouds !!!

– Second, I am selling home-baked cakes, on order. And the response has been very good and I am jumping with joy.

And it all began about 10 days back, when I got one impressive comment asking me whether I would be interested in blogging about an event. Intrigued I was, immediately called to satisfy the curious cat in me.

While I was greatly impressed with this Non Profit Organisation – NalandaWay, asking me to cover their event, which is about to begin by July 16th, they were quite impressed with my blog. Isn’t that great news for the blogger in me ???? LOL !!! Really, it does matter.

A few words on NalandaWay :

NalandaWay works with children from challenging situations from the poorest districts in India, helping them raise their voices and issues through theatre, visual arts, music, dance, radio and films.  Over 5700 disadvantaged children and young people in the states of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Bihar and Jammu & Kashmir in India are involved in their projects.  Their intervention have helped the children learn creativity, life skills and self-confidence to create the lives that they truly want to create.

So, when they called me and other Chennai bloggers to a meeting, I was quite happy to go and meet with these people, who made a difference in the lives of so many young boys and girls. Such dedicated work towards a social cause, certainly deserves an applause from me !!!!

I am certainly proud and happy to be a part of this initiative. 🙂

The Children’s Festival of Dance, Drama, Music and Film is named Art, Arattai, Aarpattam !!!!
