People over Pompous

2015, I was in sphere of launching, book reading and meeting people to spread news of She: Ekla Cholo Re based on initial positive responses. Several reviews and review requests confirmed that the story is going to be loved by the section of people and genre that people look upto. 

One evening I received a call from Professor Sanjeevkumar Y asking if I could travel to Mysuru from Vijayapura. I was working in Women’s University as a trainer & counselor. The call was to check if I would like to do an activity like book reading of She: Ekla Cholo Re in a conference that had international and national participants. I would grab any such opportunity to speak and share about the book. Without a blink, I caught the train to Mysuru. 

On reaching the venue, I had a quick talk with Professor Sanjeevkumar Y and a professor who was the organiser of conference. I thanked both for the invite. The organiser was a very kind man who took me to the well decorated large auditorium to check if that was fine for the book launch activity followed by a short reading and discussion. Anyone must fall for the huge auditorium that was decorated for a conference. It must be a 500+ seating capacity. However, I didn’t see more than 30 people who were seated in isolated places. The organiser requested for sometime to gather everyone as parallel sessions are running in different rooms. However, there are nearly 100 people in a seminar hall for a session that was to begin in next few minutes. The organiser asked if the seminar hall was fine to conduct the book activity post already planned session. I looked at him and said, Yes! I would prefer people over nearly empty auditorium. The organiser looked with a smile and didn’t waste a moment to pull me to the seminar hall. I was so happy to see several people in the seminar hall. Though not as appealing as the auditorium, people mattered to me the most. We waited till the on-going session was over and pulled participants attention by introducing me and welcoming me to lead further.

After the book activity, professor Sanjeevkumar Y pulled me across and said, the professor who is an organiser is very happy with me. I waited to know what he meant. The organiser had all smiles as I chose people over the auditorium where one could photoshop to present the kind of attention social media loves. I realised that some quality that was deep rooted because of parents and teachers did make a difference to someone. Each one of us has a leadership area of giftedness which is inspiring and gives hope to each other.

Teachers Training Session at Hindustani Sevadal Bagalkote

Every attempt of imparting training teachers help me to realize the need of learning. The questions, interactions and discussion keeps me hopefully that “The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take it away from you.” B.B. King

Beauty of teachers coming forward to attend irrespective of age to embrace learning reminds me “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.”Wonderful time of learning and relearning with educators of Hindustani Sevadal Trust Bagalkote.

The session was conducted by Santosh Avvannavar and Dr Anil Kumar.

Thanks to Shrinivas Chabbi for the invite. Appreciate his enthusiasm in organising the training for teachers.

All glory to God!
