Dhanush DIY for Ramayan Play for Children

While the CORONA Loackdown is on , The Serial Ramayana makes a mark in every person , even the children's here in India. The realization of the fact is that they have already seen Ramayana several Times on TV but not as satisfactory as they are seeing it now on Doordarshan. May be the Simplicity of the 1988 Ramayana by Ramanad Sagar is best for them to Understand . The Kids insisted to create Ramayana scene , And I had try it out with creating 5 Bows and 20 Arrows with the help of Bamboos , Jute thread and Cardboard Papers from the Amazon Purchased items package materials. Take a Look at the Video Below  on How its done ..... The Making Of Ramayana Bows and Arrows from Bamboo (Video)

I still love what I do

Quiting the best of opportunities in the Corporate world, Switching places, culture and people from the Urban to the Rural space, Leaving behind the 8 to 10 hours of regular office time, the weekends, the Mumbai Local and the experience there in, traveling within limits, the Chaos and hoosh hash rush hours at the Mankhurd and Kurla stations, and many such flavors of daily life in Mumbai for the last 6 years are unforgettable. Now after the establishment of TechYog.Com , things were on the other side of Moon. As the Monsoons started, situations like the Cyclonic warnings by the All India Radio. Heavy Rainfall , danger of the upcoming Flood and of course the Fresh green washed up surroundings. Now as to make a life, make a desire come true, to make it happen even though there are much more sceptisism and circumstances unavoidable , I still love what I do.
