loving, caring, creating and adventuring
loving, since there is no relationship !
caring since there is strong belief in non-violence in thought mind body &spirit
creating since there is a daily verbal interchange !
adventuring since daily life is a big battle, not knowing where the next morsel of food is going to come from, or where the next sip of water from !
each day is a new one on the horizon !

The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible

How true !

A school going child facing the year of her board exams - remember Prabodh, how tense she was when she was deciding whether she could participate in a dance programme and yet do justice to her studies. The book I was reading at that point was "The society of mind" by Marvin Minsky. He speaks of genius as those who can manage what they learn, deal with multi-frames and so on. I remember discussing the concept of Multi-tasking with Aditi, and how life is never a linear sequence of events! I am so glad she took the plunge, extended herself, found joy in learning and working with a team! Is there any wonder that she then danced magically on stage!
