AUTUMN OF 1892.
 8 A    Dear Diary,

        Last  night,  I  was  released  from  prison.  Eight
        autumns  have  passed,  but  they  seem  like  eight
        decades. With trepidation in my heart, I approached
        the house where my little Mini lived. I have treasured
        my  friendship  with  her  for  a  long  time.  Seeing  her
        makes me feel a little bit closer to my own daughter.
        However, I think I was disoriented after seeing her all
        grown  up,  about  to  get  married  that  very  day.  I
        thought she would still be young and carefree, so I
        brought along some raisins for her as usual. It wasn't
        a  trip  for  business;  it  was  a  trip  to  make  me  feel   �व�ा�थय� ने वाद-�ववाद प्र�तयो�गता म� जोर-शोर
                                                                      �
        closer to my daughter back home. The impression of
        those  tiny  hands  I  always  carried  next  to  my  heart,   से भाग �लया और �वषय को रोचक बनाया।
        the last visible evidence of my daughter. But, seeing
        Mini all grown up, and dressed in bridal finery was a        Strong Together: The Power of
        shocker for me.                                             Compassionate Communities
        I  asked  her  gently,  “Are  you  going  to  the  in-laws
        house?”.  My  Mini  had  changed.  She  was  not  the                   Helping Hands
        innocent child I recalled her to be, but more reserved      In Mumbai, where streets hum with sound,
        and  silent.  She  now  understood  what  I  meant  and    A vision of kindness began to grow profound.
        made  no  response.  I  was  engulfed  by  pain  and        With crayons in hand and ideas so bright,
        sadness.  What  if  my  own  daughter  had  changed          We set out to teach, to inspire, to ignite.
        too? Would we still engage our banter like before? I      At the schools walls, colors danced like a song,
        hope  she  knows  I  think  of  her  every  day.  I'm  glad   Turning classrooms to canvases, where young minds belong.
        Mini's  father  generously  offered  me  money  to  visit   From second to third grade, their curious eyes gleamed,
        my remote hometown. I can finally reach out to my       Learning through art, more powerful than it seemed.
        daughter.  Nothing  excites  me  more  than  the           Diagrams in bold, each concept made clear,
        thought of seeing my daughter again.                     A language of colours that brought learning near.
 एकतेची ताकद  Rahamat.                                        Through sketches and strokes, we helped them to see,
                                                                 That knowledge blooms best in shared company.
