Chess Classes and Chaos at Gurapanpalya ! :)

After a long time on last sunday I visited the chess classes at Gurapanpalya. Was I pleasantly surprised! Almost all the kids there now play chess. And those who were not playing very pleasantly enjoying themselves.

And so there was a sharp contrast. On two tables were the fully focussed chess players. Rekha( an internationally ranked chess player ) and the children concentrating hard on their game. Rekha has promised that she will chalk out a plan for the future of these young budding chess players.! And all around were children happily enjoying themselves. Here are few of the snaps that we took at the class. Check out this video that I managed to capture -

What I liked about this video is the careless abandon with which the children were playing and thoroughly enjoying themselves. !

Rendezvous@Hema 'n' Mahesh's Home

25th Nov., 2007

The effects of the arduous journey we undertook to reach hema 'n' mahesh's beautiful home seemingly vanished into thin air, the very moment we met them!
What wonderful people...! I was meeting them for the first time...though I never felt so..not even remotely. Raghav, Veena, myself and Brewin, all engrossed in insightful discussions over tea,were bursting out with stomach-crunching jokes every now and then. We discussed about everything ...from KRUTI's new project to "why Men are from Mars and Women from Venus?"
At one point of time it seemed as though the table was getting flooded with 'alma-matter' oozing out of every brain!
Hema and Mahesh gave some really insightful ideas and perspectives to our new dream project of making a thought-provoking film for KRUTI. I sincerely wish they stay by our side...with every little step we take towards realising our project.
