Kruti - A dream for you and Me

Readers you might be wondering , why I have put the name of our blog on the post . But this name is not the name of our blog. This the name of the school that want to create .


Time : Sunday morning

Venue : Cubbon Park

Participants : Kruti Core Team - Vilas, Sameer, Nilotpala, Brewin, Rekha, Raghav, Veena.

Absentees - Hema, Mahesh, Bijesh, My dad ?


:)


The alarm rings at 5.45 at my bedside and I as usual , sub conciously put it off, and go back to sleep . 6.15 - the bedside phone rings again. I try to put the alarm off- This time it just wouldnt be put off . Uff, I reach out to the mobile phone to see whats wrong. And to my surprise somebody was calling ! I take the phone and I hear Rekha's voice on the line - Shall I come down - Are you guys leaving now ? .


Gosh ! Then I remember I had to leave by 6.15 - to start the meeting by 7 - so that people could leave at 9 and attend to their other appointments at 9.30 ! :)


Raghav and me got ready at jet speed , and we were out of the house by another 10 mins. We picked up all the other members of the team and reached Cubbon park around 7.15 .


First of all we created the context of the meeting today - Which is creating long term members with Kruti ( This had been missing for some time in the earlier projects of Kruti ) .
There were parts of the group that did not know each other , yet within minutes we were talking to each other as if we were the best of buddies .

Comfort level set in, we got down to business. We discussed about the school project and decided on the following action areas on which to work on :

1. Find the physical space for the school - The venue should be full of trees and natural beauty - Action on everybody

2. Add the wiki to our mykruti.com - Action on Brewin, Raghav

3. Register Kruti - Action on Vilas, Veena.

4. Create the design for the Kruti School - Action on Sameer.

5. Solar Energy plan for the School - Action on Nilotpala

6. Visit similar projects ( Auroville, Shantiniketan , Nrityagram etc ).

The discussion on all the above points happened so naturally and with so much ease , that it looks like that doing the project itself is going to be full of ease and grace and will happen so very easily ! :)

Looking forward for the next meet !
