Go Skateboarding Day 2015
CELEBRATE ‘GO SKATEBOARDING DAY’WITH HOLYSTOKED IN BAGALORE
HolyStoked, the Bangalore based skateboarding collective is once again getting the skateboarding community together for the Go Skateboarding day. The 4th edition of HolyStoked’s initiative promises to be bigger and better.
Having started off as a collective of friends, HolyStoked has grown to include people of all age groups and demographics. This year, HolyStoked wants to bring the sport to mainstream Indian culture while still maintaining its alterative vibe. Holystoked is in talks with leading brands to collaborate on this year’s event.
HolyStoked believes that mainstream exposure is necessary for the sport to grow into the lifestyle that it universally is. Skateboarding is a sport like no other. The sport thrives on camaraderie amongst skaters. The Indian community is growing at a pace like never before. What started off with about 10 people in Bangalore has now grown far and wide with skate parks coming up in different parts of the Country including places like Kovalam and Ranchi to name a few.
Holystoked has also tried to reach out to the community at large. The organization encourages kids from BPL families to attend School by using skateboarding as an incentive. HolyStoked also reaches out to skateboarders in different cities by helping them build skate parks. Holysoked had the privilege of building India’s first free for all skatepark in association with Levis India with about 50 skateboarders from across the World joining them to help build it.
The agenda for the event:
Sunday, 21st June 2015
• 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM: Freedom Park
Activities:
o The DIY Booth: Skateboarders are given plain surfaces to showcase their graffiti skills
o The Highest Off the Wall Contest: This is the skateboarding Contest where participants have to take off from the Kicker Ramp.
o The HolyStoked Photo Contest: A competition where participants have to upload skateboarding photos from Freedom Park with the hash tag, “HolystokedGSD2015”. The Picture with the maximum likes wins goodies from Holystoked
5:00 PM – 6:00 PM: Skate-A-Thon, at Cubbon Park
o Fun and interactive activities at Cubbon Park to help expose the General Public to the nuances of Skateboarding including a sprint, a group run and skateboarders showcasing various tricks
6:00 PM onwards at The Vivekananda Metro Station, Old Madras Road.
The activities include:

Carnatic Music: A voyage of sound and silence
For as long as I can remember!", says Abhishek, when asked since when he has been singing. Same answer from Anantha R Krishnan on since when he has been playing Mridangam. And both of them have always been up for challenges. So in June 2015, they team up to bring us an evening of pure melody and pure sound. In perfect harmony. It will be a first and an absolute pleasure to hear Abhishek with just the Tanpura and Mridangam. It will be a first for the duo to bring some creative rhythms into play, with Abhishek also picking up the Khanjira.
"Expect a lot of Carnatic music. That will be the theme", says Abhishek.

My Child & I
We had a super Summer and our little family is now back on track with the school year commencing!
This post has been in the making for quite awhile. Quite a few friends asked recently "So What's New(s) with the Boys", thought I should go ahead and publish this right away!
**********************************************************************************
The boys take a van to-fro school. Once, I wait outside after-school.
Second-born (Seeing me at the school gate) : " Have you also joined the school?"
Mom: "Nope! I am here to see your class teacher. You want to come along to see her?"
Second-born : "Why? I saw her all day - So, you go and see her!"
********************************************************************************
First-born after finishing his school-work heads out to play while Second-Born & Mom are still revising Grammar lessons.
Mom: " Make sentences with these pronouns; First one- He..."
Secondborn: " He went out!"
Mom: " I..."
Secondborn: "I want to play!!"
Mom: " You..."
Secondborn: " You are Bad!!!"
Mom (hiding smile) : " Let us stop"
Second-born (frustrated): " We are now doing identify the pronoun? Ok, its US!"
Mom: " And we are Done!"
***************************************************************************
Family is watching a movie , where the Hero plays double roles.
During a duet song sequence shot at a hill station, Second-born suddenly asks "How did he get a girl-friend?"
While Mom & Dad are preparing whether to answer it to context or joke it off,
First-born (serious tone): "Hey, its the duplicate Hero, da! "
Second-born (declares) : " Appa, you should find a duplicate of me who can write tests at school while I can go swimming!"
Dad (couldn't keep quiet) : " Swimming? You don't want to go to cool places like the Hero in the song?"
Second-born (shocked) : " Yuck, And dance with girls? No Appa No!"
********************************************************************************
Family is enjoying hot bajjis one rainy afternoon.
Dad (showing a bajji) : " What's the vegetable inside this one- shape looks like the stalk of a cauliflower"
Mom : "Actually its bread!"
First-born (declares) : " Dont't judge a bajji with its shape - Dig in!"
Second-born (patronizing) : " Its Ok, Appa! You now go chat with Amma"
******************************************************************************
Its 8pm and Dad who usually is home by 7ish is yet to get home.
First-born (concerned voice): " Amma, where is Appa?"
Mom : "Should be on his way home, stuck in traffic I suppose? Let's try ringing him"
Second-born (Already on the phone - Demands) : " Hello Appa! Where are you and when will you get here?"
********************************************************************************
While playing Uno, Mom was really truly losing to Second-born.
Second-born who wants Mom to continue playing (understanding tone)" I know its hard to keep losing, but you should try until you win. How about I deal the cards so you get 6 and I get 8? But you should do your best, OK?"
********************************************************************************
First-born accompanies Mom to borrow a kitchen gadget from a friend. Friend says she does not have it.
First-born : "Could you please recheck thoroughly (For my Tamil friends: "Konjam Nalla Paarunga).
I remember borrowing it from you before. Maybe its on the top shelf ? I could help you reach it if you want"
(We had actually borrowed it a few months ago and recently the friend disposed it. Our man delighted about his recent growth spurt, couldn't help but showing off)
********************************************************************************
At the movie theater, and dad has smuggled a chakli in the water bottle bag, but cuaght red handed and asked to collect after the show.
Firstborn (truthfulness personified): " This is why I stow my chocolate-bar in my pocket. But of course, chakli will poke"
That rounds it off folks! Looking forward to sharing more funny snippets of my fast-growing boys again!
