Invitation to the Annual Meet at Navadarshanam: Jan. 26, 2016

You are cordially invited to the annual meet at Navadarshanam on Jan 26, 2016 with family and friends.

THEME
Going Local Naturally:   Embracing local futures as part of the move to sustainable living alternatives
The session briefly examines how much we have lost in the last quarter of a century in the consumptive splurge that is at the heart of the current economic growth engine and how little we have gained in the progression towards that most fundamental human seeking - a basic sense of fulfillment.  The session then makes the journey back home to our own locales and explores the choices we can make to reclaim some of the lost horizons, perhaps ways we can turn our urban centres into more sustainable habitats for humanity and specifically examines the idea of localizing our food choices. 


A high-light of the afternoon is a Kabir-Bhajan session led by Tara Kini  and Deepa.

Avarekai Mela 2016 (Courtesy TOI)

Bengaluru's own flat beans fare, popularly known as 'Avarekai mela' is back. Food aficionados can head to the Food Street near Sajjan Rao Circle in south Bengaluru and tickle their tastebuds savouring a variety of items including payasam, mudde, masala idli and vada---all made of green bean.

More than 40 dishes made of beans grown by farmers of Magadi and surrounding areas will be available from January 7 to 24 between 10am and 11.30pm. The event is organized by Vasavi Condiments.

Swathi Karmakar, whose mother Geetha Shivakuma has been organizing the mela for the past 16 years, said: "Every time, we get overwhelming response. Over 200 farmers from Magadi, Kolar and nearby places work with us. Thousands of farmers' families also join hands to make it a success."

Donate books, get one free

This weekend, there is enough food for thought too. At Pustaka Parishe, visitors can donate their books and pick up another one of their choice. The exhibition will be held from January 9 to 11 at the National College Grounds, Basavangudi.
