Real togetherness. Being close to people. Sharing your joy and happiness with them. These phrases seem to be non-existent these days. Because all we do now is, be close to our mobile phones or laptops instead of real people.
“This year, Kissanpur calls people to come and discover the joy of Real Togetherness. We, at Kissan, feel that it is about breaking free from the clutches of our smart phones and building meaningful relationships with our kith and kin in the real world. We feel that it’s time to break the shackles of the digital world and instead get down to the roots and connect in person, by feeling and sharing real emotions in the real world.”
Honestly, tell me if you remember the last time you went on a picnic with people you love, out in the air instead of a movie theater; tell me if you remember the last time you got wet and got others wet in the rain; tell me if you remember the last time or anytime you planted a plant with anyone and took care of it? Do you?
I guarantee most of you won’t. I don’t blame you. Our lifestyle is such. But can you not make changes to your lifestyle? Can you not take some time out and just not care for a while?
I can. You can. We all can.
Just stand up, keep out your so called ‘smart’-phones and grab a person nearest to you and ask them what they would like to do for fun. If there answer is anything related to movie-tv-video game-mobile, go ahead and grab somebody else.
Kissan is here to help you in fun :)
Watch watch! :
Inspired from the video, I, too, decided to get my and others’ ass up and plant the seeds.
Getting the pot ready!
Getting the equipment ready!
I did a little jugaad with by using butter knife instead of a khurpi :3
Getting hands dirty. FUN.
After 2 days.
There’s a long way to go to get tomatoes out of this but I am happy :’D
It was a lot of fun doing this activity (thanks to Kissan!) with my family.
We now have to take care of this plant and have also decided to plant at least 20 more in our society park! This way, all the members of our society would be able to participate and have fun getting dirty ^.^ The children would also learn the process of growth of plants if they do it themselves.
This, along with many other, are different ways for people to come together and do something together and also share the fun together :D Again, tell me if you could have so much sticking to your mobile phone screens all day long :3
P.S.: Do visit http://www.kissanpur.com/ and share your stories of togetherness too! You can also order fresh tomato seeds for you and your family as well! :)
Stay happy, stay together :D
Kudos!
