Concept Note
This compilation is an attempt to map the evolution of the ‘Kuchipudi’ dance form which originally was performed only as a dance drama to its current form where the solo format of presentation also has gained in popularity. The journey of the accompanying music & choreography as they changed with the evolution is also captured.
1) Salutations to Balatripurasundari
The presentation begins with a salutation song to Kuchupudi Vani also known as Balatripurasundari the goddess of the kuchipudi village. This composition by Nritya Vachaspati Guru Vedantam Parvateesam heaps praises on Kuchupudi Vani and the richness of the art form. She is praised for her mellifluous vocals, chatur-vidha abhinaya & navarasa skills.
2) Shrusthi:
Shrushti or the emergence of the universe resulted from pranavanadham , the om or omkara. The universe being made up of the Pancha Bhutas – aakasha, vayu, agni, jalam and pritvi whose combination gives way for life or jeevothpattas . Life after undergoing different stages of evolution culminates into the human form filled with all the worldly desires or kama, Resulting in – Janma Janmantharam, Karma Karmaantharam { Kalaya Thasmai Namaha} . Vyjayanthi Kashi has weaved the beejaksharas Ham, Yam, Ram, Lam and Vam corresponding to the five elements into the jatti format.
3) Tarangam:
This is a special number in Kuchipudi. The song accompanying this number is from the well-known “Krishnaleela Tarangini”, a text that recounts the life and events of Lord Krishna by Saint Narayan Theertha who uses various literary and musical forms such as songs, prose passages, slokas & dwipadis.
Vyjayanthi Kashi has knit in the various literary aspects of this musical opera into this tarangam “Pahi Pahi Pahi…”along with the melody of the swaras and tanams . A special element of skill is involved here. The dancers use various pada karmas and dance on the rim of a brass plate. The brass plate is the symbol of Karmakanda: one's field of activity. And the dancer is a Karma Yogi: highly disciplined with the knowledge of some footwork. Dancing on the rim indicates the human possibilities to reach beyond the limits
Raga Amruta Varshini, tala Adi
4) Thillana:
The concluding presentation is Thillana. It is a salutation to the Sun God symbolizing that the end is the beginning. Choreographed to rhythmic intricacies and choreographic patterns, this thillana is a tribute to the fact that a performance never truly concludes but like the rising of the sun it is the beginning of many more to come.

Volunteer Uganda 2014 Teaching and Orphanage program
Volunteer in one of two local orphanages in the Wakiso district, located outside of the city of Kampala. The village orphanage and school not only provide a home and safe haven this is where the children have classes.
Most of these children have lost parents to HIV/Aids. Some have been abandoned, and they know abuse, hunger and fear. The orphanage strives to provide a better future for some of the most vulnerable children in Uganda. As a volunteer, you will primarily assist with the daily care of the kids; getting them ready for school, brushing teeth, reading to them. After-school activates you can play games, arrange activities, create arts & crafts projects and share your time and caring with these wonderful children.
Prior experience not necessary, volunteers should have a lot of patience, an open mind and a sense of compassion. The children range in age from 3yrs-13yrs old.

I had my Grade 7s create games that involve adding and subtracting integers instead of doing a unit test. The results exceeded my expectations!
This game involves keeping track of the positive and negative leaves one accrues!

After teaching outside Stockholm, I flew to Luleå airport in the north of Sweden. My friend Stina picked Louise and I up and drove us 50 minutes to Piteå where we stayed at a lovely cabin for 3 nights while I taught workshops closeby. The cabin is only 6km out of town, on the Pite Alve (Piteå river).

One of the best parts of my career is that you never stop learning new things. Today we were with the case of a patient that had a highly suggestive neurosurgery plan: a woman in her late 20s with history of head injury of one day of evolution, diagnosed with epilepsy since her childhood, whom had received many anti epileptics since diagnosis. We received the CT scan that showed areas of calcification suggesting Neurocystisercosis. For many years, this patient received treatment for her seizures but not exactly for the etiology...

"One thing we really need is a cabinet in which to store our teaching and learning materials," says Principal Norkeo Keovisith. But with just 34 students in the school, the school block grants [which provide 100,000 Kip (US $12) per head (70,000 from the Government and 30,000 from GPE)] don't provide enough money to buy cabinets after other priorities are taken care of. "I wish we had a proper place to store our textbooks," says Principal Norkeo Keovisith. "We have to leave them on the table because we don't have a cabinet. And the wind and rain and dust blow in. And sometimes naughty kids come in to the classrooms and take the textbooks, so they get damaged quickly." Khokkham Primary School, Khokkham Village, Pak Ou District, Lao PDR.
