Kiddles

I'm where waves break and seagulls fly, with sand and sun, and a wide-open sky. What am I?
I may hold a castle yet contain no stone, form landscapes in moments, and then wander alone. What am I?
I come in sets, being seen but not caught, and in my rhythm, sailors find thought. What am I?
A home of a creature, once under the sea, now a treasure for those who stroll on the beach. What am I?
I protect your skin, though I am not a cover, I screen the sun, for beach lovers. What am I?

AURORA

Also known as Briar Rose, Aurora is a graceful and kind Disney princess who is very close to nature.
Aurora is derived from the Latin word “aurora,” which means “dawn.” This name is fitting for the character as she symbolizes the hope and new beginnings that come with the rising sun.
Known for her elegance and grace- she is strongly associated with nature and the elements. In the film, she is often seen singing in the forest, surrounded by animals and flowers, and shares a deep connection with them.
Aurora’s dress changes color in the film from blue to pink- did you notice that?
What can we learn from Aurora –
1. Love conquers everything
2. The future is beautiful if you dare to dream it
3. One must never run out of patience and hope
4. It is always healing to be closely connected with nature

India’s Pride

Zakir Hussain

Ustad Zakir Hussain was born on March 9, 1951, in Bombay, India to Ustad Allah Rakha Khan, a well-known Indian tabla player.
He was a child prodigy and began playing concerts by age seven and started touring at 12.
He made his American debut performing with Pandit Ravi Shankar at the Fillmore East in New York City where he met guitarist John McLaughlin.
Their friendship led to the formation of ‘Shakti’, a musical group that also included Indian violinist L. Shankar.
He has won a total of 5 Grammy awards (the latest being - Grammy Award 2024 for the Best Global Music Performance for 'Pashto') along with many national awards like Padma Vibhushan (2023), Padma Bhushan (2022), Padma Sri and Kalidas Samman.
He founded “The Rhythm Experience” - a world percussion ensemble that weaves the rhythms of India, Cuba, Africa, the Middle East, and Indonesia into a repertoire that combines skilfully improvised exchanges with precise unison drumming.
His contribution to music and global collaborations have established Tabla and Indian rhythms on a global platform and fascinatingly increased its appreciation.
