"Chinna Chinna Aasai"- "Small small wishes"

"Chinna Chinna Aasai" is a Tamil song which means "small small wishes", it is a song in hindi also which goes "dil hai chota sa, choti si aasha"
Today was an exciting day for everyone, especially for kids. Today’s workshop involved listening to Tamil music which included sketching a part of the song. Each of the kids chose one line from the song, added one more of their line and visualized it. They started visualizing the lines on the clothes that we have collected for them, giving them clothes to embroider on made children more excited.

Children came up with beautiful wishes after listening to the song. Chandrakala chose a line from the song that said, I want to touch the stars, she added her own line saying “she wants to talk to the starts, because it is said, old people when die they become stars, so she can talk to her grandparents by talking to the stars”


Devika chose a line that said, “Throw away your sorrows” she added her own line that said, “and flow like a river, which is independent.

I discovered that some children are becoming stuck with certain ideas; they draw either rainbow or wings in every drawing. Now next task is to figure out the ways to break their ideas which are becoming set.
