Interactive Fun Session for Seniors
Yesterday, I participated in an online interactive Fun session targeting seniors. The website https://seenage.life hosts every Saturday at 10:30 am IST this inspiring event. The event host, you won't believe, is a 13 year old school kid from California, who happens to be the grandson of Smt Kamakshi Hatti. Today's program details are given in the attached invite. You may look up for details of future fun sessions at the website.
Under the section Gardening at home we were taught how to plant Almond. Every step was explained, described and demonstrated in great detail. The process is pretty simple. Wrap an almond in a piece of kitchen towel, fold it, wet it, keep aside for a couple days until a small spout appears. Then place the seed horizontally in garden dirt (mud) about an inch below the surface, water it and wait. You can watch them grow with wonderment within a few days. As the plant grows you may have to move it to bigger containers. He also showed avocado plants grown by him.
There was a singing session. Upon a suggestion of a word, any participant may sing a song where the word comes in the lyrics. Many sang cheerfully including some kids! Talinn also demonstrated how to paint rocks (small stones or big pebbles) with pastel colors and write some inspiring positive words / phrases on the painted surface. He took a reasonable hand sized black stone, painted it with yellow and wrote Smile in black ink. The result was imply marvelous and pleasing.
I found Talinn Hatti fascinating as a talented host. Whether it is fluency in his speech beating any seasoned magician, ability to imagine the requirements of the audience and focus rightly on objects under discussion, lighting them properly or making himself audible without interruption while moving, or mastering demo techniques (for instance, the stone has to be painted many times after each time after drying and this would take a long time, he took an already fully painted and dried stone for continuation!) etc -- what really floored me, I can not say. Due to paucity of time I had to withdraw without spending entire hour, I am sure those other 21 participants are luckier!
