MAM Movies

Being in Gandhi Ashram is truly a blessing. Every now and then we come across people who see in us their own reflection of goodness. Their sincerity, dedication and belief in global good, inspires us and gives light to move forward. A recent experience with Kshama left us with the same feeling of gratitude. Kshama joined us for one month internship. Being a media student, she was very clear that she has to use her skill for development. In MAM, our effort has always been to work towards inner process as compared to a project so we didn’t had a work for her in mind. However Kshama quickly found her passion and learned editing in FCP from Eric (another Volunteer from US ) and made a beautiful short film on cleanliness (shown above).

What really moved me was experiencing this natural unfolding of self when their is nothing to expect and lots to give.

From Kshama to every being who is crossing our path…the journey is beautiful.

A heartfelt poem by her, for all of us.

I was flying in the Sky, In search of Water,

And oh Graceful God!!! I found an Ocean

It filled me with Emotions, Joy, Love, Satisfaction.

Here, I experienced thee In Creativity and Creation.

Every day at MaM,

I saw the Treasure, PEARLS of Goodness, In words and Actions.

I learnt Shooting, Script-writing, Editing

But above all, I learnt,

The Art of Living.

To me,

MaM means,

Freedom

Freedom of Expression

Freedom of Experiment

Freedom of Sailing, Failing and Learning.

To me,

MaM means,

Big Smiles and Sweet Fights.

A small office with Air Enthusiastic.

To me,

MaM means,

Jyotsna’s dedication and Friendship

Kunal bhai’s kind Cooperation

And Madhu bhai and Meghna Didi’s

WONDERFUL ‘saanidhya’.
