Friends
I’m in the process of publishing the book, Awakening Beauty — a work that explores how beauty lives in the body and what it means to learn through our senses. You can read more about it at AwakeningBeauty.org.
The printing is yet to be done – which will cost around 4.5 Lakhs, and I’m inviting friends and well-wishers to support this effort — by pre-ordering a copy, contributing toward printing, or gifting the book to others who may resonate with its message.
Rooted in three decades with children and artisans—and a pedagogy of non-interference—the book invites us to reclaim beauty as the pulse of life: not admired from a distance, but lived. It envisions children trusted more than tested, humanity reconnected with Earth and itself, and senses—colonized by systems and screens—returning to their native wisdom.
We are launching the book in Bangalore on December 2nd at BIC (Bangalore International Centre).
Your support will help bring this movement into the world.

Please join the PRE-PUBLICATION CONVERSATIONS happening on the 16TH, 23RD AND 30TH November 8 to 9 pm IST
Each day unfolds from an encounter with beauty (children and artisans) → a rethinking of education (urban schools) → a reclaiming of perception (design students, modern humans).
