It’s back! After many successful and memorable times, Music For Harmony is here again, to let us have a blast while we share our concerns, talk about change and our efforts, and celebrate peace and harmony.

Music For Harmony stands as a unique effort for all volunteers at Pravah as it establishes the spirit we all work with. It’s known to generate immense excitement, energy and passion for things we care for but mostly resist in our expression. And the best part of it all is that we invite everyone to join us! It’s unique because it is organised and managed by young, motivated people. Being SMILErs mostly, they have many stories to share, many ideas to execute.

These young people will bring musicians, theatre artists, puppeteers, among other creative individuals together as they go out there to let everyone know the sort of inspiring things they are involved in. To let you really get an idea of the level of fun we have, here are some pictures from the past. And it’s only going to get better!

Come join us, as we get together yet again. You’d love their energy. Come over to the office this Sunday, the 8th of November (address given below) and help these young people out and share their energy and excitement!

Bring your friends and family along, to see how we all can contribute while enjoying together, and envision a peaceful world. See how you can bring in the much required change, in our own little ways.

Come back soon for details of the venue, the date, and such things. We will sing, dance, write, enjoy together very soon though!

See you at the meeting!

Smile ke andar hai ek program,
‘Music for Harmony’ hai jiska naam,
Sandesh hai iska ek hi, shanty aur badhana,
Logon ke dilon mein, ummeed ki roshini jalana.

Shanti ke program ne,
success khoob kamai,piche hua kya,
kitni khalbali isne machai,
aao hum milke yeh batate hain,
Lodhi garden mein thoda fun late hain.

Hoch-poch, hoch-poch,
Yeh tha shuru mein haal,
Manmeet, Namrata, Kanika ka,
Sir dard se tha haal behaal,
Dheere-dheere SMILErs ne,
Seriousness apni dikhai,
Sur apne ideas deke,
Manmeet ki diary badhai.

Dili Haat ke alawa,
na tha kuch bhi pakka,
josh tha itna andar,
par mila nahi tha dhakka,
SMLIErs ne wahan jakar,
Jagah ki ki napai,
Aur tab jake side events ki list ban payi.

Resource aur poster ki meeting,
Campus mein bithai,
Thode se kaam ke baad,
Namrata ne treat khilai,
Dhabe mein SMILErs ne jam kar khaya,
Namrata ki pocket ko khali karwaya!

Peace package ke kaam mein,
Lag gaye sab log,
Itne colours ke beech mein,
Painting ka pehla rog,
Subah se sham tak chalta tha yahi kaam,
Par uth jate the sab sunkar tikki ka naam.

Conflict map, banner aur exhibition ne kiya kamal,
Aur ‘Music for Harmony’ ne macha diya dhamaal!!

Gaane kitni bhashaoon aur states ke logon ne gaaye,
Face painting mein jane kittno ne peace symbols banwae,
Clay modeling mein bacchon ne khoob kari masti,
Chudiyan aur diye sajakar,
Kar di raunak dugni.

Pravah ke natak neb hi,
Khoob dhoom machai,
Anyaaye aur ladai ke khilaf
awaaz uthai,

sham ko toh jaise ek suroor sa dil mein chaya,
SMILErs ne nach-nach ke shor bindaas machaya.

Candles jalake end mein,
sabne milje banaya symbol,
which represents
and a heart that is humble

Aise hua ‘Music for harmony’ ka ant,
aur last line banne se pehle mera
Brain ho gaya band!
