In the morning we learned about the composting methods used to reuse organic waste and create fertile soil.It was a Sunday so the school was closed and things were quiet on campus. The younger Patilji took us, along with a local farmer and another man who knew many musicians to see a Shahnai (a high pitched wind instrument with a narrow mouth piece and large opening at the end) performance in a mandir in another village. We drove out to the Laxmi Devi Mandir. In the courtyard, children were playing around a holy tree with green bangles strung about it by grateful mothers giving thanks for their healthy babies.The performance started with some drumming. We would write a word on a piece of paper for the drummer and he would drum it out for another young man to decipher. Simply by hearing the drumming he would speak the name or word with correct pronunciation. Then the rest of the group came together. Two talis (small cymbals), two shahnai and this incredibly double drum. They started with a slow drone on one shahnai then quickly picked up into a frenzy. It was amazing to see the energy and excitement they brought to the performance. I couldn't help but sit there with a huge grin on my face, enjoying it all. Music is such a beautiful gift.All of us enjoyed the performance then shared some bananas with the musicians, paid them as thanks in appreciation for their wonderful art before heading out. These are incredibly gifted and hard working, musicians who end up eking out a living doing other work to survive.That night we went to the inauguration of an NSS camp in a village mandir. The community was there to kickoff a series of community building workshops, street plays and clinics where volunteers and BIRDS staff work with the community to learn about them and educate them on social issues.
